Bug in Deep Sea Adventure

Switch On the CreatiVision and press RESET during then "CREATIVISION" is displayed. You are in the normal SELECT Mode but look at the High-Score and you see the bug.

it looks like the Bug is in the Bios. If you press RESET during the Logo in MousePuzzle then the game is complete destroyed.

I dint think it can be described as a "bug".

From my memory, by pressing RESET you send an RST command to the CPU.

If you send RST *before* all game variables are set, obviously the game won't work properly. But this would happen in every computer, even in coin-ops.

for me is a bug. the cpu every time can handle the RST like it do in the game demo mode. And so can handle the reset different if the Bios is not finish to setup all stuff. is not about setup game variables, the CV hang in the bios BEFORE jump into the game.

OK i see

Does this happen on the real console only, or on emulators as well?

yes in emulator also, the bios jump wrong because not all vectors are set right. i begin to make a fixed bios but not finish. but is really not a important think because most people will NOT press before the demo mode is running :D
