Lode Runner level 2 is impossible.

Oops. Did someone forget to playtest this game? I got Lode Runner for PS1, and it's the original Lode Runner and sequel on one disc. But apparently they didn't invent playtesting in 1983 since level 2 is impossible. The trouble lies in the southeast corner of the screen. Those gold bars are impossible to get to. I've tried everything and nothing works. Why would they bother even making a level 3 if level 2 is impossible? GameFAQs has no FAQs on this. I tried pressing every button. I read the manual. Nothing helps. Oh well. I guess if it's so stupid I won't play it any more. And none of the Christmas lights work. Woo. At least I bought Zippy the Porcupine to keep my 64k Atari 2600 collection up to date. I wonder when the homebrew Jag carts will go on sale...
