Ms. Pac-Man on an XL/XE

[ApolloBoy]

So what's this I hear about Ms. Pac-Man having trouble on an XL or XE? I was browsing through the list of carts that were incompatible with the XL and XE and noticed Ms. Pac-Man on the list. Does it glitch up or something?

No idea.

 

I've only ever had one of the pirated versions, so if there were ever problems they were fixed in that one.

I play this game often and have never problems with this original Atari XL game cartridge.

I played this yesterday and had a problem with it locking up after a "game over" instead of going back to the menu screen

I have seen several formats for this game-- boot disk, exe file, and cartridge and they did not have that problem. But I have seen games have some problems like not booting properly or some other issue because of data corruption in being modified before/during transfer over the internet. I remember one that had some extra bytes appended to it and would not run until I truncated it to actual size.

 

Having said all that, I think the Atari 7800 Ms. PacMan is better than the Atari 800/XL/XE version.
