LYNX: Crystal Mines II bonus levels?

Well, we've been having lots of fun with Crystal Mines, and we're
up to level 117 or so, but we've only found 4 (out of 30 or so)
bonus levels.

Are all the bonus levels at the end, or have we been missing them?  If
we've been missing them, could somebody perhaps tell us the codes for
the bonus levels, or where they can be found?

Thanks,

Pete

I lost my list of levels, but can remember one level's codes quite 
easily: ZERO. Lots of point potential.

Thanks!  We're still looking for ANY bonus level codes (well, besides the
six we already have :) -- if you've got 'em, send 'em!

In the meantime, here are the rest of the codes:

Of the 31 bonus levels, I thus far have only these 6:

 10-BNRY  (get to through level 59)
 21-TMCB  (get to through level ??)
 23-PNZS  (get to through level 119)

Thanks to Arun Welch <welch@cis.ohio-state.edu> for bonus level 0.

If you have codes for any of the other bonus levels (even just one!),
*please* send them to <kaminski@netcom.com> or <casper@tsoft.net>.
Thanks, and have fun!

I got Crystal Mines II for Christmas and I've spent way too much time
since then playing it.  So far I've found 7 bonus levels.  My code list
is at home, but the first three are after levels 9, 18 and 27.  I often
wander around blowing up rocks and pushing everything until the clock
is nearly out or I'm out of bombs just so I can find the bonuses.

I love puzzle games and Crystal Mines II is now number one on my list.
It bumped Chips Challenge down to number two.

Here's most of my list; I've seen several other bonus levels, but I
guess I didn't write them down.  I'm convinced there *must* be one at
the end of level 150, but it takes so long to go through that I've
never gone back to it.  I highly recommend bonus level 19, BTW.

1@9	KQVW	Deja view
2@18	QATR	No time to think
3@27	DBFQ	Bonanza!
4@34	LEJM	Nimbus
5@39	ODJY	Monty haul
6@43	BVOS	Pinball wiz
7@48	SKLR	Ping pong
8@52	JPGR	Twist & shout
9@55	BIOH	Time's up
10@59	BNRY	Time bomb
11@61	UJIL	Time to spare
12@66	NMXS	Lava slide
13@?
14@73	RNSK	No way Jose'
15@78	STRA	Hide-n-seek
16@84	YTST	Snake's belly
17@?
18@96
19@100	WIFC	Way out			avoid the exits!

These are the bonus levels that I have found so far:

 1 - "Deja View"    (KQVW), follows regular level 9 
10 - "Time Bomb"    (BNRY),  "   "   "   "   " " 59
12 - "Lava Slide"   (NMXS),  "   "   "   "   " " 66
18 - "Killing Time" (CHRN),  "   "   "   "   " " 96

There is also a bonus level following screen 84 
("Sidewinder" (CNQR)) but I haven't worked out how
to reach the bonus exit yet.

Hope this is of some help.

William Hern.
There is one downside...

I'd have to say that the Lynx games I've seen look pretty good.  Some are
better than others, but on the whole, they all seem like they would be fun.

Now, there is one down side to the Lynx becomming popular... Quality going
down.  (or at least you'd have about the same number of quality games 
comming out now but you would also have a lot of crap games comming out also.)

Now, Im not saying that every Gameboy Game is crap, all Im saying is that 
quantity (be it the number of MEGs, colors, MHZ, or even number of games out
or comming out) does not mean quality.  I think the Lynx doesn't have a half
bad bit of advertising....  Word of Mouth.  (it got me to buy one... It also
helped that a Lynx was loaned to me for about a week by a friend)... But
it does remind me of when Intellivision was comming about... The Atari 2600
was already out and had tons o' games.  (same thing as above, some very 
good games, but many many crap games).  Everybody griped and complained that
the Intellivision was a neat system but would never amount to anything and
told me that I should get a 2600.  Well, I didnt listen, I played the sports
games and had fun.  That was good enough for me. (of course, sports was about
all Intellivision had going for it, but it still became one of the top game
systems.  Sure wish I still had mine.)
