  1. Hi Guys I had the cartridge returned back to me, and it works absolutely fine on the Atari 7800. As far as I know, he has a PAL system, and states that all his other games to work, which I have to accept as I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve him. At this moment in time, this is the only problem game I have seen, and I do recall from previous threads that certain activision games are problematic, but I wanted to see if there was any way around it! The KUNG-FU MASTER game, comes in the black box with a WHITE LABEL. If it works on my 7800 (and I am based in the UK) that would make me think the game IS PAL! Is there anything else I can do or ask the customer to check on the Atari Hardware that might point towards the game not being compatible with his system? Failing that, I am going to get a replacement out .... and if that does not work a refund But you know how it is ..... its nice to know WHY this happens! Simon
  2. Hi Guys I recently sold Kung-Fu Master for the Atari 2600 to a guy in the UK. Teh game was new / unopened! I am now being told that the guy has tested the game and its not working. I got the game returned to me, and tested on an Atari 7800 and it worked fine! In fact it was great fun to play Trouble is, I dont have a 2600, and I am being told that there are certain 2600's the game will not work on ..... could anyone clarify this or me! Its the WHITE LABEL CART VERSION, comes in a BLACK BOX with Kung-Fu master on it, with a guy kicking a baddie Any help is welcome here as I am a little puzzled Sonic
  3. They are boxed up at the moment, while I am relocating! So I will try to remember when I unpack! Anyhow ..... just to give you all an update, I have now played the XL-IT version of Montezuma's Revenge that came with Montezuma's Return, and sadly, the same thing is happening as per the original ROM for the Atari 800 - Still no proper ending, Still the stomping MOnty and STILL no actual ending to the game! I am still ending up in a small room with 2 skulls in the wall (which makes me feel that this is just a level not completed). So...... a real shame in deed! I do have another disk version of Monty which I am going to try to get out in a few weeks time.... but it is such a shame! Simon
  4. No only parker brothers. So do you know if your disk version has the "Montezuma" in the room stomping his foot? Also, I noticed your Lucasfilm Disks - I have them in the box sets! I kept them because I loved the packaging. I have all 4 Lucasfilm Games Simon
  5. Hi No sorry, you may have misunderstood me..... The 5200 was a "complete" game, but the ending is where you go down a pit and collect diamonds and swing from rope to rope and then eventually onto the next level. the 800 version featured Montezuma ... but the ending of the game does not appear to be complete.... although I have a revised ROM of the game but I am having trouble playing the game using the keyboard! So I will keep the list informed about what I find
  6. Unfortunately I am running XP, and even when using compatability mode, it still suffers! But I will find a machine that has Win98 and see if I Can run it from DOS! I will have another bash tonight! To be honest, I am not happy about the 5200 version and still prefer the Rob and Mark version! And to date, Rob has still not contacted me! I did find a Polish Site and I translated it, and it does sound like the game was and will always remain unfinished! But I am not that good at translating! Simon
  7. Hello everyone Ok I received the "Montezumas Return CD" and inserted into the PC! After install, I went straight to Montezuma's Revenge and ran into a few problems! First, I am running XP Pro and it seem the emulator is not fully happy about this, so I set to Win98 compatability! Second the XL-it does not seem to see joysticks! I cannot find a way to make the joystick work! There is a snag using the keyboard in that there appears to be almost a 1 second delay. So just when you think you are about to jump over a spider or skeleton head, you end up dieing, because the emulator has not had time to react to my input. I got so far using the Keyboard and then gave up, trying to search for a way to use a Microsoft Joystick. So if anyone knows!! Kr0tki - I hate the 5200 version! Its the same as the commodore version in that you get to the end of the levels and you are swinging from jewels to jewels. But as luck would have it, I have now got the DATABYTE version of Montezumas Revenge .... boxed and brand new! So when I get time I will try this version and see what happens! If the statement you make is correct, then more fool Rob for having an excellent game and then NOT finishing it!! I am going to try to make the Joystick work now.... any ideas is welcome! Simon
