Xr8dPixel Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 ok i was fixing a 2600 6 switchers solder joints and decided to use a gorf(pal) pirate cart as the test cart switching it on and off resulted in getting pacman --- WTF is going here then, i thought for a split second my console had a built in game no deal. just a strange occurrence i wanted to share gorf on the right is the culprit anyway here is a video of it,be patient its long video and getting it to show pacman is a random event at the start is on pacman then to gorf then happens at 1.50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6M63eyMBf8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Not fake at all. HES single game carts with this label type always have two games build in. Starting up with a different difficulty switch position shows the other game. It's even mentioned in the Gorf manual: If you're lucky, other bonus games may also be played on your Atari 2600.

Xr8dPixel Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 what an odd cart... the cart is same as HES i was originaly just sizing it up against the original gorf and deemed it a cheap pirate(yeah was wrong there) i thought the carts menu system must be knackard, i threw the cart in the Jr and after a few on/offs got a square blue screen simlar to activision HES 5 in 1 menu then it freaked out squelled and i turned it back off anyways i will keep on with it big thanks Rom hunter for that info maybe there is more on the cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought HES was licenced to sell games? Or is that another company that I'm thinking off? So they give a hint in the manual that a second pirate game is on their pirate cart? Weird.

0078265317 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Weird never heard of this before. Do all gorf carts have 2 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Weird never heard of this before. Do all gorf carts have 2 games? AFAIK all Gorf carts from HES do. Still curious about the second game on their Star Warrior cart. Could very well be Frogger. Edited June 1, 2011 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Mega Funpak? Funky. The startup does not depend on the difficulty settings then? Thomas should examine this ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
