Played with the PASTI from Atarimania.

This game is challenging, too bad sound is lackluster.

What does "Mode: TBD" mean?

[simonsunnyboy]

"to be defined"

This could be set to "only scores from begin of first stage und end of first continue" or "score from any continue"

I played with the latter but it is no large change. It should be clarified though.

Strange, when I go on with a continue, the score is reset to zero and also does not count up in the end.

Initially I wasnt really feeling the game, but after a while it grew on me!

I finally found some time to try this game, but now I can't get it to run.
Title screen looks fine, but then it looks broken and I get this error message.

So far I tried EmuTOS 1.1.1, TOS 1.04 and TOS 2.06
All with the same result. What else should I check?

edit: the Version vom Superior Menu Disk 147A, is playable, but it has infinite lives and after a while of playing I got that same error.

Maybe try the version from Klapauzius:

Didn't manage to make much more, 90000 or so but I didn't screenshot it as it is no improvement.

I would have liked the game as a kid. Sound is still poor even for ST standards
