The timer works incorrect, after 8:59 will be 10:00, 18:59 -> 20:00 and stopped at 88:59 -> 80:00

POKE 41223,10: POKE 41242,10
and the timer works perfect.

Here is a special mode of Bugaboo what helps you to press the jump key to perfect time.

How to enter:

1; Start the game and wait until Bugaboo waits for you on the ground.

2; Press A (Abandon) and keep pressing BREAK during border effect.

3; Now you are in BASIC.

4; Redirect 2 procedures:

POKE 27084,205
POKE 27085,118
POKE 27086,112

POKE 27447,205
POKE 27448,126
POKE 27449,112
POKE 27450,12
POKE 27451,13

POKE 27495,211

5; Load the new procedure into the memory:

LET C=0:
FOR F=28790 TO 28817
INPUT A:
POKE F,A:
LET C=C+A:
NEXT F:
PRINT C

and type these data in row (just 28 bytes):

34 37 161 33 137 112 24 7
33 00 00 78 13 200 35 34
127 112 201 47 55 120 62 62
 147 120 41 1

The checksum value is 2033. If it not, do it again.

6; Lets' go back into the game:

GO TO 1195

7; Now start the game with G (Game) and jump throught the shortest way:

LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT

1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0

8; Check your time. All jump are absolutely the minimum needed length.

14 seconds ?

Sometimes the monster will catch you. Don't worry, try again.
You have only 8 jumps then Bugaboo will stop and wait.
At this point press the A key to start a new try.
