Leaving my Roller Controller hooked up

[Ataritard]

I like to leave my roller controller hooked up to my Colecovision just for convenience. I never had a problem with using my controllers through the roller controller until the other day when I bought Defender. The first five shots I make uses all of my bombs like I am pushing both buttons. If I hook my controller straight up to the console it works fine.

 

Is this the only game that does this?

I am guessing it is an issue with the game. I have heard people say that you can't use controller extension cables with Defender.

That's very strange. I suppose it might have something to do with it being an Atarisoft game that uses two buttons.

Defender was also one of two games that would not work properly on a Stand-Alone ADAM Computer System, IIRC Super Cobra was the other one. Hmmm, both are horizontally scrolling shooters.

 

Someone actually patched the Defender game to work on the Stand-Alone ADAM and we used to include the patched version on Data Pack with the CIB Defender cart.

Is there a .dsk or rom image available of the ADAM compatible Defender?

I unfortunately, and might I add very stupidly, never saved a copy for myself and therefore never made a DDP Image of it. It's amazing to look back now after all these years and think of all the things I should have done and more importantly saved.

 

I also wish I would have made DDP or Disk Images of all the TeleGames releases of ColecoVision cart games made specifically for the ADAM Computer on DDP and Disk. I don't recall if all their ADAM software releases included the TeleGames logo boot screen, but I do recall a number of them did.
