- Timing is the key here. Go down into the pit JUST as the last critter
- passes the entry. Don't be greedy - there's more than enough gems on this
- level. Collect, um, 11 or 12 gems as i recall, per pit. (I found it best to
- go down one side then walk to the other side. Make sure the gems above you
- have a flat top like so:
- W W
- WGGW
- WGrW (G=gem, r=rockford, W=wall)
- WGGW

- ....

- Practise and eventually you'll get to the next level. It only gets nastier,
- no matter WHICH version you're playing.
- (Has anyone done a Boulder Dash clone with the ORIGINAL levels from the
- ancient C64/Atari 8-bit game?)
