- If your are willing to recompile you can. I think that it would seriously
- unbalance the game. 132x60 is about 3 times 80x25. That means three times
- the toys and three times the monsters (read experience points) on each level.
- For the most part, both of these are a tremendous advantage, and would make
- the game too easy. Unless you got the big level. THAT would be a bitch.
