In Topic: Haunted Adventure Trilogy

I checked the final Haunted Adventure Trilogy cart version out on many different systems as previously mentioned. Certain 7800's, including one that I owned that had a problematic timing chip because it was starting to fail, rolled the screen. Have you checked the game out on another Atari system or TV yet?

Haunted Adventure Trilogy game 5 is definitely winnable, as is the older Haunted Adventure II game 2. The old rom online for Haunted Adventure II was not properly synced so it will roll if burned to a cart and played on a real 2600.

As for the HAT cart version: I tested it on many different 2600/7800 variations before when I made the carts. Timing differences in some of the chips of different machines (I found some 7800's were less compatible than 2600's) made it difficult since some programming tricks squeezed out all the required cycles for the NTSC version. The Atari Age version should work fine on all 2600's.

Haunted Adventure is long and involved because I played Adventure too many times in my youth and always wanted to make my own adventure that was larger and had many more secrets.

Added information regarding the Flashback 2+ in the FAQ section and a link for Harmony Cart mod info in the MODS section.

The links to the manuals seem to be broken. Does anyone have any saved copies of these manuals? I just got a used flashback 2 and it did not come with the printed manual.


I have the original FB2 Instruction Manual booklet, not the online pdf. If you want, I could scan it for you. It'll be only 7 pages (not counting the technical credits and warranty pages.) It'll have to wait until I get home from work.
I've added links to the online manuals courtesy of the waybackmachine in the original FAQ posts:


Online Manuals (courtesy of waybackmachine)
Atari Flashback 2 Online Manual - this manual has more details than the retail instruction manual
Atari Flashback 2 PDF manual - warning - 1.7Mb at 110 pages

The online manual has resurfaced here in Australia:

http://www.catchofth...wnersManual.pdf

It is exactly the same file from waybackmachine above. I did not order this one having already obtained 2 from the US. I wonder if this is a PAL version or did they just release the NTSC version here.
DP has both the version 1 (text) and version 2 (original website graphics) online manuals in pdf format here.

I'd totally buy this if it were real:

http://www.thinkgeek...arousel_iCade_1
Well, now it's real in retail... iCADE - iPad Arcade Cabinet

I saw these at the local Future Shops in the Vancouver area with Atari Flashback games loaded on them (the Flashback game apps).

Too bad the i-CADE is only compatible with the iPad/iPad2...

(Included one shot of the iPad screen in the i-CADE - yes it is self-gratuitous shot! :D )

[EDIT] SORRY, missed the other thread - my bad... [/EDIT]
