Not as long as you might think. The trick is not to let your health
drop too far down in the first place. If you are only slightly injured
it may only take a minute or so to let your body heal back to 100%. I

Hi Dark,
Know what you mean. I use to be super careful about where and when I
used a med kit in version 1.0 because I didn't' want to run out before
the end of the game. I remember on the higher difficulty levels I
would barely come out of the game alive with only one or two med kits
in reserve
Not only that but if I remember rightly in Tarzan Junior a vine would
eventually snap if you hung onto it for too long without doing anything. I
suppose a river would work in the mountain world of Q9 If, as Thomas said,
