Mappy

[Flack]

Pick up all the stolen property and don't get touched by the cats. The cats can't harm you while you're in the air after bouncing on a trampoline, and can be knocked back by opening a door into them. If you hang around a level too long a blue coin shows up to hunt you down, Mappy's version of Joust's pterodactyl.

We did a lot of good work in this thread, chiefly garbage daying Mouse Trap. Flack is right - it does look like a Spectrum game.

I was gonna say Odyssey 2 but I'll leave it to the experts!

Here is something I like to call "Spectrum_Game.gif"



I guess it's the lack of white that does it for me.

I put the high score kit on Mappy tonight and suuuuuuuure enough it is saving high scores.

[Flack]

What is your Mappy high score? I have MAME on my laptop and a fun-filled evening planned in this hotel room.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

So far, my high score is 1,120.

Give... give me a chance to improve that, please.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Fast-forward!

Mappy is at the new house/doom house. And I can't raise the marquee because the ceiling isn't high enough.

It's 80 inches tall when raised, according to ggdb.com. But you need more than 80 inches because when you raise it, it's going from flat to up to forward.

My 3D relational skills are poor. I might be able to unscrew it and re-attach it in the proper position. I dunno.

It is time for Mappy to leave us!







Geez, those are terrible pictures. Lemme fix that. I am a photographer.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Those are terrible pictures, and I will remove them and re-take.

It won't boot, it has a "ROM 2" error - usually that just means that one of the pots for power isn't getting enough juice to a board. From KLOV and my own notes when I go to fix it tonight:

100 is -5
101 is +5
102 is +12

We're going to get this for Mappy-Land tomorrow.

The technician burned a new EEPROM after grabbing the code from MAME. I probably could have done that if I got my ROM burner working again. It was a socketed chip, too.
