Bogey Manor freezes after service mode
#250070 - 03/27/11 04:58 PM


Hi all,
here an other my unuseful test :

- Enter in service mode
- Let the game runs all automatic tests
- At the input test screen, press Button 1 + Button 2 to exit

The game returns in demo/attract mode but after a while it freezes with the 'game over' text.

The game does freeze in the place you describe, provided I still have the Service Mode switch active. You do not even need to run through the entire Service Mode at all, in fact , simply toggle the mode after the game boots to title and it will freeze in the same place. My belief is that this is simply the desired design of the Service Mode in this game. In most games presumably, when you exit Service, the game will not operate until you unlatch that switch. Many games will display a screen with a simple "shut off service switch" or similar message. This game appears less subtle, reminding you with a frozen game that it will not operate/work properly until you deactivate that switch.
