karokoenig Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I played this game in the arcade and on the Commodore 64 back in the days, and recently obtained both the Master System and Mega Drive version. I always had a blast playing this, so I was very curious about how the 2600 handles it. Well, I'm impressed. This is a pretty good port. I have yet to find a system on which Klax is no fun :-). My score for now (wich not much room for improvement, I feel...): 35,235 The colour palette is a little devious, however. But I remember having a bit of difficulty telling tiles apart on the other versions, too. I'm getting old . Keyboard controls work very well, as expected.

S.BAZ Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 114,845 I hit some kind of Easter Egg or something: it was right when I finished a wave with a Big X. all spaces were filled with blocks. 2 reds stacked in the center column, then I dropped the piece to make the X, then piled 2 more reds on top of that while it was flashing. then instead of dropping & giving me my chain reaction klax, it flipped to the title screen with this unreadable stuff in place of the score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) didn't think I'd get this far -- My early goal was to reach 30 to 40k-- Thanks to Oyamafamily for posting his video early!

S.BAZ Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 So the Easter egg ended your game, like what happens with the Yars Revenge egg? yup! and from then on, no more high-score displayed, even if you play more times. you have to turn it off & back on again to make it normal again...
