It plays the standard looping sound as if the ball was hitting all kinds of bricks as the score rolls. In my case, I missed the ball almost immediately after hitting a low brick, so the score and sound kept going for a few seconds prior to my next serve.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Putting up the XEGS and dragging out Junior and this game. It has been a while since I last participated in these challenges. My only issue is no internet, I'm at the mercy of my phone and my uploads to Atari I/O have been very restricted. But I'll give it a shot. TrekMD, Sabertooth, Justin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Everytime I upload something here, my allowed file size drops. My max is now 236kB, after this one it will be less than that. I'm not sure if it is because I'm on a phone or not. I have unlimited data.

Gotcha (I had not been following this thread) I downloaded just now and scanned locally on my PC with Defender and Malwarebytes as well submitted online analysis from Kaspersky and virus total which gets results from a variety of top antivirus and all clean. Not sure WHAT on your system is giving you that false positive but considering my results, no complaints from anyone else and well that Justin provided the link I would say it is definitely a false positive, whatever is giving you this result is merely too aggressive with what it considers a "virus" 🤷♂️ Gianna, Justin and Sabertooth 2 1 I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

I've had this same thing happen with Webroot. For me, it reports the whole website of atari.io as "dangerous" for "gaming downloads", but ONLY if I try to download a bin file. I think it just doesn't like the ".bin" extension. In any case, I can assure you there is no virus embedded here and if you'd like, I can PM you a Zip file that contains the super breakout rom.
