Most of the gameplay is rather simple to program, but are
we sure the calc can handle six or seven enemies moving
around the screen, especially some of the more complex
jumpers?  Even the Nintendo can't handle a few of the
rooms.  I happen to have a book with all the maps and all
the enemies in each map and all the locations of hidden
secrets, etc.  (And I have a copy of the game itself, both
real and ROM (don't you dare e-mail me for it).)  But I think
I'd need to see a good commitment before I decided to
scan that behemoth of a book.

Definitely a noble pursuit in any case!