  8. Do you have a photo picture of the actual cover front and back that the disk came in? Si
  9. Mike Many thanks!! I have now written to Rob this evening (UK Time) and will pray he can help! My copy of Montezuma's Return is due to arrive on Monday and will eagerly boot up the MR version on this CD! GEOSTEVE - Any chance I could have a picture of the DISK VERSION COVER? Hope this is not too much of a problem, but it would really, really help me ! Simon
  10. I have come across something odd on Cartridge - It appears to be some sort of "Bezerc Developer Cartridge". Got instructions with the Cartridge, but I have not tested this just yet! Very curious about this item. Any comments? Simon
  11. Does anyone know of a site that has a list of rare games for the 400 / 800 / XL / XE Thanks, Simon
  12. Classic There are a few, but there is only 1 with Montezuma stomping his feet! I have just ordered "Montezumas Return" and should get this in the next few days (Only reason for getting it is to play Montezuma's Revenge). I will keep you posted. In the meantime, if anyone knows how to contact the original programmers of this game for the 800 version (Robert Jaeger who also ran Utopia) I would really like to hear from you. Finally, may I take this chance to wish you a Happy New Year Simon
  13. If it is free, could I have it? Otherwise I am going to have to buy the game. I am sure I have played this PC version, and thought I ran into a different issue..... but I really cannot be so sure at this stage. But if anyone knows how to get a free copy, please let me know Simon
  14. Hi again NE146; The 5200 IS different! The Atari 800 / XL version by Utopia is completely different to this, the Commodore and 2600. In my own opinion, and having played the games, I have seen the 800 version being completely different to the others. bryede - THANK YOU FOR THE MAP!!!! OK so as it shows everyone, the room with the 2 skulls is the last room I am in. And I forgot to mention if you try to climb your way back up, 5 screen or so, you constantly die! Its as if you cannot go anywhere else! krupkaj - Glad its not just me - But I have even tried to contact UtopiaTechnologies (formally Utopia) but it appears they have either gone bust, or someone else has now got ownership to their Domain Name Heaven/TQA - Yes I am aware of this site, and the 2 versions are the Utopia and the "Steve & Bruce" version.... in other words an incomplete version of the game, and it also has the same ending as the other versions of Monty .... getting to the end level and jumping down and down collecting jewels and swining from rope to rope..... only to find youself at the same level but a higher difficulty It is unclear whether the Utopia version was finished, and what those 2 skulls in the wall mean!! Was the game not complete? It would seem such a waste not to complete a game that LOOKS complete! Simon
  15. Hello everyone My very first post! Fantastic Site I have been into Atari at the age of 12, and one of my Dad's friends introduced me to Montezumas Revenge on the Atari 800! Bad Mistake! In under 2 days I completed the game..... sort of!! After going through every level, collecting every item, and getting to see a "Mummy" stomping his feet with 2 doors next to his head at each side, I could not work out how to complete the game! In fact I ended up back tracking all the way through the game, and the end result was being in a room with 2 skulls in the wall. Flashing! The game was made by Utopia, and still feel that was one of the best platform games I was ever introduced to! Last week, I got my Atari back out, and found Montezuma's Revenge! it took me about an hour and I got to the exact same point.... The Mummy (Or as I now feel is Montezuma) stomping his foot! And yet I am still unable to complete the game! I wonder if anyone else has seen this or actually knows how to complete it! I have been working on an actual map this week of all the levels, and did you know the outer shape actually makes a Pyramid ? I have tried contacting Utopia to no avail! I even found an Emulator version of the game, and to my surprise, the same thing happens.... same guy, stomping, same doors and even when the doors are opened, he does nothing but stomp! I am very interested to hear peoples comments on this game, and I hope to hear from many other fans who hold this game close to their heart! If it helps, the 8-bit version is COMPLETELY different to the 5200 and 2600, as well as the Coleco and C64 - I have these and none are the same as the Utopia version! Thanks, Simon
