River Raid II question

[Red 5]

I finally got my hands on a River Raid 2. The problem is this...

When I load it on my 6 switch atari, the game comes on for about 3 seconds, then rolls, then goes blank. It works fine on my 4 switch 2600 and my 7800. My atari 6 switch works fine with every other cart. I have done the 'clean the cart.' thing and am wondering if this cart. is just buggy with the older system.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

Ah shucks! I thought this was going to be a question about game play tactics.

 

Mine works on all systems IIRC. It could be the cartridge position in the slot. My 6er is sometimes more tempermental about the "angle and/or depth of insertion" of the cartridge. Try wiggling it in all directions while turning it on several times.

 

Hope this helps!

I did the wiggle, the clean with alcohol and the hippy dippy shake (okay I made that last one up) but it doesn't seem to work. No big deal, as long as it works with the other systems. I just thought there might be a known bug.

 

Thanks for your help though.

I appreciate it.
