Re: Reset The Computer and Poke..
I used to use the old paper clip trick on my C64.
I remember the one for Ghosts n' Goblins, it would destroy everything on screen when you pressed fire, it was POKE 4242,42 then SYS2128 to resart.

It later became Pig In a POKE.

You must be talking about the Trilogic Expert Cartridge. Trilogic had a shop about a mile down the road from me in the mid-late 80s. They're still going as well

Reset The Computer and Poke..
I struggled with the type-in cheats that featured in computer mags before I came across the easier pokes. You had to 'reset' your C64, enter the pokes then resume the games with a SYS**** address. I blew a fuse on my C64 as I tried to make my own reset switch using a paper clip. I eventually sent off for a proper Reset Switch for a fiver although I found that only about a half of the pokes actually worked.Tags: None
