Any one ever had this happen.

I was testing out my rebuilt trackball on my Missile Command. When I got about 4 screens into the game the next stage came up and I had no cities yet it let me play. Then it said Player 3 turn and after every stage it kept awarding me tons of cities and points. I even had bonus cities turned off so it came as a complete surprise.

Got it on video here

I wonder if it is a bug, or a board problem?


I am not sure at this point. I have put about 12 hours on the machine since Saturday when it occurred and didn't encounter it again.
 
That's a sh##load of Missile Commanding.

I guess it was a bug, or at least I would expect a hardware issue to be more persistent/present. You got a Brazington in it?

yeah, with the sprites, the player 3 thing, messed up scoring and bogus bonus cities... BAD BOARD. I'm not a tech... I only know because I've been there done that.

and just to clarify, in my experience, other than the sprites thing, the combination of a bad board with the braze is making it do all the other weird stuff. the braze kit is probably fine...

if you play without the braze installed, the board should play normally... but eventually the sprites will get worse and the board will just crap out...

just my experience... you asked, right? :p good luck!

Neat video!

However, Twin Galaxies will be displeased at how you've hacked that board to do that. Instant disqualification, my man. ;):D
