Author:
H. Adachi
Release:
"Micom" May 1987 Issue
Program length:
24 screens
Return key: Restart the game after the game is over.

The 1st file:

Correct the author's typo in the line #120.(See below.)
For disk users:
This game is originally for tape only. This is because part of the program's area of use overlaps with the 1st disk's work area.
To load the game on Disk Basic, modify the code as below.
insects-disk-version
If you modify the code as described above, each checksum will change as follows. (using version 3.1 coded by the "MSX•FAN" team).
insects-checksum
Sorry if there are any typos, however, I tested my data and had no problems.

The 2nd file named "INSECTS.BIN":

The original file name was "M", but I'm assuming that you're managing a huge amount of MSX games' files.
You cannot even save/load this file on Disk Basic. First, enter all data using a binary editor on Windows to create one.
In such cases, we Japanese usually use freeware called "DumpWithRTCS".
Choose "Tool(T)">"Address Offset(A)...". Enter "C680". Then enter all hexadecimal numbers to F007H. I think D84BH is 03H, not 08H.
Don't forget to compare each checksum with that in the magazine. (Choose "Checksum(C)">"Add8(E)")
Finally add a header as shown below to complete.
FE 80 C6 07 F0 80 C6
insects-screen Run the 1st file. The game will be loaded automatically.

Joystick support:

This game originally supports joystick, but requires Return key to restart the game after the game is over. Modify the 1st file as below.

You can use Trigger 1 to restart the game.

For Amiga CD32 + FDD usres:

The game crashes if your CPU is 020.

For SNES + AD Adapter usres:

SCREEN3 game doesn't work on MSXAdvance.
