I think I discovered an easter egg in Frenzy for the CV

[ApolloBoy]

I don't know if anyone's discovered this yet, but I think I've found an easter egg in the Colecovision version of Frenzy. As I was playing the game, I was getting tired of using the standard controller and plugged in a Sega Genesis controller. It worked fine for a few seconds until I pushed the B button, at which point the screen went blank. But then it started playing a rendition of Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" (specifically the introduction piece) and it kept doing this (with the screen still blank) until I shut it off. And the odd thing is that I haven't found anything on this. So am I the first to discover this?

I know the economy is quickly going down the toilet and world war III is just around the corner, but no matter how hungry you get, don't eat the mushrooms growing in your backyard.

Maybe it is the pause-feature you you have activated.

On your original controller is * button for pause.

No maybe, that's exactly what happens in Frenzy when you pause the game. You are 100% right.

Ah, I had no idea there was even a pause feature in Frenzy. Thanks for letting me know.

I'm more impressed that you recognized Rite of Spring. I didn't think anyone on this baord was into classical music.

Except many people who are 'into' classical music wouldn't use the word 'into' and they wouldn't call The Rite of Spring classical music.

I only knew what piece it was because my wife told me, I wouldn't have known the title.

It's classical to me even though it was composed in the 20th century. Then again I consider Copland classical too.

How right you are!Especially if the feds have to keep bailing huge corporations out of bankruptcy like AIG,for $700 billion!
