My first level ever made was MikeLrejects #1 (GOING BLOCKO). It (and many others scattered around the early levels of MikeLrejects and MikeL2) were originally made on paper probably around 1998 to 2001, and I converted them all to "real" levels once I downloaded the editor in 2001. I believe I converted them in the order I had created them on paper - my paper goal was to have a set of 99 levels (and in my mind, it would have been its own "game", called Michael's Challenge ) with the last level being BIRTHDAY (MikeL2 #99, which was possibly the actual first level I made on paper, I'm not 100% sure). I ended up releasing my first set shortly after I finished creating it in August 2001. It might have actually had 104 levels in its first release, despite my original goal of 99. In this first set (MikeL1) levels 1-8, 10-63, 66-78 and 99 were based on my levels from paper, and the rest were created only in the editor to "fill out" the set (some of the later ones being based on CC1 levels). My "original" level 9 differed completely from "paper" level 9 because I couldn't figure out the teleport patterns at the time (once I did, I created the level "again" - MikeL2 #94 I think, "Squares"). And I had to make new designs for the level 64 and 65 slots since my paper version of those levels involved a new tile, the diagonal boot.
Wow, I went a bit off topic there...
