Can anyone help me with a mystery? It's pretty vague, I'm afraid...

I used to play the Magic Pockets DEMO version (haven't got it now...) and occasionally after you finished it, it let you into another level (and I think another after that...?). This seemed to be totally random. Then, I couldn't get it to do that at all...

Anyone know what I'm on about?

Moss - try using Usenet. There are more people there usually.

Thanks AW - I may well do. I didn't want to post there until I had a proper mail client set up; but I could always use Google smile

You're not insane - well, not completely. wink

I used to play this demo just to see if I could provoke it into letting me access later levels. I think the authors must have just hacked it together, leaving the entire first set of levels in for convenience. Sometimes, something you do on the first level causes the exit condition to be avoided, I think, but I can't remember if I ever worked out what it was.

Ah, thanks David. It makes sense now smile I could never work out what it was (I had the whole room playing it at one point to try and work it out); I remember the hours I spent riding the bike at varying speeds...
