To correct something: The SpeedFix does not include an editor.

I disassembled supaplex.exe, debugged it (repaired the speed in first instance, hence the name SpeedFix), added new bookkeeping features like recording demos, switching between different levelsets, and a lot more, without changing the game itself in any way (apart from repairing some bad bugs). And the latest result is the reassembled version with the name spfix63.exe. Every change and addition -and a lot more- can be read in the plain text file spfix63.doc and in the updated >>>spfix63a.pdf<<<

I also let Frank Schindler from Dresden, Germany, use my disassembly to implement Supaplex in Visual Basic. He took the game part and converted each machine language instruction of the game part exactly to create Megaplex, which also plays levels of different size and includes a level editor.

Paulo Matoso from Portugal, the owner of infordigital.com, developed (and develops) Megaplex further with nicer graphics and a lot more.

Wohoo!!! I did it, finished all levels of Supaplex. Active playing time
10:45:08 (could have done better but forgot to pause the game sometimes when thinking the solution).
This won't prove anything but:

Anyway, congrats, there are some hard levels in that game.....

Well, I have been playing this game for about 15 years and finished it now for the first time (actually moved the saves-file from my old DOS-machine to be able to continue playing on my new comp).

I beat the original levels, and am now playing Level Collection 01. I am on level 11 (Romancing the Stones!) and almost figured out how to beat it. I haven't skipped any levels.

I'm working on a mod for Rocks'n'Diamonds and in the process I had to extract the graphics from the original Supaplex game. I thought it would be useful to put it somewhere so I'm attaching a download link here:

The images were converted directly from the data files (there are likely more in the game executable just don't know how to get them). I'm still searching a way to do the same for the Amiga version but I was only able to get the PHIL_00, PHIL_01, and PHIL_02 files (one of which contains the graphics) by extracting the appropriate ADF file. I also tried to feed GfxRip with uncompressed WinUAE saved states just don't know how to proceed next (the tutorial is too advanced for me).

Too bad, that infordigital.com does not exist anymore.

Therefore this new link >>>spfix63a.pdf<<<

But also the manual from the original Supaplex-CD, as it was meant: I replaced all items of the missing font with how it was meant to look like >>>Supaplex-CD-Manual_(Improved).pdf<<<
Remember, that this is the manual of the limited original copy protected supaplex.exe and does not include the SpeedFix additions, which are all listed in the spfix63a.pdf.

Great news! Paulo Matoso had to quit infordigital.com because of his accident, but now he started a new Supaplex forum at http://www.mysupaplex.com/
