Sorry if there are any typos, however, I have tested my data, including the ending, and had no problems.
After run this file, "KS-BOD.GRP", "KS-CHR.GRP", "KS-MAC.OBJ", "KS-MAXRO.DAT" and "KS-ROUND.DAT" will be created automatically.

Correct the author's typo in the line #650.

Make sure that "KS-BOD.GRP", "KS-CHR.GRP", "KS-MAC.OBJ", "KS-MAXRO.DAT", "KS-ROUND.DAT" and "KS-GAME.BAS" has already created on the same diskette.
Run this 3rd file (KS-IPL.BAS), then the game will be loaded automatically.

For modern emulator users:
It may be hard to control your main character. Either disable the emulator's joystick, or change "+" of "STICK(0)+STICK(1)" to "or".
"STICK(0)+STICK(1)" is in the lines #50, #860, #1120, #1650 and #1740 of the 2nd file.

For Amiga CD32 +FDD users:

Unfortunately, the 1st file fails if you use AmiMSX.
You can also run the 1st file and create files using fMSX on WinUAE, or using blueMSX.
Then copy all files to the real diskette.

27 screens in total (except the 6th file).
Home key (playing the game): Go to the next level even if you cannot complete the current level.

The game:
This is MSX2 port of PC-8001 game called "Don't mind Flemming" created by the same author ("Micom Basic Magazine" Aug. 1988 issue).
The goal is to get the blue lemmings that move in conjunction with the player's yellow lemming to enter the water first,
and then the yellow lemming to enter the water last.
Note that the game incorporated the idea of making lemmings kill themselves in water prior to the release of Psygnosis' "Lemmings".

lemmy-3rd-file-checksum
Sorry if there are any typos, however, I tested my data, including the ending, and had no problems.
By the way, there is no fanfare after completing the second stage and beyond. I am not sure if this is really what the author intended.
To make the fanfare sound after the second stage, modify the line #170 as below.
170 '

The 4th file named "F-MAC.OBJ":

Use the "memory monitoring" program that "MSX Magazine" team coded.
Save the file typing following:
BSAVE"F-MAC.OBJ",&HB400,&HB8FF
Don't forget to compare each checksum with that in the magazine.(Use the 6th file or "OGAWA.BAS".)
If you use "OGAWA.BAS", change "BFFF" in the line #40 to "B400".

The 5th file named "RO-DATA.OBJ":

Use the "memory monitoring" program that "MSX Magazine" team coded.
Save the file typing following:
BSAVE"RO-DATA.OBJ",&HBD00,&HCD7F
Don't forget to compare each checksum with that in the magazine.(Use the 6th file or "OGAWA.BAS".)
If you use "OGAWA.BAS", change "BFFF" in the line #40 to "BD00".

The 6th file named "F-MON.BAS":

It's just a memory monitoring program. You don't create this file if you have MSX Magazine's one and "OGAWA.BAS".

Make sure that the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th files and "F-CHR.GRP"
has been created on the same diskette.
To load the game, run the 1st file.


My suggestions for English version:

Modify the 3rd file as below.
lemmy-3rd-file-en-suggestions
Checksum: 300> Sir0   430> MGc0   440> eP40

For Amiga CD32 + FDD users:

AmiMSX fails to PAINT when drawing the ending screen on the PAGE 0.
Try another emulator or real machine. After it showed the title screen, press both CTRL key and STOP key. Then type:
lemmy-3rd-file-amimsx-part1
"LEMMY.BIN" will be saved automatically and you will get "Ok" message soon. Type:
lemmy-3rd-file-amimsx-part2
Save this 3rd file.
