In Response To: The one difference... "Ain't got time pfhor this" (Thomas)

: Well, after so many years, this is fairly exciting. So pfhor WAS spelled
: phfor once. :) Or did we know that?

Actually both spellings are used in the level notes. See Level #14. So obviously there was some confusion. Pfhor and Phfor are both used in the manual too.

: I certainly wouldn't have expected the level outlines to be as close as they
: are to the final form. Sure, a few names changed, but otherwise it's the
: same... EXCEPT there are two conspicuous differences. First is the
: complete abscence of "Ain't got time pfhor this". Second, in the
: outline is a description of a level called "What is best in
: life...", which would have come after "Welcome..." and
: before "Try again".

: Though the outline specifically called "Pfhoraphobia" the
: "last alien level", "Ain't got time pfhor this" ended
: up as the final Pfhor level in M1. Some may recall "AGTPT"
: better as that mysterious egg level that seemed to be there for no reason.
: Some thought the level had importance in an early version of the story.
: However, the fact that the outline didn't include this level discredits
: this hypothesis.

True. But the egg was originally created for a purpose which obviously got dropped.

.

: Does anyone know how close to the final release those level by level outlines
: were written up?

Some parts are the same, some parts differ radically. One would expect this though.

Cheers
Hamish
