There aren't color nor even reverse video support on VT-52 terminal, so the game doesn't properly work on it. These changes fix both title and border display on main screen and avoid the use of spaces (" ") to draw the buildings.

Hi. Thank you for your feedback.

I already put an option in the "Set Preference" screen (option 2):
Screen 1

...in order to change the block character (option 5):
Screen 1

You can "play" with it and select a character which is compatible with your system (MSX).

Try it and let me know!

Yes, I've saw this option but, by default, the game uses spaces and using a monochrome terminal (as VT-52) will produce invisible buildings. This change avoid it by replacing the block char.
Is a kind of improvement to prevent user to abort the game, change char and try again...
...something I did a lot of times. :-)

By the way it doesn't affect the others setups.
