Hey dudes,
I just picked up an atari 800XL with tapedrive and some games.
So all excited as I was I hooked the thing up when I got home and tried to load Chucky Egg.
turn on the atari, press the START and OPTION key, inserted the tape and the thing started loading.....MAN WHAT A NOISE (but don't we just love it )
after 7:47 the tape stopt loading and I got stuck at the basic screen with the cursor in the top screen.
I pressed the BREAK key and all of a sudden my game booted!!
So I tried another game...
This time it was Bubble Trouble.
Inserted the tape, loaded like it should and after completing the loading....got stuck at the basic screen again.
BREAK key was pressed and the game booted.
What is going on here?
