Hi there,

With my new Cobalt NDS, I bought Age of Empires and one day woke to find out that I could no longer get past the start-up screen. After touching the screen to dismiss the startup screen, it just goes black.

I took the game back to the dealer to replace it, but now the 2nd game has done the same thing, after playing with it for about 2 weeks. What are the chances!! All I can think that I did was put the NDS to sleep, and then charged it. Is this a no-no? Is it possible that my NDS is frying game cartridges? Thanks for any advice.

Ken

I honestly have no idea. (Wh00t for a cobalt NDS user though) Were you playing in really hot conditions? Another possibility is maybe the games were already defective when you first purchased them. Can you try any other games to see if it has the same ordeal like your Age of Empires game? If your other game doesn't go through that same process, then it's possible it had to do with the Age of Empires game itself. I don't think charging it while it's in sleep mode is a problem.

Well i guess something similar happened to me. I also bought Age of Empires for the DS and it was working fine for quite a while. Then one time i got like halfway through the first campaign lvl and all of a sudden it froze and looked like it got fried. I dont know if that helps, but im guessing that its the Age of Empires game, not your DS. :P

Thanks for all your replies. That sucks...How can they put out a game with a bug like that. I'll have to see if the dealer can refund it...

Thanks again.
