WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

This episode is so similar to #5, I basically had to shift my patch offsets
by 4 bytes and the game was fully supported...

... except there was also a nasty mapping bug! The player could leap off the
edge of a platform they weren't supposed to, and since there was no room to
actually move to, the game started looking in invalid data for somewhere to
put them. On some setups this 'harmlessly' put you much further ahead in the
game than you were supposed to be, on others it just crashed. I've fixed the
code that leads to this problem, and also supplied a fixed map file that
prevents the jump in the first place.

Greetings and thanks to Torti for testing!

Enjoy! :-)
