Subject: "Willy Takes a Trip" - completable with loss of 3 lives
Just to wind up this topic, Willy Takes a Trip can be completed with a loss of three lives. The RZX recording of the game is now on RZX Archive.
As mentioned in message 6182, lives need to be sacrificed in the rooms:
"Reception Antechamber" [27];
"Womflechompies" [43];
"Psychic Bread and Butter" [57].
In all cases you have to lose a life because it is impossible to get back down safely from the upper part of the room after collecting an item / items there.
Additionally, there is a time limit in "Womflechompies" imposed by the arrow which shoots the duck that occurs after it in the guardian instance list. However, perhaps it might just be possible to get out of the room after collecting the items (or at least the rightmost item - and if you could do that, you could collect all of them by going for them individually after re-entering the room) - it can't be verified though, as there is no way to get down safely from the third-from-the-bottom Water cell on the left side of the room.
Once again, hats off to Geoff Eddy for this beautiful game and its technically-innovative challenges!
