Repton 3 Now Level 8

The last level of "Now" from Repton Thru Time, published by Superior Software (http://www.superiorinteractive.com/repton/3.htm) and played on the BeebEm BBC Micro emulator.

What's interesting about this level is that on the disk version (as compared to the cassette tape version) the clock runs down faster, so you cannot get all the way around the level to the time capsule. It is not, however, impossible to complete on the disk version. It just requires the use of a glitch: if you hit Return to view your status at the exact same time as running into a skull, when you return to the game from the status screen, the skull is removed from the map! The best way to complete the level taking advantage of this glitch is to use the transporter so that you can get ahead of the spirit; this also allows you to take the key before entering the level's central area, which is normally impossible.

For a change, I've kept the original audio. Many thanks to Samwise from the Stairway to Hell forums for showing me how to fix a synchronisation problem I was having before whenever I tried to record audio from Repton 3.

When you said to me you had to die twice on this level, I'd already figured out that you could do it this way.

I was going to surprise you with my playthrough when I got to it, unfortunately I've got a long way to go to get to it!
