A long walk off a short pier was one another of the "early" levels. For the record, most of the levels from the "early" stages of Chimera were trashed, remade, then trashed again. I suppose if we had a "lost levels" of Chimera, it'd triple the size of the game... Or quadruple.. Scott? Chris? Thats what you get for over 4 years.

Anyway, in early versions of the level the secret term was quite easy to find- so easy the first 4 times I played it (when we still had filler text and it didn't look like a secret terminal) I thought Hell Pfhor You was the next planned level.

It also used to be possible to get stuck outside the ship and not be teleported :(

When we were building the levels level by level and testing them, we'd always have to have ammo dumps right where the player starts. This and a lack of final physics model enabled us to have a lot of fun with various aspects of the game.. Rocket hopping where you shouldn't have been able to and the like (like into and out of the juggy hanger on this level :)
