OK, stuck it on my hard disk. Still a little slow between levels (w/DMA SCSI and Rodime 450Rx 1.25ms linear read). Is there any way to quit from it? It really sucks to launch it from ProSel-16 v8.54 and have to reboot. Now, onto the main question...what does it take to get past those stupid ropes in level 1C, I think it is. I've done it twice, but I can't seem to repeat it. I must have gone through 60 guys already! All I can figure is you HAVE to take a running jump to get it, and you have to land on the right spot on the rope. Do you have to "pump" the rope (swing with the joystick), or will it do everything on it's own? Is there any way to go up or down the rope? Any other tips at all would be appreciated. I'm also having trouble with the logs in level 2, but I always only have like 1 guy left by the time I get there and my joystick is a little screwed up so it walks the guy off of 'em. Mike BTW-How many levels are there?

I've won Rastan. There are 4 levels. Have you ever played Sammy Lightfoot? That got me in sync with the ropes. My trick is to not jump when the ropes meet EXACTLY, but when the rope you are swinging on reaches its farthers point a little bit before the other rope reaches its closest point. The log raft things on level 2 are the most difficult things for me... that and that first winged blue guy on level 1. Awesome game. Well worth the price. -- ===> Josef W.
