Even though the series is long dead, I think is worth it's own thread. Even if it's just so I can upload levels I'm stuck at, and maybe get some ideas how to solve them. Or just talk about the series, and I will just post more pictures of levels I'm stuck at. Mainly wanted to make this thread. Anyway, here is the level I'm stuck at, right now (edit: already solved):
If you have never played one of these games: You need to collect all the hearts, then the treasure chest opens up. You then need to collect the treasure, and only then the door will open and the monsters will vanish. You can still be killed, after collecting all the hearts, but before getting the treasure.
The green blocks can be moved. The whole playing field is divided into squares (size is one of the green blocks), but you can move yourself and the blocks just half a square. No pulling.
The gray thing to the bottom right is a Medusa. It doesn't move, but if you get into it's line of sight, you die. Except if there is a green block or a stone (like the one directly above the Medusa) is between you and it's point of view.
The ugly, pink thing is a Don Medusa. It's like the Medusa, except that it moves from left to right and right to left (if it hits a wall, or a stationary enemy, or a block).
The grey block above the treasure chest is a Rocky (I think, I'm not sure if that's it's true name). It doesn't kill you, but it can block you in. It also prevents (Don) Medusa from killing you, if they are between you and them. The walk into the direction they are looking in (here it's north, which is why you don't see the eyes). When it hits a wall, or anything else stationary (plus monsters), the change direction by 90° clockwise. They never stop. Except, if you are north or south of them, then they will run towards you until blocked, or until next to you. You can't move them - they can block your way. Also, if they are near you and right or left of you, the will stop moving. Another great way to get blocked in.
I know that I need to use the Rocky to block the view and movement of the Don Medusa, so I can get below it and get the green block up, to block it on the right.
Writing this, I realize that it's probably pretty hard to help me this way. But maybe this will be fun, as a group effort, or something?
You can also just talk about the games. They are pretty great puzzlers.
Edit: And level solved. Sorry, if you put any effort in already. Feel free to suggest ideas, though.
