HARD-EVIDENCE: Across 1.2 README.TXT states the author of Ramp Frenzy (20). SOFT-EVIDENCE: Presumably all the rest are made by Balazs himself because the text mentions a brother and a friend so why to skip anyone else. A simple version: Barczi creates Uphill Battle, Slippery Slope and Ramp Frenzy, Csaba creates Expert System and the rest are by Balazs. The overall confidence is close to 100 %. ## Action SuperCross 1.2/1.3 ### Shareware (Across 1.2/1.3) 1. Warm Up 2. Flat track 3. Twin Peaks 4. Over and Under 5. Uphill Battle 6. Long Haul 7.

More levels ("http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/balazs/across.htm" and "VISIT OUR HOMEPAGE FOR MORE LEVELS") ### Level makers (Across 1.2/1.3) Barczi : 5, 21 Csaba : 13, 14, 16, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 Balazs : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 38 HARD-EVIDENCE: Across 1.0 README.TXT states the authors of Uphill Battle (5) and Expert System (39). HARD-EVIDENCE: Across 1.2 README.TXT states the author of Ramp Frenzy (21). SOFT-EVIDENCE: The rest Across 1.0 levels are made by Balazs (certainty close to 100 %, see above). HARD-EVIDENCE: Across 1.2 README.TXT states that "Csaba Rozsa, my brother, who designed almost all new levels in version 1.2" HARD-EVIDENCE: Csaba is told to be making harder levels (https://hungame.blog/2023/02/19/22-23-interju-50-elastomania/). HARD-EVIDENCE: A screenshot leak of the original source code mentions, out of the Across 1.2 levels, that there are 11 CS levels, 2 PROBA levels and 1 BAL level. In addition the new versions of Enigma and Turnaround exist, modified around the time when BAL01.LEV is created. (https://media.pulu.org/palsta/files/60/img/internal_levels_by_date.png) HARD-EVIDENCE: BAL01.LEV is Labyrinth (15). (https://media.pulu.org/palsta/files/60/img/internal_levels_by_date.png) HARD-EVIDENCE: CS-levels include Hang Tight, Serpents Tale, Fruit in the Den, Shelf Life, Apple Harvest, Double Trouble, Zig Zag, Bounce Back and Enduro (https://media.pulu.org/palsta/files/60/img/internal_levels_by_date.png). HARD-EVIDENCE: PROBA1 is Tricks Abound made by Csaba (https://media.pulu.org/palsta/files/60/img/internal_levels_by_date.png). HARD-EVIDENCE: PROBA means "test" in Hungarian. SOFT-EVIDENCE: BAL presumably refers to "Balazs" and CS to "Csaba". SOFT-EVIDENCE: Rumours around the original source code tells the following levels are made by Csaba: New Wave, Spiral, Headbanger, Animal Farm, Labyrinth Pro, Jaws, Curvaceous, Framework, He He, Freefall and More levels. SOFT-EVIDENCE: Temporal connection between the BAL01 and the new versions of Enigma and Turnaround with the fact those levels are originally made by Balazs, makes it highly likely the new versions are made by Balazs, as well. A simpler version (confidence in brackets): * (100 %) Barczi creates "5. Uphill Battle" and "21. Ramp Frenzy". * (100 %) Csaba: "39. Expert System" * (99 %) Balazs: "1. Warm Up", "2. Flat Track", "3. Twin Peaks", "4. Over and Under", "6. Long Haul", "7. Hi-Flyer", "8. Tunnel Terror", "9. The Steppes", "10. Islands in the Sky", "11. Hill Legend", "12. Loop-de-Loop", "18. Hangman", "19. Slalom", "20. Quick Round", "22. Precarious", "23. Circuitous" * (90 %) Balazs: "15. Labyrinth" * (90 %) Csaba: "41. Hang Tight", "13. Serpents Tale", "30. Fruit in the Den", "24. Shelf Life", "42. Apple Harvest", "33. Double Trouble", "28. Zig Zag", "25. Bounce Back", "35. Enduro", "40. Tricks Abound" * (80 %) Balazs: "17. Turnaround II", "38. Enigma II" * (80 %) Csaba: "14. New Wave", "16. Spiral", "26. Headbanger", "27. Animal Farm", "29. Labyrinth Pro", "31. Jaws", "32. Curvaceous", "34. Framework", "36. He He", "37. Freefall" The simplest version (100 % confident): Barczi creates "5. Uphill Battle", "21. Ramp Frenzy" (and "14. Slippery Slope"). The rest are made by the Rozsa brothers, more largely by Csaba. ## Elasto Mania 1.0 (and all the rest versions) ### Shareware (Elma 1.0+) 1. Warm Up 2. Flat Track 3. Twin Peaks 4. Over and Under 5. Uphill Battle 6. Long Haul 7. Hi Flyer 8. Tag 9. Tunnel Terror 10. The Steppes 11. Gravity Ride 12. Islands in the Sky 13. Hill Legend 14. Loop-de-Loop 15. Serpents Tale 16. New Wave 17. Labyrinth 18. Spiral 19. Please Register ("PLEASE REGISTER FOR MORE LEVELS") ### Registered (Elma 1.0+) 19. Turnaround 20. Upside Down 21. Hangman 22. Slalom 23. Quick Round 24. Ramp Frenzy 25. Precarious 26. Circuitous 27. Shelf Life 28. Bounce Back 29. Headbanger 30. Pipe 31. Animal Fram 32. Steep Corner 33. Zig-Zag 34. Bumpy Journey 35. Labyrinth Pro 36. Fruit in the Den 37. Jaws 38.

