T2KFREEKER Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Okay, so I got Qix, awesome. One problem, the Atari copyright screen comes up and then the fuji goes from rainbow to brown and fragments. What in the Hell is wrong with the cart. I cleaned the contacts to the point that they shine and still no go. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 You could have a bad cart. Most of the bad one's I've got die on the title screen like that, but it could be something else. Does your 5200 work with other games? If so, it's probably a bad Qix cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have to track down another Qix now though. At least Star Trek worked out though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both and with the 5200 version, there's no reason to play the computer cart. ... wonder why this was never done on the 2600. It should be able to handle it. Could it? Then again, I wonder what a 7800 version could be like - maybe have some nice fill-ins like the Lynx, rather than just blank colors. As it stands, 5200 Qix is probably the best for an Atari console. The Lynx is a bit messed up with the stix being too big. Edited August 23, 2007 by Brian R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I don't have a spare. I checked, no dice! It is worth getting though. Good port of a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
