Coleco Gemini difficulty switches

[Charlie_]

Perhaps this is common knowledge? Seems the difficulty switches on the Coleco Gemini are marked incorrectly?

 

From the Space Invaders manual:

"The difficulty switches control the size of the laser cannons on the screen. In the B position, the cannon is smaller, and therefore easier for the beginning player to use. In the A position, the cannon is twice as large, and therefore more susceptible to enemy fire. In a one-player game, use the left difficulty switch to control."

 

Clearly on the Gemini the opposite is true. I have it set to A but the ship is small. B makes it large.

I don't know if it's "common knowledge," exactly, but it is known.

Thanks for the reply. I've owned a few Gemini over the years and never noticed until this week.

 

I'd love to get my hands on the adapter for the Gemini paddles. No luck though..
