WAGE: Queen Quest appears broken (bad dump?)

Description

Every time I start Queen Quest, it puts me in a different room. There is no rhyme or reason to it. But this also happens when running it in Mini vMac, so either the game is broken or it's a bad dump of it.

On a well known mac-only website I found this comment:

"Much to my complete surprise, this game starts at a randomly-selected location. I didn't know World Builder games could do that."

So I don't know, maybe it's by design?

The WAGE engine is correctly handling a bug in the game itself. There is a scene named “Beggining” but the player character (“Carlos”) has its initial scene set to “Begginning” (with an additional “n”). That scene does not exist. World Builder handles this situation by behaving as though the player location is set to the default “RANDOM@” which places the player in a random scene.

Sounds pretty unplayable, then?
