Repton 3 Prehistoric Level 6

The sixth level of Prehistoric has a couple of interesting features. Firstly, the Repton shuffle of ten rocks near the beginning is the longest required single shuffle in the game; only Orient Level 6 requires shuffling more rocks in total, but they are in two separate shuffles of six each. My original solution to Work Level 8 involved a single shuffle of twenty-nine rocks, but (thankfully!) I have proved that this is not necessary to complete the level.

Then, the rock-and-diamond puzzle in the final area can be entered through either of two transporters; one goes to the bottom of the area, making it easy to solve; the other goes to the top, making it extremely difficult. The transporter going to the bottom is harder to reach than the other (being behind another transporter) so you might think taking the one going to the top is necessary for a speed run. In fact there is not much difference in speed between the two solutions. However, in this video I take the transporter to the top of the area anyway, to show that it can indeed by solved this way.

The music for this video is "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash.

I tried so hard to get all the berries from the top transporter, I was sure it wasn't possible. Thanks for showing the way.

I had to try very hard as well! If I didn't know it was possible from having solved it before, I would probably have given up.

I think every Repton level should play out to the music of Johnny Cash.
