t.skid Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 A friend of mine have got the two cartridges; he own a 800XL, and when he power up, the Atari enters in the Self Test. If I remember, these two games is compatible with the 800XL. So, what could be the problem? The two cartridges didn't work? My friend lives in another city, so I can't try the games on my XE.

+rdemming Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I've the Atari cartridge versions of "One-on-One" and "Into the Eagles Nest" and they work without problem on my 800XL (PAL) Are other carts playing on your friends 800XL? If you turn on the 800XL without any cart, does it boot up in Basic? If not, the 800XL might be broken. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.skid Posted March 21, 2002 Author Share Posted March 21, 2002 My friend told me that the 800XL works well, he got only problems with the two cartridges. Probably the games carts are broken. Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 The usual thing to try is to clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Also try not pushing the carts all the way down before turning on the Atari. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
