Tempest Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I tried to fire up Congo Bongo on my Atari 1200XL last night and I had some problems. My 1200Xl has the Warp+ OS mod so I really have four different OS's (Atari 800, 1200XL, and two different XL/XE OS's), but they all had problems. The first thing I noticed is that the XL/XE OS's made the high score on the title screen turn to some stange number (620132 or something like that), the 800 OS made is all 0's (which is what it should be), and the 1200XL OS made is a combination of numbers and " I figured I had a dirty cart so I cleaned it and it still does the same thing. I plugged in my 800XL and it seems to work fine, except the highscore is still a combination of 0's and " Has one else had this problem with Congo Bongo?

Bryan Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 The file version seems to work properly on my 800XL. The problem is probably due to improper initialization of RAM. Is there an image of the cartridge ROM available? Wrathchild is pretty good at tracking down programming violations (this whole game would qualify IMHO). -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is, but I don't have one. Does the disk version have all four levels? Is there a list of Atari 8-bit games that have "Programming Violations"?

Bryan Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Well, there's this: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq/s...section-58.html but Congo Bongo isn't listed. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Did Congo Bongo really come out on disk? The last Retrogaming Times mentions it, but I've never seen an actual disk. Violations? I feel violated everytime I plug this turkey in :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I referring to a "file" version. Probably made from the cart. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy California Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Does the disk version have all four levels? There's only one version of the game for the A8. C64 owners have an enhanced disk version but we're stuck with that horrible cartridge release. ++ RC ++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy California Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 To be more precise, SEGA may have released the game on disk but I highly doubt the programmers were asked to enhance anything... ++ RC ++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
