Mike, what is not working exactly? Does it uncompress? Does the intro not working, or does the game not working?
There is no illegal codes in that code, my guess is that something is not initialized at the zero page after downloading, what the decompressor expects to be, and effectively screws up the code.
If it decompresses and the intro is running, than the other issue there might be, is that some programs do use the BRK instruction for custom functions. I don't remember if TKW was one of them, but I definitely encountered a couple program where BRK was used for special purposes, usually function parameters are right after the BRK code, I remember one case when it was used for custom text printing. Zero terminated text was located right after the BRK instruction, execution continued right after the string from returning the BRK instruction.
I assume, these type of programs would have problems with your debugger, but probably not with the downloader.
