I tried this and it worked.

Have you tried game 7? According to the manual, the "Ghosts crawl especially slow for young children."

Thanks, RB5200, you're quite right. (Been playing this game since having a disk for it for my Atari 65XE in the 80's. But just copied the standard intro post without thinking it through last night.) Let's go with speed 3.

Welcome to the first round of the 18th 5200 HSC season. Jumpman Junior won the poll by one vote. Play using the default setting. CORRECTION: There is no default setting, so use speed 3. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. No current record exists for this game. So some participant here will set one!

Jumpman Jr. is our winner

Last season's champ has made his choices and now it is time to choose the first game of the 5200 HSC Season 18. Poll ends on Sunday, January 7th, at 11pm.

Not as one that is legal to download, anyway. The 5200 conversion cart was released under an agreement with First Star Software. My understanding is that the current rights holders are still willing to work with small scale publishers, so if someone was willing to do the work (as the creators of the 2600 version were), another release might be possible. But interest in the 5200 seems far less than the 2600, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Perhaps best just to bite the bullet and pay Ebay prices if you really want to play the game on the 5200.

Almost forgot! 9,060 -1 Wico penalty - didn’t feel like dealing with the CX52 tonight.

Sounds awful. Glad you could play again, and I sure hope your work has been treating you well as you recover.

101,070

31,100 Re-glued the foil for the fire buttons, so no Wico penalty this month.

Did you accidentally give everyone who scored less than me the Wico penalty? (Believe me, I understand, these things happen!)

54,450 Please give me the -1 Wico penalty. Couldn’t get any standard controllers to work well enough this time around.

Anyone care to speculate why they didn't do something like this? (Y'know, something that would actually appeal to the large-amounts-of-carts-owning fans who might actually want this thing if it was 100% compatible or very nearly so.)

Many, many thanks for all the work you've put into this list. It's great to finally have a reasonably firm timeline for these releases!

Missile Command Practice Mode: 219,280 I have to admit the CX-52 really shines for this game.

Season 17 Champion - RB5200

Good game, works pretty well with the keypad control option. Haven’t had much time to play this month though. 15,798
