Anyone, anyone at all?

I did try looking around this site, and elsewhere, but wasn't able to come up with a solution.

Any help would be most appreciated.

How to bypass BD3 unsolvable caves (I/4, A/5, I/5)?

Okay, so having played BD3 (legitimately, apart from freeze-saving) right through each level, and having finally arrived upon cave I/4, how does a person essentially "cheat" and continue on to cave J/4 (am using CCS64 v3.8 emulator)?

Ah ok, well obviously the version we had way back then in the 80's must have been bootlegged also (interestingly, while the official release date for the game was 1986, the Sijben Soft version is dated 1985). It seems some people may have had issues with the radically redesigned graphics right from ...

Not sure if it's an appropriate question to be asking but is there considered to be a 'reputable' source for acquiring BD3? Having recently completed BD1 & BD2, I downloaded BD3 from Zophar's Domain . However, it isn't space-themed... http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3299/24374843ms4.jpg http:...

Re: Long time player, first time poster questions...

Appreciate the help, finally got around to completing all 5 levels. While I had endeavoured to only use freeze saving between each cave, and succeeded in all-but-one case, I did eventually make 0/4 the exception, finishing it in 2 stages. And my patience and sanity were both very thankful as a resul...

Re: Long time player, first time poster questions...

O/4 requires perfect timing... After much grief from cave K, have finally worked my way up to O/4. Ouch, looks like I could be here a while. :( I presume there's no 'intelligent' way of releasing a stationary firefly surrounded by dirt and the best that can be done is use the fire button and quickl...

Re: Long time player, first time poster questions...

That is a bug. It can only played if you have an NTSC machine (or maybe try setting your emulator to NTSC, but VICE needs a restart of the game, then) Ha, it worked. Changed CCS64 to NTSC, reloaded the game and Rockford had the headstart on those fireflies that he needed. It may have been a little ...

Long time player, first time poster questions...

1. Can anyone honestly (remember, god is always watching) say that they have completed all 5 levels from start to finish of BD1 and/or BD2 without using freeze saving or any other form of cheating? 2. In BD1, is the bonus life screen where Rockford starts at the very top and is immediately swamped b...
