Actually, I was talking about the crappy ones. You know, the sprite comics/movies where there's no plot, and the sprite characters are there because the author can't draw. Whilst I haven't read a huge amount of 8-Bit Theatre (I know little of 80s-era games) I didn't particularly enjoy it - it's not my sort of comic.

This is my new favorite mod! I've ALMOST won it. My closest time was when I had ship parts 1, 3, and 4. I had the Yellow Keyburger (lol) and had just found the Yellow Bork. I opened in and...

The screen turned to garbage. WTG (what the garg)? I don't know what went wrong there......

Yes the mod is great, although I generally don't like inlevel teleporters.
Strange thing that happened to you there, I remember beating it once or twice, and I never had a bug like that.

I don't see why so many people dislike inlevel teleport. It opens up a whole new aspect of modding. I beat it after fixing the drive. Good old SCANDISK.

It's a hack and looks ugly, because there's no delay for the teleport like on the maplevel. And it causes trouble (misplaced tiles and stuff)

In this mod, yes. But in other mods it looks just fine. The teleport is a bit jarring, though. I believe the floaty, blinky tiles appear because of Class 1 sprite overload.

It happens when the animation is flipping over when Keen teleports.

I'm sure Lemm could fix it to have a delay. I think what it really needs is a sound. Chips Challenge has an instant teleport and nobody minds.
