I have a Wico Trak Ball and a Wico Keypad and unfortunately the Trak Ball will not work on 5200 games. I tried plugging the track ball into the keypad and had not luck. It would be great to use the Wico trak ball rather than the crappy Atari 5200 trak ball controller. Keith

Think it would be worse than Decathlon? Only reason I think it would be great on the 5200 is the double joystick scheme, just like the arcade version.

Voltman is the guy you want. He made me a Repo of Super Pac Man and a Paddle controller with the Pole Position button. He does really nice work!!!

I was thinking one day how great it would be to have a version of Crazy Climber for the 5200 using the joystick coupler. With all of you talented programmers out there I'm sure someone could make this dream become reality?? Right?? Just a thought. FYI- That White Wico joystick is mine, it's now on eBay. E-mail me with any questions. Keith [ 04-16-2002: Message edited by: Pac Head ]

That was easy, thanks to Leonard. What was the first 9 games Atari released for the 5200? [ 03-22-2002: Message edited by: Pac Head ]

There is not exact date on record however Atari released the VCS and nine games cartridges in October 1977. Can anyone name the first nine games released? Here's a hint: Combat came with the game system, that's #1. 8 more... keith (5200 fan) [ 03-22-2002: Message edited by: Pac Head ]

I'm surprised that Big Five Software didn't release the Bounty Bob games on the NES or Sega 8 bit?? One thing's for sure, they're tough!!

My kingdom for a perfect working digital controller for the 5200. A Masterplay Interface will do just fine, anyone have an extra sitting around??

I agree with Gunstar 7800 Galaga is tons of fun! Double shotters is the way to go! [ 03-19-2002: Message edited by: Pac Head ]

I was just wondering, is it possible to make a BBSB reproduction cart? There's just way to competition for the carts that pop up on eBay once in a blue moon. It would be sweet if everyone who wants to could have a chance to play this fantastic game. Later, Keith
