In Topic: The official "Moon Cresta" thread

Wed Nov 16, 2011 3:19 PM

Moon Cresta was one of my favorite Space Invaders-style games. I would always play this one at the Dream machine arcade, as well as the "super" version I stumbled across in England.

So I would absolutely be interested in this one!


As for Crazy Climber- I would definitely recommend three options: 1 joystick, 2 joysticks without the RC (building a holder is easy, and RCs are a bit hard to find), and 2 joysticks with one. My own RC malfunctioned a while back, and playing the 2-joystick option that way would not have been possible until I was able to repair it.


I must stop by here more often. Money's been a serious problem lately, though.

I remember this game in the arcades.

This looks good- are you sure paddles cannot be used?

In Topic: I'm gonna give 7800 one more try

Some reasons to own a 7800:

Dig Dug

Robotron: 2084, although I somewhat prefer the 5200 version.

Xevious

Pole Position

JOUST!

Food Fight. Sure, it looks much like a 2600 Activision game, but it's really fun.

Asteroids

Ms. Pac-Man. Although the 5200 version is close and the CV version better, the 7800 version is good.

In Topic: ColecoVision Crisis!

First of all, much of my knowledge relates to the Atari 5200, oddly enough...

But I can't seem to find any actual schematics about the CPU chip- to test it, I need to know the logic gates of the Z80 CPU; anyone here know where to look? The ones for the CV Roller Controller were very clear, and so I was able to repair it (it was a gate that always stayed "on" instead of flickering when the roller was used).

My testing equipment is an ancient multitester and a weird red/green LED light tester built from wooden rods, nails, and old wire and LEDs from a 1970's broken VCR...

Thanks.

I never said I wasn't going to test anything, just if someone could narrow it down for me. It took me some time to trace the circuits in the 5200 before I was able to guess what the problem was (turned out I was right).

Thanks. I'll check the schematics for it, and try it out.
