Actually, I've found another thing about UMM. I just realized I in
effect skipped a few of the rooms from the room with the car
(Esmeralda says "no energy" etc.).

In the next room, it's possible to jump down to the room below again
from the right side (thru the blocks, if I recall correctly), thus
effectively skipping the few rooms with Andre.

I just realized this while watching the RZX recording which played
these rooms. And _no_, I have not changed the version I play in
anyway, and I haven't used any cheats except savestates ;)
