Well, I think reason some people were skipping over worlds is dependant on the score of the game you won before. I won world 17 with like 100,000 points (does that sound right?) and was given the password to world 21 (which is CORPEHAM) AMH * Andy Hartman | I'd deny half of this crap anyway!| "Somedays, you just * Indiana University |-----------------------------------| can't get rid of a * // Amiga Man | amhartma@silver.ucs.indiana.edu | bomb!" * \X/ At Large! | AMHARTMA@rose.ucs.indiana.edu | - Batman (original)

You aren't forced to start again from Genesis, so whoever said that probably just keyed things in wrong or fiddled with the controls! Just quit the game and type in the name of the highest wrold number. The way the machine addresses you after a win changes as you go up: you start as "mortal", then "eternal", then "immortal" and so on. I don't know about worlds up to number 500, but they get pretty vicious in the low hundreds. The world EOAQUEED seems to me to be unwinnable, so I went back to the previous world and won it differently in order to side-step the awkward one... -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College UUCP: liam@qmw-cs.UUCP Mile End Road AppleLink: UK0087 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Tel: 071-975 5250 (Fax: 081-980 6533)
