NES - Dirty Harry BUG?

In Games

Hey folks!

11 years ago, I picked up in my hometown rental store
the Dirty Harry game for NES. It's a really weird game
from mindscape, if I'm not wrong.

The question is - anyone here did get to the end?
Because, I played SEVERAL times. I made MAPS.
I studied every inch of the game.

I went far away into the game, and somewhere
(very near the end I think, due to the long time playing)
I entered in a room with the words "HA HA HA HA" painted in
a room wall and the game got frozen.

This EVER happened. All the times I tried.
All the times my friend tried too, in his NES.

The cart was official, original.
I can't sleep well for years since then!
I think it's time to get this NES ROM and solve this mistery!

Cospefogo.

You know, I don't think I ever had that happen to me. I conquered this when I was in high school I believe, so that was some time ago. The most vivid memory of this game I have is the entire Dirty Harry speech at the end. I'd definitely like to get back on this one at some point and try to do it again.

I have played through it. It's not really that difficult but the first level is confusing. I remember the end of it was through the sewers.
The other two stages are fairly linear. The final stage was this rocky outside part and when you got to the end of the game, you fought some big "Kingpin" type villain.

So yeah, it's conquerable. That leads to the good part...

I'm going to record that ending if I ever get around to playing it again. That was definitely the highlight of the game. About 30 seconds of crystal clear voice from the NES (and it sounds exactly like Clint Eastwood).
Awesiome!

Hey Z.E.N.

Do you remember of a room with "HA HA HA HA" inscriptions
in the wall?

Thanks,

I vaguely remember, but I think it was one of those rooms that leads nowhere, or to get Dirty Harry trapped. Most of the building on the first stage aren't necessary to go into, except for getting extra items and stuff.
I need to try playing that one again.
