A resort for retired goldhunters

[brell]

Thanks aquaMat. Actually, no offense taken

But I wanted to clarify these points, expecially after Wingy's comment.

Ouch, finished aRfRG at last! Got 88% of secrets, and I forgot how many dollars (I'll need to replay the Red section anyway because there is still a very obvious closed door there :-?).

You little [smiley=evil.gif] you. Was the Purple section more difficult than the others or is it just because that's the one I started with?

(Except for the first zapper beam room - the first jump up actually.)

Also, in Room 13901: once you take all the money, how are you supposed to get away from above the doors? I tried taking the half-ladder but Jack just fell down to the ground and died

Which door is that?

Hopefully they are all alike but I expect that the purple one feels harder if you start there with only 6 lives and only getting silver coins.

I guess you mean the first zapper room in the blue section?

Hehe. Yes this is a tricky one - until you spot how EASY it actually is ;D

:-X this is the beauti with the game. It sometimes seems so difficult but then it is easy!

I can't remember the room number. It is a red door on the bottom left of a room, maybe the one you pop in after the fake ladder puzzle.

The disadvantage of being an order freak: you want to start with the silver coins and go up all the way to backpacks instead of doing it the sensible, I mean the other way round :

Indeed, that's the one. I think the first ladder jump (avoiding the lowest horizontal beam) is a killer. First time I played I lost all my Jacks there, next time I passed unscathed on the first try! You certainly learn to become very cautious in this mansion

I knew there was a trick. Good thing I had saved just before

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's actually easy

[aquaMat]

Easy ????? :o :o :

This mother... is the hardest mansion of all times, including many nasty surprise deaths, unavoidable falls and creature attacks.

I have yet to master a single of the available paths..... 8-)

In my experience, the gold coins path was a bit easier. Then again, I had actually finished the purple one before :

[aquaMat]

Oh really ??

I had the feeling the purple path was indeed the hardest ?!
There I always died in the first couple of rooms. 8-)

BTW, in my humble opinion, I really feel there are a few too many

sudden (cheap?) deaths

in ARFRG for an

officially released

mansion. When I consider what I always had to remove in my mansions before release..... I wouldn't have gotten away with some of those things in there.....

I mention that now, 'cause I just played the purple path again (or: tried to) and felt that it's especially

mean

there (just take the hi-speed platform jump in the second room of the purple path as an example).

I always felt I was quite a skilled player..... but there I certainly begin to doubt my abilities...

OK. Since you've finished the red section without opening that door you know it is not needed to get through but you miss a bit of treasure.
