(In the Nintendo version there is a "programmers' room" behind the rocks. You have to do a certain number of things to get there, though. Don't ask me what it is-- I DON'T KNOW; if you're really curious post a message in rec.games.video for the answer.) >d) Get through the opening above the concrete ledge which breaks Another dead end.
