Ok, so I found a branch of DOSbox that enables save states and gave this game a stab. With some time this should be doable, but what concerns me is I'm not getting the same results as Ross. I've beaten two levels, the one Ross beat (lightest blue) and the next one clockwise (lightest green). After I go back to the main screen (hitting escape or dying) I don't see the knuckle on my tentacle thing. I did the light green level first, didn't see the change and thought there must be a specific order to the levels. I started over and did the light blue level without doing anything else and still didn't see any change on the main screen. Any ideas? Should I be returning to the main screen through some other means? I'd hate to suffer through the rest of the levels (even with save states) if it won't actually beat the game.
