L = your life remaining and E = escapes, which is how many times you’re allowed to fall into a pit (there’s pits, though thankfully they’re nothing like those from E.T.) or be caught by the apes but escape from the cage. Unlike Alligator People, Planet of the Apes couldn’t have been released in the state it’s in. Now, how close it was to being ready is up for debate, but there was enough here for me to render a verdict on.
