Hi everyone.
I tried to play The Castle, but i couldn't. When i take first fairy the game show me this trollface:

and game ends.

I have another disc images, but all of them show me this:

Does somebody has playable disk image or know what to do in this situation?

PS. Maybe somebody has disc image of The Castle for PC-98 too?

Just laughed at the picture :lol:
Seems to be some kind of copy protection judging by the text at the bottom.

This one should work without problems. Even met the fairy you mentioned.

Thank you very much!
And i figured why my disk images don't work. Your workable disk image weight 682KB. My two disk images weights 341KB (1st - run the game, 2nd (datadisk (2nd pic. of original post) - have some game data for full playable game and deprotection). They need to launch together, but i don't know how.
A little about protection: PC-88 (as PC-98, FM-7, X1) version can be theoretically complited without taking fairies, because they give you nothing (but maybe game count something). Red key just near her, but for MSX version it don't work, because she give it to you. But In this case game can't be completed not because fairy, but pink key is replaced by 1up bottle and you can't simple go to the next part of game.

Oh, now I've got it.
To launch them together you just need to select the respective disks over Drive 1 and Drive 2 (considering you are using M88) and it should work then.

E-e-e-mmm, i don't understand what to do, sry. I try a little to gamble with disks and drivers, but useless.
Do you have The Casle Excellent for PC-88? I think my disk images are bad as The Castle disks.

I'm assuming that the disks you have are both the Game Disk and the System Disk (whatever name they happen to have) with you.
So all you need to do is to insert the Game Disk in Drive 1 and System Disk in Drive 2 and the game should start.
If it doesn't then that's just like you've said and the image you're using is probably faulty. In this case just stick with the one I provided and it's all good to go :)

As for The Castle Excellent, here it is.
It doesn't seem to have any issues although I haven't gone too far in the game.
