Subject: Re: The Time Hole
"* Perhaps the removal of some of the multi-death
scenarios. You know what most of these are, although you
might not be aware that it's possible to fall down the
right side of the chute in "The Drop" (there's a Brian
Eno album of that name, although I haven't got it -
yet) and hang yourself on the rope"
Eh? I don't
quite follow. What do you mean by "hang
yourself"?
As for multiple death scenarios, I want to make this
absolutely clear, right here right now, that For Francis
Bacon is SUPPOSED to be an infinite death scenario.
That's the whole point of the room.
"* You
suggested in the documentation a much better name for the
room to the right of "Hammersmith Appollo" (spelling
mistake there - "Disapointing" is another) - "Jelly-Roll
Morton" or whatever it was. I think you should
rename."
Fair enough. I thought it was sh*t myself, but there
you go
"* You confuse me with Andrew Noble in
the credits. :o"
Ahhhhhrgh! I thought I fixed
all of those! The first draft contained about twenty
references to "Andrew Britton" ;)
"Anyway, at least
I'm still typing The Time Hole into my real Spectrum,
which should minimise the hassle to some extent. Just
four rooms to go (60-63)."
Ahem, Time Hole DOES
have 131 rooms, of which one is empty, don't you
know
"Which reminds me of a nasty multiple death scenario
when you teleport from the bottom-right of "No Turning
Back - Which Way", and fall to your death if you don't
jump up onto the invisible conveyor just as you
teleport. That "White Tower" room reminds me of the "Black
Gate" rooms in JSW:LOTR. :-)"
You mean you can
jump up onto the conveyor? Akk! Oh well, it was rather
a cruel trap wasn't it? Maybe I should add a clue
as to which teleporters are bad?
"sendy: I
have read the room descriptions for where's woody, and
I'm really looking forward to seeing them, especially
"one for the broad minded" and "don't get kari'd
away"! :-)"
If WvsB is finally released you'll
see there's a vaguely iffy reference to We Pretty in
one room :) I wish I still had my .gif editor so I
could put up a screen shot, but then again, given
John's recent post...
