Technical info on Lode Runner 2
by Stephen Appleby
=================================================================
The orignal plans for LR2 included a "MALL WORLD" and "ALIEN WORLD" but
they weren't included in the released version. They left spaces for them
in the game, if they'll ever release them to the public...who knows.
you can see for yourself...open one of your homemade lvls in a HEX
editor and change the bit at offset 12 (the 12th bit of xx) to 07. Open
the lvl with the changed bit in the editor.....you'll get a message
MALLWG.PRX not found.
