At any rate, I used the little utility which gives you the names of every world to see what was up ahead, after getting to about level 27 normally. All the early worlds seemed too easy. So I began skipping around. Level 100, too easy. Level 200, too easy. Level 225, impossible. Huh? Went back and spot-checked - somewhere between level 207 and 215, it goes from easy to impossible. I don't have the time to explore this further right now and I'm also not willing to swap a 68000 back into any of my machines just to run what is simply buggy software, but apparently there does seem to be some strategy involved somewhere that I have yet to learn. Perhaps if I read the manual? . <<<>>> -- |Ben Scott, professional goof-off and consultant at The Raster Image, Denver| |FIDO point address 1:104/421.2, bscott@isis.cs.du.edu, or BBS (303)424-9831| |"Spent 4 hours burying the cat!"
