Ok, I've been looking into this for a while and have found no info. What's the deal with the 1st release of Pesco and ebivision pac man? This is a screenshot from YouTube, but this happens on my actual system in both games 4 out of 5 times I switch on the power. I assume this is a programming bug and not system related, but I honestly have no idea. Pesco and pac man are missing half their bodies and seem stuck in the walls, along with the enemies.

Thank you @alex_79. Much appreciated!

It has begun. A package coming from two hours away from my house has been in limbo and hasn't even reached the shippers local distribution center in five days. Merry Christmas lol.

It truly all seems so ridiculous,...And these examples above? Even more so,...But just to play Devil's advocate for a sec. Somewhere amidst a malfunctioning bureaucracy, I think they're meant to be set up, to get out most packages quickly. It doesn't explain the outliers and mistakes, but I'm pretty sure they don't have an extra guy to spare when they need to deliver next door...

Anyone know what would cause a 2600 cart dust cover to not "push back" all the way? I have a copy of Return of MBwhere this is an issue, wont insert fully into the cart port because the dust cover doesnt retract fully. I know the game works because if I press down and keep my hand on the cart, the game starts. Seems like a chip or a component on the board is blocking it. I don't want to open it because the game is oop.

The springs seem fine, no harsh noise, scraping visible springs poking out or strange resistance, that's usually what I notice when those are going bad or dislodged in the cart during shipping which is why I'm confused lol. when I stick a screwdriver in the peg holes and push back the mechanism by hand, there's a point where it just won't go any further no matter how hard I push without risk of breaking anything. It's just really weird cuz it's a legitimate Atariage release with the same boards Al uses, and the cart seems to have never been opened. I got it second hand on ebay, Im certain that Al wouldn't send a game out to someone that doesn't insert into a system. At least i can play on the harmony. Was worth asking.

Goin down the fast way. Composed by Lee Jackson for the game "Rise of the Triad" by Tom Hall and Apogee software for MSDOS. Probably one of my favorite video game songs of all time.

My copy of Venture Reloaded is out for delivery today. Finally picked it up for my Birthday. That's aspergers for ya though. You can be super obsessed with something for a few months or even years and then put it in the back of your mind involuntary for quite a while. Got into retro computing for a bit, and played around on my old windows xp rig, but i can never forget the vcs.

Was able to get through floor 1 in my brief testing. I just have to say that Nathan Strum really hit it out of the park with the packaging, label and manual design. Can't really appreciate these things until you have em in your hands. Extremely well done. And the game itself is beyond praise, absolutely outstanding.
