My mistake then, I just assumed the Gold version had added network play as opposed to the "regular" version.. guess I shoulda done abit more homework on that aspect..

Hi there, just throwing this out there to see if anyone here knows about or has a personal copy of their own for sale of the Jaguar Battlesphere game. I'm not looking for the Gold edition in particular, mostly just the plain 'ol single-player cart for sale. Thanks in advance!!

Just wanted to express my thanks again to all of you who've contributed What I eventually decided was to get the non-USB Multicart and for the games that weren't included that I really wanted (Adventure II, Castle Crisis, Fort Apocalypse, Gateway To Apshai & Meebzork), I'm just going to purchase them as individual carts. I've already bought both Fort Apocalypse & Gateway To Apshai off 8BitClassics.com. Unless I'm mistaken, from my research by going through the different links provided in some of the replies, I believe that the following games (that aren't included in the Multicart or that I haven't purchased as individual carts) do not have complete-game (e.g. not just a demo) ROMs available for download: Adventure II Boulder Dash Boulder Dash II Bristles Haunted House II Rent Wars

How about Gateway to Apshai? I didn't see it listed in the group of games you mentioned - is that ROM available or only in cartridge form (via AtariMax.com or GoodDealGames.com)? After doing a Google search I went to doperoms.com which looked promising and saw it listed under "Atari 8-bit" but not spefically for the Atari 5200. Does that mean it's only available as an Atari computer (800, XL, etc) and wouldn't be something I could use in conjunction w/ the Atari 5200 USB Multicart? Thanks again to everyone who's helping out with this and please forgive my ignorance, I'm slooowly getting a better picture..

Thanks for the quick response I'm hoping someone who owns either version can chime in as well

Hi there, hoping someone out there knowledgeable on the subject can help me with this so I can make an informed decision when I make a puchase I've been considering. I'm trying to figure out the true difference between the AtariMax Atari 5200 Multicart and the AtariMax Atari 5200 128 in 1 USB Multicart. I just got a used Atari 5200 but am not really computer-literate when it comes to downloading ROMs, emulators, etc. If I'm reading the descriptions correctly, the 5200 Multicart comes pre-loaded with all existing 5200 games (except Bounty Bob and M.U.L.E. ?) and it's more of a "plug and play" device, whereas the 128 in 1 USB Multicart is not pre-loaded and it requires you find and download the ROMs from other websites yourself? Is the following summation more or less correct?: Atari 5200 Multicart Pros: Comes pre-loaded with games, no downloading ROMs (i.e. actual games) neccessary, easy "Plug & Play"-format fer dummies (preferred by me) Cons: Cannot upgrade or add any potential new homebrew games that may happen to be released in the future Atari 5200 128 in 1 USB Multicart Pros: Any future ROM releases can be downloaded to the cart Cons: Does not come preloaded with ROMs/games, abit more difficult for someone not too "downloadable" literate (like myself..hehe..), user must locate and download actual ROMS (games) themselves Any explanations in "layman's terms" would help me very much and be much appreciated Very best regards, Kurt aka VermithraxDagon "Raining Down Fiery Death & Destruction Upon the Hapless Since 1967"
