HELP! :=- Eric :=- : Ahahahahahaha! What a mor---oh, you said *don't* laugh. Sorry. :-) : :Spoiler follows: : [followed by a spoiler] Well, I have a different solution. :-) Spoiler follows: 1. Turn your first guy into an athlete, he'll climb over, and float down from, the first two pillers. 2. While he's getting started, take the second guy and have him dig down a bit. When he's down enough, turn him into a basher and start across the screen. 3. Up the drop speed to 99. 4. Back to the first guy, have him bash through the third column at the top of the stairs. He'll be considerably ahead of the group who're bashing their way through the ground. 5. Have the first guy start building his bridge across the big gap a bit down from the edge. Enough down to allow the group working their way through the ground to pick that bridge up. 6. From here on, it's simple. There's enough time for that first guy to build enough of that last bridge over the second gap to allow the main body out. You'll have enough time to rescue 100%. -- -Bill Seymour billsey@agora.uucp or billsey@agora.rain.com ***** American People/Link Amiga Zone Hardware Specialist NES*BILL ***** Bejed, Inc. NES, Inc.
