Interesting! Doing an 'explore' of the CD-ROM I not only cannot find the MPI Battlez, but even the 'Training' and 'Standard' Questz seem to be embedded within the Gruntz.REZ (or VRZ) file! I seem to remember that I did an extract of those files years ago in order to provide the maps for the 'Standard' Quests, so the 'Standard' Battles probably also exist in the folder I created for the contents. That is my next attempt at determining the puzzles that should be grouped within "Standard Battlez".

What I found
Area | Width | Height | Battlez Level Name | 1 1 | Width Width | Height Height | Training Rumble In The Rockz | 2 | 80 | 80 | Fantasy Islandz | 3 | Width | Height | Jungle Bunglez | 4 | 90 | 80 | Flying Fiascos | 5 | Width | Height | Casino Conflictz | 6 | Width | Height | Countertop Catastrophiez | 7 | Width | Height | Goo On The Greenz | 8 | 80 | 80 | Star Warz |
I only really examined three of the nine puzzlez available. That's why no size for the rest.

There are two Battlez named StarWarz. One is a standard Battle made back in 1999, and the other is a custom, fan-made Battle created in 2009. I really think the latter should be renamed to avoid confusion. Also, I approve of the idea for having a subforum for Standard Battlez.

The one created by Abdalla is not the same as the one supplied by Monolith Productions, Inc. ... just (mis-)named the same. That is the reason why I am pursuing creating a "Standard Battlez" Board with the MPI versions, and will probably rename Abdalla's version to ?!? along with its own "View the map!".

Weird.Is the sence is that : If you rename Monolith Productions Inc. to your name,then the level is being yours. The MPI version and the Abdalla version are nothing at all alike ... Abdalla merely duplicated the name, and I (not being a Battlez fan) did not realize the naming problem. The same sort of thing happened with "Kitchen Chaos" ... the Quest coming first, then the Battle version (belatedly re-named "Kitchen Chaos Battle").
