So, years ago, I played Popeye (the Parker Bros. cart) on a friend's 2600.

All of his other games worked fine. But Popeye scrolled vertically (up to down) at a fairly slow but steady pace.

For you technical people: what would've gotten fried inside the cart for that to happen?
 
Heh - got to this response a little late. :D

No, I can confirm that he didn't have the PAL version...
How can you confirm that? The scrolling tells a different story. :) It wasn't uncommon for some PAL carts to wind up at US retail stores.
