the 5th ghost

Star Ship and Joust are still for sale.

I remember that one, I had it on my hit list, but forgot to bid. Glad it went to another person that appreciates it. I was already aware of both versions though. The pack-in logo is the main difference.

The product # on my Sears 4 switch box is 49-75006, which are all stickers. Pitbull's says 49-75005. My boxed Sears light sixer has 49-75001

Hey Pitbull... Your boxed Sears 4 switcher, does it show regular paddles on the box? Mine actually shows Driving controllers!

Encounter at L-5, Warplock, Sssnake, Airlock and Bugs are the only Data Age games that come in black or white. If I were to guess, I'd say the white title boxes came first.

So on Difficulty A, the boxers move slower, right? My fastest KO on Dif. B is 18 seconds (1:42 left) If I remember right, the computer got one shot in. I would estimate, that the absolute perfect score would be a KO at 1:45.

Yep, the cart is bad. But Allan is coming through for me. Can't thank him enough!

I assume you mean the Sears Checkers? I told you, if I find one, it's yours. (unless you swap your Music Machine box for CPUWIZ's)

The game fires up, but the title screen is jumbled and then freezes. Not sure if hooking up my 2 port would make a difference. **EDIT** Hooked up my 2 port anyway, same thing: scrambled title screen, then freezes.

I'm super bummed too. I bought this repro here at the AtariAge store when it was first realeased, and didn't get around to playing it much other than a few quick games. Anyway, I just got the urge to play this one more seriously, and found it does not work. I feel like I never got a chance to really enjoy this game, especially since this was one of those games I loved to play back in the arcade. Has anyone else experienced problems with this one going dead on them? The sticker on the back mentions a 90 day warranty, but that has LONG expired. Any way I can replace it with a working one?

Still for sale!

Hey ninermaniac, Is there a way to make the controller an all-in-one, similar to the Sears VAII controller, where the sticks doubles as a twistable paddle? (for Super Breakout, Kaboom, etc.) It would be awesome if you could take your current design, turn the controller 90 degrees clockwise in your hand, and then use the stick as a paddle!

Great job! I with I had the talent ot build something like that. They look to be built like tanks..is that the case? I'm just wondering about the durability of these. I am in awe

Very cool guy to deal with, and extremely helpful too!

This was a very cool pick-up for somebody! Look_at_the_powersupply

Try moving the joystick. That usually resets the color of the screen when it goes into screensaver mode.

Ze_ro, double check Hornpipe2's score

Try this... On screen two, jump the two rolling logs so you land on top of the ladder. Before you fall, quickly push down then forward and you'll bounce right out! Keep going and you'll reach that vine. You'll have to do a similar move on screen #5 with the three rolling logs...jump the wide pit, jump into the ladder, quickly bounce out and get ready to imediately jump the log that will be coming toward you as you bounce out of the ladder. Good luck!

I haven't given up on eventually getting it, I did however play all the way up until there was less than 10 minutes left before the deadline. At that point I had to give up because if I had reached perfection immediately after the deadline... I'll go back to it in a week or two. Oh that's right...the deadline. In any event, let us know when you get that perfect score. You and a few others here came really close! This is a very hard game to max without losing a point. And just think, David Crane initially designed the game to have just one life! Oh, and finishing the game with more than 1 minute left on the clock is also an accomplishment. At one time, Todd's 1:01 was the world record, and was the only completion time with over a minute remaining that had been submitted. To match my time, you just need to figure out when you have to push it, in order to reach a vine, or clear the quicksand. If you miss a vine you were supposed to get...that's at least 4 seconds lost. You also have to memorize the fastest route. I know two different routes that can yield sub-19 minute completion times, but one will get you 1:42 if done right, the other 1:18 if done right. Another hint is that I reach the first gold bar (screen 7) at the 19:28 mark. You have to move non-stop to do that. In fact you shouldn't stop till two screens after the money bag, (2nd treasure,) which I reach at the 17:59 mark.

You're so close! Don't give up!

Congrats!!!!! 114,000 is quite an acomplishment, excellent job

And just for fun... Perfect game, no lives lost, 1:42 time remaining. But since there is no stipulation against losing lives, my 114,000 with 1:46 remaining will be my submitted score for this week. Now I'm done!

Got the perfect score again, but a faster time 114,000 time remaining: 1:46
