MattyXB Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 Great news. I hope it will soon work on Emulator. Can't wait to play it. THX for this before Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 The Link on this site is wrong. But when we delete the _CGE, it work. Must now try the ROM. Wow great game. Work now fine. And its not so hard to shot the light off. You must only in the lift and drive up and down, till you aim the light. But after a time the light will go on. And on the stairs you walk backwards. You must only press down when you on the stairs with the back. THX again. Matthias [ 08-18-2001: Message edited by: MattyXB ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 Thanks for the ROM, guys. I just tried it with the Cuttle cart and it works great. Still can't get the elevator to come on floor nine though. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschell Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 It's not the only 8K superchip game, Stargate/ Defender 2 is also 8K and uses the Superchip. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woops, that's what we get for putting that news up and then heading out to lunch. This was actually a bug that I'm glad was discovered as it affected some other games as well (just that no one had noticed it yet. ) It's now fixed so all the various and sundry ROM links should work properly. It was working properly on the Rarity Page, which explains why some people were able to download it without munging the filename. ..Al [ 08-18-2001: Message edited by: Albert ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 I just reread the article about the discovery of the EA proto. I had no idea he paid $2000 for the proto. In retrospect, I think he handled the situation well... release it for sale in a limited quantity first to recoup your investmen (the cart looked professionally done, so as to make collectors want it) then, release it to the larger gaming community. Shrewd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 19, 2001 Author Share Posted August 19, 2001 That story was made up by John Hardie to prove a point about rom dumping. In truth I think he met Dan Hitchen at a get together of some ex-Atari employees and he gave him the rom. The plane story was made up.

mos6507 Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 Turns out that Elevator Action is an 8K superchip game (I think that makes it the only 8K superchip game, maybe the first ever superchip game Atari designed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 19, 2001 Author Share Posted August 19, 2001 Is that because it requires the SARA RAM chip? I thought all games that needed that were 16K. Of course I have a Motorodeo prototype that doesn't use the SARA chip and it's 16K so who knows. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
