    Default Raiders of the Lost Ark for 2600

    Hey all. Picked up a copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark for 2600. Not sure what the deal is but when I try to play the game, its in black and white and you are unable to move at all.

    Ive also noticed that there is a "P" at the end of the side label.

    Pal?, broken? ..hmm

    Thanks

    Yes, the "P" on the end label means it's a PAL format game and will display in black in white on a US 2600.
    The game uses the second joystick port to move your character. The first joystick port controls your inventory.

    Well yeah, any game is easier if you cheat.
