I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com),
IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on.
Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many
sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of
hassle in my mailbox.
So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please
let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.
Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear
anywhere at the following URLs:

(C) HOW TO PLAY
###############################################################################
Bricklayer J. Gastronomy
There really isn't a whole lot to this game. It pretty much involves you
racing a second human player through a maze that fills the screen. There is no
option to play against a CPU-controlled player, there is no time limit, and
there is no score.
Each maze is randomly generated and you will always start somewhere at the left
side of the screen. The exit to each maze is represented by a huge open
column/path at the right end of the screen. Whoever makes it to this edge of
the screen first is the winner for the stage.

(E) TIPS
###############################################################################
I find that it works best to start from the right edge of the screen and trace
the path quickly until you find the major turns that you need to take at
crucial forks. Once you have these in your mind, you can start running through
the maze and take them!
The cops ALWAYS stick to the same wall. Which means that either they always
turn right when they come to a fork in their path, or they always turn left.

(F) EXPERIMENTAL
###############################################################################
For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
