Subject: "J4 - The Fourth Remix" / "Willy The Hacker" - lives lost / complet

 

In the framework of my methodical playing and RZX-recording of gamma-
released JSW games I have just started "processing" Geoff Eddy's games.

I have come to the conclusion that 2 lives need to be lost in order to
complete "J4 - The Fourth Remix". It happens in the following rooms:

1. "Abbey of Thelema" (45)

There is no way to escape from the green horizontal guardian after
collecting the two leftmost items.

2. "The White Room (well, almost!)" (08)

There is no way to collect the leftmost item without getting killed
from falling.


I have also experienced a crisis in the room "The Right-Hand Edge of
the Map" (27) of "Willy The Hacker", where it seems to me that the item
is unreachable - you can't jump over the rightmost vertical guardian on
your way to the item (AFAICT), and there seems to be no other way to
reach it (like entering the room from above) either.


Could somebody verify these problems and either confirm that indeed
they are due to bugs, or prove me wrong and suggest a solution?


To Andrew Broad:

You mentioned playing "Willy The Hacker" back in message 5923. Were you
able to complete it without cheating (or using the teleportation
feature, which is cheating, too, I guess)???
