Could there be a save point in level 15, twice west, just before the bottom left segment? I can only speak for myself, but it's really annoying misstepping and having to redo the tedious part of the room every time.

Hmm...personally, I feel that this isn't enough to warrant a checkpoint. That's just my opinion though. (L15, 2W, right?)

I'd remind you that level 8 3N (I think... the one where you have to clean 3 chambers of tar before attacking the tar mother in the bottom right corner) has a checkpoint for a similar reason, to remove the tedium of doing the same simple act over and over again.

It's certainly not anything I feel is urgent, I just always end up redoing this room about fifteen times before remembering how to finish it properly, and it would be nice to not have to do the boring stuff at the beginning each time.

Well, all checkpoints exist so you don't have to do one part of the room over again. The designers must have decided that the room you are thinking of wasn't hard enough to warrant a checkpoint. Personally, while the bottom left part can take a few tries to get, the room doesn't take that long to go through and so I think it probably doesn't need a checkpoint.

Modifications to Dugan's, I am sure, already went through a long beta-testing cycle when Caravel was released, so I am sure that Erik and Mike are pretty happy with the rooms. Good luck getting anything changed with Dugans, is what I am trying to say.

Game on,
