Rocks'n'Diamonds

I'm starting to wonder if tape gets messed up when saves are done quickly and close to another save.

Yes, you're right -- all these problems with the level set "Supaplex 96" (and all other Supaplex level sets from the old Supaplex level colletion download from the "Levels" page) are due to the fact that the levels in these sets are still converted levels in R'n'D format from a ...

I noticed this with Supaplex 96 but it is possible this could also apply to other levelsets For Supaplex 96 which is supposed to be a mirror of the classic Supaplex levels, the Electrons and the Snik Snaks don't kill Murphy on touch like in the classic ones. For Supaplex 96 gravity doesn't get turne...

Here's a tape from a level that got messed up. There was a difference between playing back from start and using F2 to load tape at a position. F2 was working, but replay tape from start wasn't. Then I exited and restarted the level, then both F2 and replay tape from start were messed up. By messed u...

Just thinking about it, the tape bugs seams to have happened more[ or only?] on levels with the 'Electron' in them, Then again maybe not.

Can't skip right to a level unless all previous levels have been completed, or manually skipped. Set "handicap" to "off" in the setup menu (game sub-section) to be able to select every level you want! :-) Thanks, that enabled skipping! Curious as to what the actual handicap(s) i...

Yes -- avoiding F1/F2 and only using the play/record buttons on the tape recorder should always result in tapes without such synchronization problems. That is, stop and replay the recorded tape (with normal or one of the faster speeds, optionally using "pause before end"), enter "pau...

For the above post I was using the latest either the latest from Debian Stable 4.0.0.1, or the latest from the website 4.0.1.0. I started off with the version in Debian Stable, and switched over the the latest from the website at some point. Before playing 'Rocks and Diamonds' I used to play ' Xye '...

I took notes while playing this game of bugs, and feature ideas I came across. Overview of main important points: Lots of bugs while trying to use the tape as a rewind and continue from there, and it's non-intuitive. It took quite a while to figure out what was going on, and how to work around some ...
