Optimal completion of the third level of Prehistoric. Testpilotmonkey wondered if there was a more efficient way of getting through the rock-and-diamond puzzle in the lower left, so here it is. Note also how I leave the central passage open so that I don't have to come back around the top-left to reach the lower half of the level. The first egg doesn't need to be dealt with before taking the key, because a rock or egg on a safe will always fall to its left if both sides are free.

The fact that the first two spirits can be safely released by collecting the diamonds right to left was, I think, discovered by Jonathan (reptongeek). It works because this is so near the beginning of the level that it can be guaranteed the spirits will always be in the same configuration when you reach them, and it happens to be a favourable one. (This can also be done on the BBC Micro version.)
