Bob Polaro's "lost" initials in 2 more games

[Scott Stilphen]

Perhaps the "code sleuths" can figure out how these 2 are triggered!

HAHA! I coined a new phrase! Code Sleuth will forever be etched in the landscape of retrogaming!

Another update...

 

Thomas Jentzsch figured out how the Sprintmaster egg is triggered:

 

The rules:

1. your car must be on the blue tar slick

2. you must have the speed item

3. the car must bounce back from the wall (BOUNCE mode)

4. it must be a single player game

5. the seconds must be between 0.0 and 4.0

6. you must play on dirt or ice

 

The easiest way to reach this, is on the first track. Set the rounds to 50 and start the a dirt game. Then drive near the speed item at the upper right. Now wait until the clock is at about 0:56, take the speed item and drive quickly to the blue stripes at the

upper left. No bounce against the upper border, so that the car bounces back over the stripes. When you do this correct, your car will turn into BP for a second or so.

 

Here's a picture:

I notice in the pic that it's the red car on the blue slick...

 

Can you get the same easter egg with the blue car? Or would the blue car trigger it on the red slick instead?

No, it must be the red car on the blue slick (collision detection).

 

Anyway, since it only works only in single player games and you always get the red car, the computer would have to behave quite weird, so I doubt that could ever occur

I'm a bit of a newbie here with this topic, but that's pretty interesting stuff! Didn't BP do 2600 Defender too? What else did he do? Doh! I just realized I could check out this info here at AtariAge's site.. be right back...
