Snider-man Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Hey gang, I just got a message from Randy at Hozer Video. Seems that the bankswitching Parker Brothers used for Lord of the Rings is different from the bankswitching Atari normally used and he can't get it burned onto a cart. So, my challenge is this: has *anyone* gotten LOTR burned and working onto a 2600-compatible cart? Any one want to try it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker's bank-switching method is much more sophisticated than the standard Atari.

ubersaurus Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Probably didn't order, or alternately didn't yet recieve a cuttle cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
