Welcome to the Colecovision Family Gamester81

Recommended Posts

I received my cart today and the opening screen comes up and it speaks and then hangs forever. Is there something I have to do to get the game started, or did I receive a dud cart?

Pressing the fire button once should bring you to the author screen and then to the skill selection screen.

I must have a bad cart, as I pressed every button several times in desperation. Tried it on multiple Colecovision units.

 

Or may be a bad joystick? did you use the same joystick on all units?

Different units with different joysticks. All other games are working fine. Played Mecha-8 this morning which is excellent. They are doing an exchange for me. Michael

False Alarm. It was the Super Game Module interfering with the operation of the game. Once I unplugged the device, it booted up like a dream.

 

Interresting.... :? Do you have another of my games like Battle of Hoth or Smurf Challenge? ... do you have the same behavior?

The Super game Module also interfers with bomb & blast. Messes up the graphics so you can't see how to fit anything together. Removal quickly fixes it. Yeah you can't always leave it plugged in except when you need it.

Battle of Hoth worked fine the other day when I had the module plugged in.

Not surprising, since I usually beta-test the Team Pixelboy games with the SGM plugged in. :)

I'm glad you got the game to work. I too noticed that the game wouldn't work with the SGM.

Yeah, it has problems with a few others as well... No biggy... Just remove the SGM prior to play..

It is very Strange that GameSter81 does not work with SGM , i do nothing "special" in that game. the only think would be the scrolling effect but it uses the same routine than the one in Battle of Hoth. Battle of Hoth include also digital sample as GS81...

 

Does somebody tested GameSter81 on a ADAM ? and Bomb'n Blast ?

 

Does somebody would have a list of game that does not work properly with the SGM plugged?

I played it on the Adam Exp. Mod 3 but not the standalone. It played fine for me all night with exception to the fact that I kept getting killed ... I have Bomb N Blast as well, will try it out.
