OBJECTIVE 9 - Game Cartridge Vol 1

Completed by 5.73% of challenge participants

OBJECTIVE :

Find the first Gamegosling cartridge and beat the game.

HINTS:

Hints provided for Objective 9
  • Listen for the gameboy cartridge detector's proximity sound that activates when near buried treasure. It may be worth checking around the strange toys in the Tarnished Trove.
  • Giving things a little push never hurts.
  • Out of sight but not out of ear-shot
  • You think you fixed the QR code? Did you scan it and see where it leads?

PROCEDURE :

As per the hints – the game cartridge is found hiding in one of the weird toys scattered around Tarnished Trove.

Looking at the iframe code for script.js we can see a global constant defined as const ROM_FILENAME = "rom/game.gb"; This tells us that we can download the ROM file from https://gamegosling.com/vol1-uWn1t6xv4VKPZ6FN/rom/game.gb and load it up in any Gameboy emulator to be able to save and load states within the game making it a lot easier to complete.

After playing the game and carefully moving all the 7 blocks to their correct positions we get to see the completed QR code – which when scanned gives us a link to https://8bitelf.com/ which is a page that just contains our flag which we need to pass on to our objective to complete it:
