Known Errors
| Near the end of part 2 of Frankenstein, where the Tipshop solution reads "(He follows you), JUMP ACROSS GAP" the program crashes (both TAP & TZX). Part 3 requires a name given at the end of part 2 in order to proceed. The solution does not give this name! - and as part 2 crashes near the end it's not possible to make any further progress. |
