WolfAmongWolves Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I just acquired my first Telegames game - Quest for Quintana Roo. I had real difficulty inserting it into my 2600 (4-switch woody). It wasn't just a snug fit like some of the red box Atari games, this was like coming up against a wall. I tried different angles and had to use some force until it finally worked and I was able to play the game. However, when I removed the game there was a loud snap as a chunk of plastic from somewhere inside the cartridge broke off and I had to fish it out of the catridge slot. I thought that that might have been the problem, but since then I haven't been able to reinsert the cartridge, and I certainly don't want to damage my Atari trying. I compared my cartridge with the cartridge scan here on AA, and it is identical, including that strange upside down end label. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a known issue with Telegames cartridges or is mine just a production error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas10e Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 ok I think I figgered it out .... the blades inside the cart open a dust door on the console .... on the telegames cart those blades enter slot at exact same time as the PCB .... underneith is an activision cart & blades enter before PCB wiggling from right to left is how I had success with mine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfAmongWolves Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 You're right, that's exactly the problem, and the solution. If I lean the cartridge to the right I can insert it. Thanks for your post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
