HawkMines Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 What may help gain interest in this is if you described what's different with/posted pictures of the WILDLIFE! cartridge. I'd definitely play if I could get O2EM working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely play if I could get O2EM working properly. I agree with you there. I'm gonna have to get some Emulator running to do this.

timdu Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I will try to take some pictures of the special WILDLIFE! cartridge with the special label once I have it in hand. In the mean time, Klaus D. submitted a picture of his high score. 4766. He is in the lead. That is the score to beat... good luck, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamc Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Sheesh, I was proud of my score until I saw Klaus's. I only got 474. I think I can increase mine a lot, but topping 4766 is a tall order. The game must have lasted hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timdu Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 9274 was April Fools ! ! ! I don't understand - if this was an April Fool's joke, how did you achieve this high score. Did you use photoshop with the picture and alter the score digits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPB--- Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I don't understand - if this was an April Fool's joke, how did you achieve this high score. Did you use photoshop with the picture and alter the score digits? A sunday per month, I'm playing Videopac+, Odyssey2 games with friends. We always play on real hardware machine: Jopac, Odyssey2 & Odyssey3. I've downloaded the CHIEF CHEF file on my Mateos Multigame cartridge. I've plugged the Mateo cartridge into my Jopac without turn off the console and the score has appeared at 9274 ! I've took a pic ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 So here it appears Klaus D. and VPB have both admitted the truth: there is a "feature" where if you insert your CHIEF CHEF game cartridge into some models of various game systems, the game starts with a random high score. PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR VIDEOGAME SYSTEM OR GAME CARTRIDGE. So with these 2 individuals disqualified, that means that William C is now in the lead with a high score of 474. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMines Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 We are plagued by cheaters! Still would like to know what's different about this WILDLIFE! cartridge before participating though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 They didn't cheat. They discovered an "undocumented feature." The good thing is they came forward and were truthful. As for the game, it is the best selling Odyssey2 game that I have sold since 2012. All 100 cartridges sold quickly in 2014. More info about the game on the WILDLIFE! web site page: http://www.2600connection.com/features/wildlife/features_wildlife.html So as for the prize: the game cartridge that will be awarded to the high score winner on August 1, 2016 --- the label has not been designed yet. Once it is designed, I will post a picture. Other than a special label, everything else will be the same ... the same box and manual as the original release. thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMines Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Exploit is a better word for it. I will say that it is disappointing that the box and manual will be the same, with just the cartridge being different. For someone like myself would want a matching set.

timdu Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 You've given me an idea... maybe what I could do is make the the game cartridge label to be a similar style as CONQUEST OF THE WORLD: Gold background with the black artwork... Same for the manual and the box... It would be a one of a kind... What do you think? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 The idea for the gold label is not going to happen. It resembles the MASTER STRATEGY SERIES too closely... Instead... Rafael Cardoso has been kind enough to program a special version of WILDLIFE! with a different aquarium maze.The walls are green as well.Take a look... This will be the grand prize for the contest.More information and updates on the contest on the CHIEF CHEF web page:http://www.2600connection.com/features/chief_chef/features_chief_chef.htmlWilliamC is currently in the lead with a score of 474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timdu Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Unfortunately, I have decided to cancel the competition. I am sorry about this. The cartridge, a special version of WILDLIFE! with a different aquarium maze, was going to be the grand prize. The cartridge will not be made. Maybe another contest will be offered again in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
