5200 Adaptor

[5200 Adaptor]

Ok there Matt,

 

Get your mind outta the gutter!!! :-)

Actually later systems were named after wifes, daughters, pets and so forth, PAM was "Personal Arcade System" but was also a secretary for I think Ray Kassar, not sure, I need to go back to check. Stella was Joe Decuir's bicycle, the Secam 800XL was Rose, the Atari 1060 CP/M module was Sweet-Pea, the Atari 1450XLD was Dynasty, the Atari 2600jr was Bonnie, so as for Slam-Pam it was in fact a full 7800 with a 5200 connector on it, just like the CX55 2600 adapter which was also a whole 2600 on a card with a 5200 connector on it. Most like Slam-Pam either meant you slammed into a 5200 making it a 7800 or it was slamming the door on the PAM and everything was going towards the 7800 which in fact was going to happen, the 5200 was on its way out, with or without the Tramiels help. I wonder if that is why such titles as 5200 Pac Man jr, Super Pac Man, Last Starfighter and others which were excellent games that were done or almost done were never released as to make room for the 7800.... hmmmm, its possible, now it just needs to be confirmed :-)

[HIGHSCORE CARTRIDGE]

Jah,

 

Gary Rubio, a former Atari employee gave me an old schematic and a listing for the code for the cartridge. I designed the board, created the rom's and packaged them into cartridges. I made some pretty lousy labels in the beginning, but later on, designed retro-replica labels and also retro-replica boxes for them to let people feel like they were buying the original product if it had actually been sold 1984 and people really seem to like it and its nice to see the trend continuing as many other products are being annouced with retro-replica boxes and such.

 

I've received an email back from Charles, apparently there is some kind of issue with Justin and getting orders fulfilled, so Charles will pay me for the cartridges and airmail shipping and I will send you out two carts boxed and signed as you requested on Tuesday.

Jah,

 

I know Justin and Charles and this seems odd that they would do such a thing. I sent them one of the last batches of 10 High Score Cartridges, the newer versions in retro-replica boxes with replica-labels on them so I know they have them in stock.

 

I will email them personally and see whats going on, if you do not get a response back from them by Tuesday after the holiday weekend, please notify me. If necessary I will personally ship you your High Score Cartridges from my remaining inventory and see about getting a refund back from Justin & Charles.

 

I'm not happy hearing about this. My email is: [email protected] If anyone else is having problems such as this I would like to know.
