roadrunner Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) For whatever reason this game doesn't work on BlueMSX and COLEM. I got 5 roms for this game and none of them worked. On COLEM after the game boots up it shows a debugger screen. I had to use the emulator BEE 17,885 I couldn't attach the screenshot, it saved as a TIFF image so i put it in a zipped folder. bee-0010.zip Edited January 1, 2013 by roadrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) The Heist - 27,027 NOTE: Screenshot is of my 1st play on the virtual ADAM emulator. I then played it on a real ColecoVision and got 27,027, but I didn't realize the score would disappear so fast and I didn't have my camera ready so I failed to get a screenshot of it.

jblenkle Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I just played The Heist on both those emulators with no problem. Tried several different roms too. Just out of curiosity, which version of Colem are you using? For whatever reason this game doesn't work on BlueMSX and COLEM. I got 5 roms for this game and none of them worked.

LidLikesIntellivision Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm out for some rounds because my Colecovision doesn't work and I need to fix it. I tried emulation but it always reminds me of my coleco and I can't enjoy playing remembering I have to fix my system first... But I hope I can fix my system and return to this tourney soon.

jblenkle Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 According to my nearly 30-year-old list of scores, back in the dark ages I scored 96,782 on this game. After struggling to reach the third level this time around at 35,763, I have no clue how I got so far in the game before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 When does this competition come to an end? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Firstly, apologies for the lack of updates to this round. I have been slammed with work and home projects. Beginning to catch up now!! This round was supposed to end on Saturday, 12 January 2013 at 1:00AM EST. This would have invalidated the last two scores posted above but seeing as how I didn't post the end date/time I will allow these scores. The game for the next round will be posted with the next hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
