Bugsy Malone's Aquarium
25.01.2007 at 05:26:48

While testing aquaMat's

Palace of Gore

I came across a new type of game-quit.

In the attached mansion there isn't a real problem to go to the right to the next room. But returning to the left is a problem. Jumping leads to all kinds of death, which is normal due to the snake and the lava. However, WALKING to the left, when the platform arrives at the very edge of the room leads either to death, either to ... game-quit.

Vern?

EDIT: updated.

Did you try more than once? Here it always ends with death or game-quit. Sometimes I have the feeling that there may be a difference between playing in a window or with full screen ...

See my notes I sent you...Freddy

This must have been a singularily phenomenon you experienced in my mansion. At that spot in PoG I can safely jump back and forth from room to room, 5 times in a row,

without a single

game-quit !!!

And apparently some of the above people have managed to do so in your Aquarium as well.... (which I have not yet tested).

There is no problem with JUMPING to the left. Sooner or later one finds the good timing to avoid both lava and snake. The game-quit problem errases by WALKING to the left. See my first post.

But I wouldn't be so sure that it is a "singularily phenomenon", based upon brell's and your experience. I only have to refer to the first Bugsy Malone Mansion, where brell and I also had different experiences with platform 4. And then, see Vern's post from January the 19th about the platform 4 issue.

Probably it depends from the timing if walking to the left leads to success, death or game-quit. If so, then it is still a bug.

There is nothing urgent, so we just wait till Vern comes along. I sent him an email about these, btw.

This morning, I found the time to have a look at your aquarium,

Freddy

.

But I have to report, that NEITHER jumping back NOR walking back from the moving platform to the previous room resulted in a game-quit. I could safely repeat it several times in a row....didn't even die when walking back.

So, neither in

Bugsy's Aquarium

nor in

Palace Of Gore

do we really have a new game-bug, exactly as I assumed before !!

I am therefore happy to report, that I will leave the respective section in Palace Of Gore intact, even though the surprise factor is now a bit gone....

I have always game-quit when walking to the left AND entering the next room. I can see Jack's toes and the top of his hat. And Jack "only" dies when he is too late to walk to the left, thus misses the roomlink and he falls in the lava of the right room. To be continued.
