the 5th ghost Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm super bummed too. I bought this repro here at the AtariAge store when it was first realeased, and didn't get around to playing it much other than a few quick games. Anyway, I just got the urge to play this one more seriously, and found it does not work. I feel like I never got a chance to really enjoy this game, especially since this was one of those games I loved to play back in the arcade. Has anyone else experienced problems with this one going dead on them? The sticker on the back mentions a 90 day warranty, but that has LONG expired. Any way I can replace it with a working one?

Bryan Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Can you try it in another 5200 to make sure the cartridge is dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If want you can send me your cart and I will burn a new rom for it. There is a newer version of Super Pacman from Landon Dyer with a couple of bug fixes. I will put the new version on it. PM me if you want me to do it. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Can you try it in another 5200 to make sure the cartridge is dead? The game fires up, but the title screen is jumbled and then freezes. Not sure if hooking up my 2 port would make a difference. **EDIT** Hooked up my 2 port anyway, same thing: scrambled title screen, then freezes.

+Cafeman Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've seen that many times with various carts. It happens to me when I try to use an Activision 5200 game and it isn't sitting in the cart hole *just right*. Did you try cleaning the cart's metal connector area, and trying to firmly pop it into the 5200 so it makes a good connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't thank him enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
