The first two levels of Repton 2, Tim Tyler's 1985 sequel to Repton, published by Superior Software (http://www.superiorinteractive.com/repton/2.htm) and played on the BeebEm BBC Micro emulator.

Repton 2 is a much more complex game than its predecessor. The first level contains transporters to the other fifteen levels, allowing them to be played in any order (except for a few traps that make the game impossible if certain levels are played before certain others). In this video I start with Screens G and H, since these are, if not the hardest, certainly the most luck-dependent levels, and getting them out of the way makes it less likely that a whole hour's progress will be wasted by a stroke of bad luck.

Repton 2 is a little more tedious to watch than Repton 1, as in this game it is necessary to collect all the earth sections (of which there are 4744). To alleviate this a little, in this playthrough the videos are sped up slightly and put to new audio tracks. In this video the audio is "The Chrysanthemum" by Scott Joplin, the piece from which the original Repton 2 music was taken, but now you can hear the whole piece and not just the short fragment that was used in Repton 2.
