No wonder. There is a bug in the code entry that can make it appear that everything is done wrong. Anyone can test this. Get the manual from HOL and use either ECS or AGA SPS disks. Play to the end of level 1 and make a savestate while the numbers are counting down.

The problem is when typed text is compared to the correct answer. This is done by comparing with two long words instead of byte for byte. Since the first try is initialized the correct answer starts the game.

However if answer one is typed wrong and second answer contains fewer letters there will still be residual text from the longer word so it will fail correct or not.

The only way to keep from striking out is for answer three to have equal or greater amount of letters than the longest previous word.

A few examples:
Code:
      Pg Ln Wrd   Correct word      Result
Group1
 Try1 11_02_02    HARD              Pass
 Try2 68_01_04    TEMPO             Pass (starts game despite being word six in the manual)
 Try3 03_06_03    GARY              Fail
 
Group2
 Try1 11_19_14    DEEP              Pass     
 Try2 10_09_13    THRILL            Pass
 Try3 38_01_04    QUE               Fail
 
Group3 
 Try1  15_02_04   STING             Pass
 Try2  04_05_01   WORM              Fail
 Try3  15_02_04   STING             Pass
 
Group4  
 Try1  15_07_09   SLIME             Pass
 Try2  13_01_02   CLOUD             Pass 
 Try3  67_01_02   MOMENTO           Pass

Hi Clenched.
I've been working on Zool2 ECS code sheet.
Is the Zool2 AGA code sheet your work? If so, can I use your code sheet as a template?

AFAIK that sheet works on ECS too. I have three SPS versions and it works on all three.

Yes. I assembled that sheet. Obviously I didn't draw the graphics so I have no standing to give or deny any permission. So let's say I have no objection.

I tried it with Zool 2 (1993)(Gremlin)[1111] and the codes are different. There doesn't seem to be any standard answer for just the bottom graphic offset. It seems to rely on both top and bottom graphic offsets.

Anyway thanks for the O.K. I've amassed around 30 different codes for this version and I'll post the code sheet soon.

BTL codes and some last minute tips:
Shortcut to protection screen - Jump up and left at the first springboard to platform. Go left and make savestate a second or so before entering tornado.

The next situation would normally wind up in a re-boot. Page 60 doesn't even have a line 21.

Recovering from a botched entry can be done but requires an elephant memory to recall previous questions. Here's how to make a word that will work.

Code:
      Pg Ln Wrd   Correct word     Result   Works anyway
Group5
 Try1 60_21_03    BLEWITT          Pass     BLEWITT
 Try2 14_14_04    HOBBY            Fail     HOBBYTT
 Try3 04_05_01    WORM             Fail     WORMYTT
The codes:
