Subject: JSW64 MM: James Bond "GoldenEye" Portal Problem
I have just spent over an hour trying to reach the (already red)
portal in "GoldenEye", but I have failed :-( . I think I have tried
all the possible positions of jumps towards the rope from both the
upper left platform (on which the fast black HG is moving) and from
both of the lower platforms. I haven't found any position from which
JB wouldn't fall down immediately from the rope (many times after a
slight jerk upwards). There seems to be no way to make him jump
to the right from the rope.
I have also considered using the strange feature appearing at the
left edge of the screen, due to which you can make JB walk to the
right in mid-air along (above) the upper left platform. However, I
can see no way to jump over or avoid the black guardian without
losing this precarious position before getting close to the rope.
I have also tried vertical jumps towards the helicopter from both
the edge of the lower right platform (on which the red HG is moving)
and from below the portal. In vain.
I think that at this point I have run out of ideas and have to
concede defeat :-( . The only thing to do for me now would be to
retry the jumps from all the possible positions on all three
platforms, but I don't have enough faith and determination - it just
seems pointless to keep trying the same thing over and over again,
with time passing by mercilessly.
Could you help out and tell me the solution, Andrew, please? :-) If
it is something simple and I have missed it, I will admit I am a
stupid idiot :-) . And if it is something forbiddingly difficult, I
will admit you are an evil genius :-) .
Daniel
P.S. And from the technical point of view, what is it that actually
makes JB fall down from the rope?
