Atari 7800 Commando - faulty cartridges or console?

[ricnight1977]

Hello,

I have two copies(purchased seperately) of Commando for my Atari 7800. Both copies display the same gameplay problem. The game plays perfectly until I get halfway through area 3. The bottom two thirds of the screen will then flash and shake uncontrolably, rendering the game frustrating to play. This problem is exactly the same with both copies I have. I know this isn't part of the game play, as I've watched run throughs on the internet. All my other 7800 cartridges play perfectly and display no problems at all. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Since all my other games play fine is it possible that I have two faulty copies of the same game?. Or has something broken within my console? Any help and advice would be gratefully received.

You don't say where you are. Maybe the cart is a diffrent region to your system?

Is the music OK?

I'm from England. The console is PAL as are both copies of Commando. Strange thing is that all my other games play perfect!

Music is fine. It's just the graphics going crazy...always on Area 3.
