Subject: matt in 'off' conveyor scandal!
i was playing original manic miner last night when i should have been
sleeping, and i noticed the 'off' conveyor in 'amoebatron's revenge'.
it IS an off conveyor, right?
it's funny because i've played this room many times before and not
thought about it. it's a clever trap, because as you land on the
animated platform which is lower than you, you instinctively hold
down right (to counter the leftwards motion of the conveyor). then of
course you topple to your death unless you are really paying
attention!
i also came to the conclusion that 'the warehouse' is one of the
easiest screens in the game. i don't know why so many people say it's
difficult - i'd say it's as hard as 'central cavern'. really.
finally i deduced that the hardest screen (for me at least) is solar
power generator. the top left key is positioned so that you have to
make 2 laps, plus there are 2 or 3 of those 'pixel perfect' '2 up and
5 across' jumps, which are right in the way of the lazer AND
guardians. result? death by lack of air almost every time :>
