In Response To: Re: RED Volunteers: How big's your can? (Dr. John Sumner)

: If we don't have a small separate room in Can, I have two suggestions for a
: PB location. One would be down in the deep hole surrounding the central
: column. The player is safe there and can currently be teleported back to
: the surface. The only bad thing is that it's somewhat hidden, so a player
: might not think to jump down there. Alternatively, after the final switch
: is hit and the door that leads to the exit rises, we could have a PB
: behind that door. There are a couple of places on the walls that could
: easily house a PB. (This would work well if we have a PB at the end of END
: GAME.)

I don't like either of these suggestions - in one case, the PB is too hidden and in the other, it becomes available at a critical time when the place is exploding around the player. Take the time to save your game here and you might not make it to the end, leaving you with an unplayable saved game. I think a PB at the end of END GAME should be sufficient - replaying Can isn't all that bad if you don't have to deal with the end of END GAME, too. One warning, though - Mark's suggestion for a PB in what is now the teleport room would still leave the player in the line of fire - the door to that room would need to close quickly to avoid the player saving a game a millisecond before they are about to die.
