Re: A82: (and some SQRXZ stuff) + bug


interesting thing happened to me during italian class...  

i pressed "MODE" to go to options, (basically to pause), and let it sit
for 3 minutes or so, when i was copying notes down...

IT APDed on me.  i pressed ENTER, thinking it was a feature from the 85
(does it have that?) to conserve energy.  it came back fine, and i was
able to move the menu cursor.  i did "RESUME GAME" and there was a bunch
of gibberish on the screen.  nothing would move.  i pressed MODE again,
then CLEAR.  everything was fine, and it ran fine the next time.

i tried to duplicate the conditions (same spot, same length of time...
etc) but it wouldn't repeat.  i have rom 19, and the batteries were at
contrast 4.

just curious.
