Each time you "try again" you can get closer to where you need to bring the firecracker, until you finally make it. The firecracker will explode quickly again but you'll have an opportunity to take a few steps before it does.

Or, you can just select the "try again" option when Valanice dies. You can use a program like MoSlo or Turbo (both available for free download) to slow down the processor and get past that point. The issue posted above, involving the firecracker, is a timing bug that's related to the speed of your processor, not the operating system you're using. The computer may need to be set to 256 colors and 640x480 resolution (either with compatibility mode or manually) for it to work properly. There are different versions (DOS and Windows) but the one I ran (Windows version 2.00b) worked fine.
