    Default Hidden Colecovision Easter Egg Found?????

    It's been awhile since I've last posted here.... but when this happened I thought...I have to post this on DP!

    So I'm in the middle of testing a new colecovision system I picked up. I used Time Pilot cause it allows for 360 deg control testing. Anyway, I'm using the action controllers rotating the joystick and pressing several buttons. All of a sudden the screen goes black and a melody starts playing. I'm unable to get out of this screen. It just repeats the same little melody.

    Is this some well known pause screen??? Or a known colecovision function?

    I luckily was recording this testing session (to show my customers that the item works etc) . I'll post it on YouTube is it's truly something new.

    The signals sent by the action controllers amount to different simultaneous keypad button combinations, don't they?

    It's likely the pause music.

    Try pressing *

    Maybe it's just a bug or glitch. My CV locks up all the time.
    If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!

    This is exciting, though. I can't wait to see the conclusion!

    Doing a quick YouTube search, I found this video. Is this the special melody?
