_Fandal_ Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi all! Here is the way how to trigger easter egg in Joust: power console on and press select, then press 53x (!!!) joystick 1 down and then press 41x joystick 1 left and wait for hidden credits... F.

HammR25 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) That's pretty cool. Worked on my CC2. Is this still worth $25? Edited July 13, 2010 by HammR25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 That's fantastic. Nice. The same guy who did this Joust did the 5200 Joust. I wonder if he put an easter egg in that version as well? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Propane13 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Finally! I have been waiting for this for many years (like since 2003). Here's the disassembled graphics: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153175-showing-the-graphics-of-some-games/ Want a new challenge? Atarian magazine claimed that there's a super secret code for ikari warriors that allows you to "warp levels". Oddly, there's only one level, and I'm not really sure if the article was accurate. It's been on my mind for ages, as one of the last great mysteries of the 7800. Any interest? -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 It's been on my mind for ages, as one of the last great mysteries of the 7800. the code is on a shelf beside unreleased copies of ELECTROCOP and GAUNTLET for the 7800 ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 So you mean that Digital Press page people can't figure out secrets these days? Don't you just fire up something and view the code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Don't you just fire up something and view the code? Have you ever tried to read somebody else's code, especially code that has been generated by a disassembler? If you had, you'd know that there's nothing simple about it.

Cebus Capucinis Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Don't you just fire up something and view the code? Have you ever tried to read somebody else's code, especially code that has been generated by a disassembler? If you had, you'd know that there's nothing simple about it. What's there to know? You just have to be able to count to 1, counting 0 as a digit. How hard can that be? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 One thing I noticed after I triggered the easter egg in Joust, if I started a game there was a long string of letters at the bottom of the screen. I'm not sure what it meant as I couldn't detect a pattern to the letters. Regarding the possible Ikari Warriors easter egg; I've always wondered if it was a mistake in the magazine and they meant Commando instead. The level select seems like it would fit better for Commando than Ikari Warriors. Plus there's already a known easter egg for Commando. I wonder if it's part of a trigger for another one?

Back then, for each tip, you were supposed to receive a free game. Atari Corp. got mad at the editorial staff over something they wrote in Atari Explorer and they fired all of them and cancelled both publications and thus most of us got stiffed. I brought it up at one of the shareholders meetings and Gary Tramiel gave me "Dirty Larry" for the Lynx to make up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hi all! Here is the way how to trigger easter egg in Joust: power console on and press select, then press 53x (!!!) joystick 1 down and then press 41x joystick 1 left and wait for hidden credits... F. I've never been one to sit and figure out easter eggs, so I have to know, how did you figure it out? Is it somewhere in the code? I don't see how anyone would just happen to stumble upon that easter egg by chance, but again, I don't know much about the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
