I enjoy attempting to do insane things in games... and for years I've been trying to kill myself after the jewel jump / level change in Montezuma's Revenge. I've missed the sliders many times and landed on the conveyor belt, disappearing floor and even the floor below that... but today I... (it chokes me up to say it) gloriously landed on my head, dead on the conveyor belt. It was a beautiful sight. (...still brings tears to my eyes...)

But after the death, something funny happened: my new guy was dropped from the exact centre of the screen and landed on his head. This repeated until all 6 of my guys were dead.

Has anybody else ever done this?

If not, I DARE you to do it. ("double dog" dare... assuming two dogs will somehow make a difference)

Yes, that's it. (damn.. I thought I was the only one)

The weird thing is that I've landed on the floor and conveyor belt many times without touching the slider and I didn't die. This was the first time I died.

No, I didn't spend months trying to kill myself. I only played a couple times since our Montezuma competition.

I've mostly been killing myself (and being killed) in Halo and Warblade lately.

Anyway, it is really nice if you find it by yourself without previous knowledge that was feasible to do it.

Really hope those aren't pirated :twisted: Did you get permission from the original authors before making those?

What do you mean? These are originals.

Yeah, Halo runs fine on the 2600, but in online multiplayer sometimes there's a lag. That's why I prefer the 8-bit version.

Wait, what? There's an Atari 8 bit version of Halo to go with the 2600 version?
