It's great that these things have been fixed. I don't know about the other games but Yars' Return is definitely unplayable in the version I have- even if you ignore the flicker and double images the cannon goes right through the shield which completely invalidates any challenge the game was supposed to have. In any case, I am not a hacker or a hobbyist- I bought the FB2 to play games- 40 games- and I only got 39. I would assume that once the new revision is out I would be able to return my system under the "defects in workmanship" clause of the warranty and have it replaced? Yars' Return is unplayable for me as well. Lunar Lander and Caverns of Mars give me migraines due to all the unnecessary flicker. This had to happen sooner or later - I found that it's possible to dump the games from the FB2. Yes, I have Caverns of Mars on my hard drive right now that I extracted from my FB2 due to a fancy utility I wrote coupled with some hardware hacking (it had to happen sooner or later...!) To my utter amazement, it is a 16k game! Also, it's much less annoying to play on an emulator. I intend to go into the code and see if I can remove that annoying flicker. It's not that bad of a game, really... but that flicker is beyond annoying on a TV. Or is this one of the games that is going to be fixed? (And no, I don't think it's a good idea to post the binaries of these new games... I don't need Atari's lawyers calling me... but it's probably legal for me to tell others how to extract the games themselves...) 951689[/snapback] 951982[/snapback]
