It is slightly different then the BIN file located in the Hacks section. It has a few changes to go more with the movie story line. I also had a couple of Crystal Cart versions made special on the side. I have not yet decided what to do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Death Race arrived at my door a few minutes ago. Looks like I'll be watching the movie and playing the game tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I got my Death Race package today And I hate to be the one to bring this up, but I think there is a small problem with the game. When playing, the screen will all of a sudden roll one time and come back to normal. Some tv's might be able to synch up to it and not roll, but both my tv's do it a couple times per game. One tv rolls a little bit faster than the other when it does happen. It is a great game though and still totally playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 MY DEATH RACE 2000 IS HERE!!!!!!!!!! First off I would like to say the label looks great, Nice job neotokeo2001 and with the DVD included in the package for that very low price, it was one of the best Atari deals ever. If you and your guys come up with another movie tie in type of 2600 game, you can count me in for a sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holygrailvideogames.com Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 My copy arrived today. The game is excellent, but I too am getting a screen roll every now and then. The bigger problem that I had is that at times I have what looks like "double vision". I will have two cars at the bottom of the screen and then I seem to die almost immediately. It happened twice in about 30 minutes of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 I'll make sure that everyone gets a playable cartridge as soon as we can figure out what is causing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 It seems to work fine on some TV's and not others. Still looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 It seems to work fine on some TV's and not others. Still looking into it. From what I have read about programming it seems like it is sending either too few or too many scanlines at certain times, causing it to roll. Doesn't z26 have a scanline output so you can see if it changes at all? And if this is wrong, please correct me, I am a noob to all this programming stuff.

Out_of_Gas Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I tried it on my old 1984 25 inch heavy HEAVY tv, my sis gave me. Played it through my "Jr.". Worked ok. But my SOlid state 13 inch tv, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you do more "stuff" in one frame than in another frame, and if you accidently do too much in 1 frame, the screen would probably screw up and do something like roll. I'm a n00b too, but this is just the impression I've gotten over the past month. -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I tried my game and it also rolled. On the bright side the movie was better than I remembered it and Frankenstein's navigator had one hell of a body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
