Yes, For Ack Ack, Speedway and Retreat the cassettes indicate
200.2000R, and they all seem to load, but then after the title screen
they just end with a blank screen and the astrix prompt in monitor.
I'm not 100% sure if they have loaded successfully but I get no
errors, and I'm not sure if I'm missing a 'Go' address or something. I
can't see anything written on the cassettes about this. The only other
cassette I am having trouble with is Super Othello with 30.6000R. This
also seems to load, but again just ends up in monitor with a blank
screen.
