I broke my old record & hit 3.8 million. Right after I rolled the score the 3rd time, the blue piece became gold (or whatever that 4th screen's color is.)

brojamfootball Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have been loving Towering Inferno on my FB2 modded with cart slot. Another couple sessions here and I believe I can actually beat the game! Funny thing though, it uses only the player 2 joystick for (what I think is) a one player game!?!? Anybody know how this works on a regular 2600 machine? I need to get out my real 2600 to check, but that's a real closet-diggin' chore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've been cleaning up the basement and hooking up some older systems. I played another 10 minutes of Bump and Jump for the Intellivision and 2 minutes of Night Stalker. I've never been a big fan of this game although I know some people really like it. It moves much too slow for me. I also tried to hook up my old NES but only got the flashing blue screen. Any advice on how to fix it?

I've been crediting emulation. It gets counted as if it's the system that's being emulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
