Inky Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I FINALLY got to level 10 on Buckl rogers, and lo and behold, instead of saying "Level 10" it says "Level BC" (or 8C.. Hard to tell..) What is this? I was thinking hex code, but if that was the case, I'd think that on level 11 it would say something like LEVEL 8D Any ideas?

King Atari Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Inky, I can honestly say I have no idea what you're talking about. Of course, the highest I've been is level 3, but I'll go investigate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Yeah that's a known bug in the 2600 version, I have no idea what they were going for. 10 in hex is still 10 (10*16^0 actually). It's not present in the 8-bit version. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I always thought it was 8C, but BC would make a little more sense(?) Maybe Thomas can look at the code and see if it's a glitch or intentional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Maybe a missing SED instruction? That can have unpredictable effects if the program is expecting decimal numbers only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
