Heavy Sixer Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 Right now, I've got Demon Attack running on the ol' H-6 across the room. I've got the last demon in a level dancing around in the middle row, giving me the respite needed to post this At this moment, I have 144855 points in game 3. I'm testing my Demon Attacks to see which ones end and which ones don't. I suspect this one doesn't, since I think I've completed the 80-some-odd levels required to end it, and the game is still going; therefore, it's one of the later cartridges. Well, back to game!

Tempest Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 I thought they all ended after wave 84. I've never had the patience to play that long. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Sixer Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 Originally, Demon Attack contained a bug which resulted in the black screen after wave 84. I've heard that Imagic corrected this, and later-manufactured carts play indefinitely. I'm sure I completed more than 84 levels (six different demons, two waves of each, for a total of twelve waves in each cycle, times seven cycles, equals the 84 levels, and I think I went through about 9 or ten cycles), and the game didn't end, so it looks like the bug was indeed corrected. I don't know which version is more common; I suspect the original is, since the black screen occurs in both picture and text label carts, plus I've never encountered a "fixed" cart before.

Parcel Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 I have Warlords in my 2600, Missile Command in my GBC, and Mario Bros in my GBA. Funny how I havent really played the regular Mario very much, mostly the original Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 The "bug" in the original version of Demon Attack isn't really a bug - it was intentionally programmed to end after a certain level. Fulop soon realized that the game was too easy for some people, so he went back and took out the "ending". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 I don't have any games in any 2600 systems at the moment, but I do have Grandia II in my Dreamcast, SSX in my PS2 and Zelda Majora's Mask in the N64. If I could find my Lynx, it probably has Chip's Challenge in it. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollopx Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 I keep my system boxed when not in use. Anyway, the control pads are f*cked anyway, so it would be unplayable. I can tell you that I'm pretty sure that Road Blasters is in my Lynx. I love this game. I think that Warbirds is in the other Lynx (dodgy buttons).

Malix Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 I just got my atari yesterday with 20 games. As of late last night I believe pitfall took the cake and stayed in the system. Donkey kong,Volleyball and asteroids got alot of playtime however. Funny I do not remember being so terrible at pitfall when I was six. -->Malix The Newbie King<-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 I had Dice Puzzle in my 2600 last night. All I can say is scary.... It sent chills down my spine. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGod Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Yeah, warlords is really cool... I dunno why I like it... Right now, I have Ice Hockey in there. (Go Activision!) It's sooo good 2 players.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
