You are completely right about it being an issue with the programming. I tried playing it using Jzintv and an arcade stick, and I still had problems with unregistered movements. The later stages were still very difficult when trying to cross the road, just as you said. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

My god... How? [emoji26] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Congratulations on the flash cart! It looks like you DID give yourself a Christmas present. [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Christmas Carol - 515 Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I could use some help with Christmas Carol as well. I've actually played that game quite a lot, and the best I have ever done is probably the fifth or sixth screen. I think it is a terrific game, but I also find it VERY difficult. Any and all advice is welcome. I have been eager to see all of the cutscenes for a long time, and I have only ever seen a few.

What level are you guys playing on? (Out of curiosity.) Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Attempt #2. (12,380) Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I can't even imagine how it is possible that you never experienced a crash. I couldn't count how many times I did, both the black screen and the Pandemonium screen shaking one. I saw it on every console I own (except for one, just because I never tried that one) and on Nostalgia. You should play the lottery or something! [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Someone has to kick it off. Here you go. 8,900. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

What level for Frogger? (Did I miss it in the post?) Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

The LTO Flash is still in stock. Perhaps it is time for a Christmas present to yourself. [emoji39] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Three, and it was going up to four since I didn't die fighting Pandemonium. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

A fitting end to this round of the competition. Some of you will know why. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Still out shopping, but I was able to get one last game in before leaving. I was doing very well, definitely on my way to a record score. I needed to sacrifice a life to knock myself down. So, I moved into position to take a hit, then BANG BANG BANG, I lost three in a row. I mean, all at once. After that everything fell apart. Clearly it wasn't meant to be. So, congratulations Bamse! Very well deserved. [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

So, I took a quick shot at it in Nostalgia before leaving this morning. Just in case any of you were curious, the game still crashes in emulation. It is absolutely a bug in the game code. Also, I had never tried Nostalgia before. I'm actually quite impressed. It is so much easier to use than Jzintv, even with that frontend that was developed for it, and I felt like the emulation was quite accurate. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Holy cow! Amazing, incredible score. I think you have this in the bag, since I will be out Christmas shopping all day. [emoji39] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I've never had it happen with fewer than five lives, but it also only happens on the later levels. I don't think any of us have really figured out what causes it. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

That definitely is the case. I am at the point now where it crashes 100% of the time for me, unless I carefully manage my extra lives. Even then, it still crashes frequently. I guess "disheartened" is kind of how I feel, but part of it is that it takes a while to get to the point where the crash happens. After all that concentration and work, it is mentally very difficult to start over and try again, particularly when I know that there is a very good chance that the game will just crash again. I don't want to grow to dislike the game, because currently I still do like it despite my struggles. I hope that is a decent explanation. Now, that said, I am very curious to see what the next game is going to be. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It makes me not want to play, to be honest. I find it difficult to get back on the horse after having a terrific game where it crashes. All the effort just feels so futile. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Whatever it is, there is definitely some relation with the crash and getting kind of deep into the game. It never happens to me right at the beginning. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
