Week #40 update 2016

Most of my time this week on Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks' Revenge was spent playing LAN games with my brother. We found quite a few bugs which was nice.

I'll be working on making quite a few significant changes to the save game format. I'll try to add backwards compatibility for existing saves but I might not be able to.

A name in parenthesis and in bold is the finder of the bug/quirk. Thanks to all, I really do appreciate your time and support. Cheers!
