There's a paralysed rope in "Rugby Posts" from FTB. I wanted it to
be frozen at an angle, but the limited resources I had said no.

I don't see how you could freeze a rope at an angle without using a
special patch. Of course, in Erix1 Mode you can freeze a rope on any
time-frame using a switch.

I look forward to playing JSW:FTB, though it's near the back of a
long queue. Today I played Adam Britton's _The Continuing
Adventures_, finishing with a toilet-time of 9:29am.

It wasn't the Special Edition of TCA that I played, but the 1985
original:
Adam Britton released a Special Edition of The Continuing Adventures
that is possible to complete, and has many other improvements.
However, since TCA-SE removes "The Sky-Ladder" [42], and also
because the original TCA has historical value, I consider TCA and
TCA-SE to be two distinct games, rather than that TCA-SE should
replace TCA.

Only one of the changes from TCA to TCA-SE needs to be applied to
TCA to make it completable: "The Miniature Sherwood Forest!" [17]
has an unreachable item.

POKE 53557,1 puts a floor-block at (6,23) so that you can jump up
for it.
