Osmeroid #1 Posted April 18, 2002 At last!!! I've got my grubby paws on a copy of Crackpots!!! What a great game, a real classic from Activision, sadly though, I suck at playing it - top score of 22K. Anyone else play this little beauty often? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joel D. Park #2 Posted April 18, 2002 Crack Pots is definately in my list of Play-Me games, I enjoy it quite a bit. I have't played it in a long time though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinabin #3 Posted April 18, 2002 Crack-pots? Activision? Whoah, I've never heard of it! Here I am trying to get all the Activision titles and that one slipped me by. Is it one of the later titles? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyXB #4 Posted April 18, 2002 I have only Boom Bang a german version of this game. But I don't like it. Sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here I am trying to get all the Activision titles and that one slipped me by. Is it one of the later titles? To the best of knowledge, it was never released in PAL format (although my very dodgy memory still insists that I saw it in a Beatties store back home and once in Walsall). I think it has the code AX-029, so around about the time of Robot Tank, Decathlon and Space Shuttle '83 or '84-ish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountain King #6 Posted April 18, 2002 This game took me a while to find for some reason. I didn't think it was that rare. It was the last game I found in the wild, the cool part is that the guy let me have it for free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jahfish #7 Posted April 18, 2002 right, there has been no PAL version of crackpot. on the other side, there has never been a Ntsc version of Fighter Pilot. anybody needs it? i have one for trade .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Walsall is NTSC anyway Hmm, I think I'm gonna have to mod a UK Atari (for NTSC colours) and buy a bunch of US games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osmeroid #10 Posted April 23, 2002 Just got 67, 000 a few minutes back. I think that I've finally cracked this game! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
