FIRST THINGS FIRST:  
  
| YES, THIS CAVE IS HARD! NONE OF THE INTS IS SUPER-EXPERT LEVEL IN ITSELF, THOUGH. IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO PRACTICE SOME OF THE INTS BEFOREHAND. (SEE NEXT COMMENT FOR A DETAILED LIST OF ALL THE INTS.)  
  
| ALL (INTENDED) ΑΑΑ REQUIRED!  
  
| RELEASED AS UNTESTED, BUT DEFINITELY SOLVABLE - I HAD AN ATTEMPT WHERE I GOT ALL THE ΑΑΑ EXCEPT FOR ONE, WHICH WAS DEFINITELY ALSO POSSIBLE.

IT'S Κ'S 40TH BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR! SO HERE'S A COMPILATION OF 40 INTERMISSIONS MADE BY DIFFERENT CREATORS, ONE FOR EACH YEAR FROM 1984 TO 2023! :D  
  
MANY, BUT NOT ALL GREAT BD CREATORS APPEAR; IN PARTICULAR, THERE ARE SOME BD CREATORS WHERE I HAVEN'T FOUND OUT IN WHICH YEAR THEIR GAMES WERE RELEASED. BUT I TRIED TO PUT AS MANY DIFFERENT CREATORS INTO THIS CAVE AS POSSIBLE!  
  
ALTHOUGH THE CAVE IS RELEASED AS UNTESTED, IT'S DEFINITELY SOLVABLE - IN MY BEST ATTEMPT, I MISSED ONLY ONE Α WHICH WAS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE. THAT ATTEMPT TOOK ME OVER 20 MINUTES, SO YES, THE CAVE IS HARD, ALTHOUGH I INTENTIONALLY LEFT OUT ANY SUPER-EXPERT INTS.  
  
ALL (INTENTIONALLY POSSIBLE) ΑΑΑ REQUIRED! IN SOME INTS, IT MAKES DEFINITELY SENSE TO CHECK OUT AND PRACTISE THE ORIGINALS FIRST BEFORE PLAYING THIS BIG CAVE. BEWARE THAT Κ HAS TO SOLVE ALL 40 INTS IN A ROW WITHOUT FAILS! :D  
  
WARNING: SOME INTS HAVE GROWING ΜΜΜ WHICH CAN UNCOMFORTABLY SURPRISE Κ!

| 1984: BD 1 (PETER LIEPA), INTERMISSION 2  
DIFFICULTY: 0+3  
(REMARK: THE FIRST VALUE IS THE THEORETICAL DIFFICULTY, IF THIS ONE IS HIGH, THEN THE INT IS PUZZLING AND IT MAKES SENSE TO FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTION BEFOREHAND. THE SECOND VALUE IS PRACTICAL, IF THIS ONE IS HIGH, THEN THE INT IS DANGEROUS, FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF ΖΖΖ OR ΒΒΒ WHICH CAN CRUSH Κ. BOTH VALUES ARE SCALED FROM 0 TO 5.)

THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 40 YEARS. I STILL REMEMBER MY OLDER BROTHER GETTING A BD1 CASSETTE FOR HIS C64 AS GIFT FROM MY UNCLE. SO MANY MEMORIES I COULD GO INTO. I'VE HAD THIS SITE OPEN CONTINUOSLY IN A BROWSER TAB SINCE krissz GAVE ME ACCESS. IT'S BY FAR MY FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE INTERNET.

heywood: I HAVE SWEET MEMORIES TOO. BD1 WAS MY (BIRTHDAY? XMAS?) PRESENT FROM MY DADDY, AND I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT. I TRIED TO SOLVE CAVE J COUNTLESS TIMES, AND EVEN MY MOM TRIED IT BECAUSE SHE FOUND IT AN INTERESTING CHALLENGE. THEN FINALLY WE DID IT - ONLY TO FIND THAT CAVE K WAS ALSO VERY HARD... :D
