I heard that there were 14 levels. Question: I'm stuck on level 8 where the timing is critical to get thru the gates/blades. I get thru (it's damn hard) but then there's looks like only one way to get further by jumping to the other side where there are 2 floor plates that are loose but even jumping from the ledge above doesn't work. I always never "catch" the ledge or make the jump which winds up by you falling on the spikes with the floor plates landing on you. I've looked for bypasses and couldn't find any. My guess is that one shouldn't be on this level. Really need help getting by this one, I'm stuck big time!! Mike Mohar mmohar@sundc.east.sun.com
