Subject: Re: The REAL Pause Bug
""Another idea would be for pressing the
pause-keys to cause you to lose a life. Then you wouldn't
have to reset the game if you got trapped!
;-)""
"That's not as daft as it sounds; I may have a hacking
session and see what I can come up with."
I don't
need to - by sheer coincidence I randomly loaded a
game last night to test something, and it was Maria
vs. Some Bastards. I started the game and pressed
pause. The game paused. I then press a pause key and
Maria lost a life!
Unless my copy of the game is
corrupt, MvSB has the pause-and-you-lose-a-life poke(s) in
place. Whether or not Vidar intended this or not, it's
very interesting!
