Subject: "strangel" - Daniel's review - appendix
Two things I meant, but then forgot, to mention in my review
of "strangel":
1.

collecting the items in "i nformation" on the upper left, you can go
back down to the lower right-hand side of the room and jump through
the solitary block back down into the upper right-hand side
of "Noted" (045). Then you can make your way back through "It's a
nOIse BeinG Noisy" (044) (on the upper level) to "NUCLEAR c@s GeT new
HOME" (036) and jump through the ILB which is the left edge of the
central upper ledge (to the right of the red guardians) and so get
back down to the lower level. You can then go back to "Noted", on the
lower level, and then either head on to "leafy LANE" (048) or go down
to "Key bored" (047) and exit to the left from there.
The above route is extremely inefficient, of course, but possible.
2.
There are some rooms in "strangel" which (if I'm not mistaken) can
only be seen in the editor, and they are not leftovers from "where's
woody", either. "Escape artisT" (113) is particularly nice and it
would deserve to be used, as a playable room, in another game,
wouldn't it? And "pLASTiciZation Of enSCONsEment !" is a really cool
room name, isn't it?