Hang Tight 53. Hooked 54. Apple Harvest 55. More Levels ("WWW.ELASTOMANIA.COM" and "VISIT OUR HOMEPAGE FOR MORE LEVELS") Note: "Animal Fram" typo is fixed in Elasto Mania v1.1. ### New levels (Elma 1.0+) Practically all Elma levels are new because the physics are different compared to Across. The next list includes only totally new levels. 8. Tag 11. Gravity Ride 20. Upside Down 30. Pipe 32. Steep Corner 34. Bumpy Journey 39. Haircut 45. Sink 46. Bowling 48. Downhill 49. What the Heck 53. Hooked Note: Downhill and Hooked are released earlier in the first external levelpack published in the official website (acpack01.zip) (1998-05-19). ### Modified levels, functionally (Elma 1.0+) Some of the old internals get changes that affect driving. 7. Hi Flyer (new end, no moving apples) 15. Serpents Tale (right bottom area isn't a smooth downhill anymore) 17. Labyrinth (start, end and the last apple circle modified) 22. Slalom (the start downhill is less deeper) 26. Circuitous (a strange "spike-thing" added) 31. Animal Fram (octopussy added) 33. Zig-Zag (the right uphill is modified, one apple and one vertex are moved a bit) 35. Labyrinth Pro (vertices moved in the beginning loop area and where you go if you miss the bounce in end) 38. Curvaceous (left top corner edited) 47. Enigma (the platform above the apple is modified) 50. Expert System (moving killers removed) Note: Many apples in many levels have slightly changed positions because of the new level format. In addition, many vertices have been also moved slightly. In many Across internals the bike starts from the air so the player must wait a few moments until the bike drops to the ground before gasing affects. The next lists shows the Elasto Mania internal levels where the useless drop is removed. 1. Warm Up 2. Flat Track 4. Over and Under 10. The Steppes 12. Islands in the Sky 13. Hill Legend 14. Loop-de-Loop 15. Serpents Tale 18. Spiral 21. Hangman 23. Quick Round 24. Ramp Frenzy 25. Precarious 26. Circuitous 29. Headbanger 31. Animal Fram 42. Enduro 47. Enigma 50. Expert System 54. Apple Harvest ### Modified levels, cosmetic (Elma 1.0+) Many levels get cosmetic changes that don't affect driving. 4. Over and Under (a strange "hole" in the main polygon) 5. Uphill Battle (a visual platform in right top is removed after the level format upgrade) 7. Hi Flyer (new name without "-") 10. The Steppes (secret area added) 13. Hill Legend (the roof of the level modified) 16. New Wave (the left bottom corner modified) 19. Turnaround (new name, one killer placed in the bottom of the level) 31. Animal Fram (unintentional new name including a typo) 33. Zig-Zag (new name with "-") 36. Fruit in the Den (polygons joined) 47. Enigma (new name) ### Level makers (Elma 1.0+) HARD-EVIDENCE: Elma 1.0 README.TXT states that MUe created "46. Bowling". HARD-EVIDENCE: Elma 1.0 README.TXT states that "Csaba Rozsa, my brother, designed more than half of the levels". HARD-EVIDENCE: acpack01.zip's LEV#01.DIZ states that Csaba created Downhill and Hooked. SOFT-EVIDENCE: The across part above. The only version (100 % confident): Barczi creates "5. Uphill Battle" and "24. Ramp Frenzy". MUe creates "46. Bowling". The rest are by the Rozsa brothers, more largely by Csaba.
