| Summary | 01418: All games in vicdual.c and blockade.c: If you insert another credit while the game is in progress, your current game immediately ends. | ||||

| Additional Information |
This was confirmed as *correct* behavior a long time ago? -nt-. - Haze On page 2 of both Gremlin's Blockade and Hustle manuals has printed text that reads: If at any time the t.v. screen shows meaningless display or the game otherwise malfunctions, simply drop a coin into the coin mechanism. This should correct the problem. If not, the game requires service. The circuitry in [name of game here] has been arranged so that the insertion of a quarter thru the coin mechanism will reset the restart in the system. This clears up temporary problems caused by power line disturbances, static, etc. ----------- This text is also on Depthcharge [1977] and Head On manuals [1979] too. It isn't printed on Carnival [1980] manual, but it should be same hardware feature as earlier manuals describe. It isn't an arcade bug, but a manufacturer feature for Gremlin games although it might seem like a bug behavior. |
