Hello,
Remember Castle Excellent? It was one of the greatest puzzle games on the MSX.
I just found that one of the rooms was unsound! You can destroy some of the needed blocks, and still solve the room in a much easier way than the designers anticipated.
As you may remember, the solution was to build a brick on top of a candle on both sides of the blue jar to be able to push it to the blue conveyor belt.
And as you can see, you can easily deliver the blue jar to the correct location without all the hassle!!
What do you think? I know some people are probably thinking "DUH!" , but honestly, to me, this was a big deal. It was great to find something like this in specially in this game. Any comments are welcome. I love talking about the castle

this room comes somewhere in the beginning of the game.
Its also the first time you see these candles.
The rooms in the beginning of the game are all quite easy.
I also destroyed the candles and solved the room the way you described.
Before that I did it the other way (piling the rock on the candle).
I think the designers of the game just gave you 2 alternatives and didnt explicitely wanted you to do it the 'hard' way.
But, no one knows, exept those japanese dudes.
Hey now that we talk about castle exellent.
Is there also a version in which you can save on disk ?
Only the adapted version for the MSX-PLAYer allows to save on another way than on tape. Actually, as it is an emulator, it allows to save on your PC harddisk what correspond to CAS files.
Of course, you can also use blueMSX, paraMSX and RuMSX as these emulators have built-in save CPU feature.
