Known Errors:
Bugfix provided by Bandit:
  • It is impossible to load the 8th level. This is caused by the following code:
    49328: LD A,(53780) ;get new level number
    49331: CP 7         ;last 8th level (1st is number 0)
    49333: JR NZ,49336  ;do nothing with level 1-7
    49335: INC A        ;the problem is here
    49336: ....         ;rest of the code

    At level 8, the level counter is completely unnecessarily increased and program searches for level 9 instead of 8. This must be some obsolete code from development process left by mistake.
    Fixed using POKE 49335,0 (NOP-do nothing)

Modified "BUGFIX" file provided by Rafal Miazga.
