Have just spent an hour or two trying that; frustrating, in that there
seemed to be various dead ends, but above all, it isn't possible to get
an overall view - you have to spend so much time going back up and down
to just see how the valving is going. I've given up.

That's true. I liked that though, it was a realistic sort of limitation, and
during the time I played it, I just let it take over. I ended up wanting
more, and there isn't any, so I keot a copy until some time when I think it
will be almost like seeing it for the first time. Never can be though, memory
is still vivid, for parts of it, and I haven't seen it for over 6 years.


Hmm, if it's something you could keep a copy of, it wasn't the one I
played last night, which was the online (well, Flash) one someone here
posted a link to.

Chasm can be saved. Notpron can't. Chasm is a few SWF files. It was a bit of
a Notpron riddle to figure out how to grab them all though...

The closest to a game
for the sake of the game, that I ever got into, was the Notpron riddle.
I got to around 27 before I got distracted and lost motivation.


I just got that to level 44. Ò^O. But now I feel like I'm in need of rehab
and a lecture on recidivism. That was a SERIOUS binge.
