jblenkle Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Anyone else have a problem with this game locking up every so often? It's done it on and off previous times we've played it here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 The famous CV lockup on this game too eh. I didn't know that. Let's see how it goes next day or so. If it's too bad, I'll post another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 It happens, at least to me, infrequently. I can play long stretches without it happening and then get a lockup. Seems to always happen on the Bonus screen. Otherwise I love this game. The famous CV lockup on this game too eh. I didn't know that. Let's see how it goes next day or so.

DuggerVideoGames Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Beamrider [skill 1]: 32,094 pts. Grateful for the instructions. I started getting much higher scores once I realized I was supposed to pick up the yellow things, not shoot them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Ha, ha...first few times I played this game, I did the same thing!!! I thought you got extra points for shooting the yellow targets. didn't know they were extra ships. Beamrider [skill 1]: 32,094 pts. Grateful for the instructions.

jblenkle Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) 56,410 Grrrrr....no screen shot...game locked up on me on the BONUS screen and it didn't show my score and I still had 9 ships left. I'm wondering if the lockup only occurs on my ADAM. I played yesterday via emulation with no problems. I'm going to switch to my ColecoVision for future plays.

jblenkle Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Switched to ColecoVision instead of ADAM... 64,010 - Beamrider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think I've narrowed down the problem I've had with this game locking up on me on occasion. It seems to only happen on my f18a enabled ADAM when the game is loaded from the AtariMax Ultimate SD cartridge. It works fine on my non-modded ADAM and my ColecoVision with the Ultimate SD cart. It also works fine on my f18a ADAM when loaded from my disk drive and the Utlimate SD cart is not plugged in. So it appears there is some kind of conflict between the f18a and Ultimate SD cart...at least for this game. I haven't had any other lockup problems with other games.
