Omega-TI Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Nostalgia, it makes you want to play some of the darnedest and simplest things. One game I expected to find for the 5200, but haven't is a Pong. You know, just a ME -vs- 5200, but bummer no luck. There are other games I expected not finding like the vector graphics games of Lunar Lander and Omega Race. Right now though I've become bleary eyed playing Thetris for the last 1/2 hour, so I'm off to the store for re-charge beverages! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re a candidate for that plug-in thingy which allows for 2600 gameplay. Another solution is getting a 7800 which plays 2600 games too.

smbaker Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Jeez, this 5200 is turning into a black hole for money... ... and time. I have no less than 5 custom made pcboards around here for various 5200-related projects, and I've only had the thing for a couple weeks.

0078265317 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The roms should not be hard to find. And load those into a atarimax sd cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Did Jum Pong 5200 ever get a computer player? Last time I played it there was still only 2 player option or maybe a cpu opponent that just went up and down and didn't follow the ball at all.

BassGuitari Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 One of the most common reasons the 5200 gets trashed is because it was initially packed with Super Breakout.....and now people want to play Pong on it. There's a meme for this somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzep Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It is kind of terrible that there is no Pong for the 5200. Or, better yet, a 5200 version of Video Olympics. The 4-port version of the 5200 would really welcome such a port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Not Pong, but in a similar vein. CastleCrisis_5200.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
