Hi folks!
Well, this is my story:
I bought a sealed factory copy of Dark Chambers for the Atari 2600, I received my package by mail, opened it, but the game didn´t work, some strange patterns appeared on the screen, stripes and that kind of thing that occur on the Ataris, so, after a lot of attempts, I gave up and stopped trying. I decided to buy another copy of the game, but only the cartridge, because I already had the box and manual brand new, then I browsed the Atari2600.com, found the cartridge and bought it. My game arrived today, and for my surprise when I inserted it on the console and turned it on, it didn´t work! I started to think of any problem with compatibility or something like this.
I am really confused because I have other cartridges, silver labels (like Jungle Hunt), Kung-Fu Master (Activision) , Frogger (Parker Bros.) and many others, all of them work, but Dark Chambers is not working, the two I bought and both have red labels (the only two I have with this label color), do you know if there was any improvement or change in the hardware or software that made these red label series not compatible with Atari clones? I have 2 Supergame VG-2800 from CCE (a brazilian manufacturer) and another clone of the Atari 2600 with the wooden detail in the front (from another brazilian manufacturer), I tested the two Dark Chambers cartridges on the three of them, and are not working, but my video-games are working with all my other cartridges. I wonder if I had the bad luck to buy two defective cartridges (I doubt it because Atari2600.com only sells tested products).
If you have any answer, please, give me a light, because I am in a Dark Chamber, literally!
