Yep.

What games are inside Marco? That looks like a display box more then a shipping box. Details? It is a dealer display box indeed. All known Mystique / Playaround titles (except General Retreat / Westward Ho) are represented as single enders in there. Cheers, Marco I thought that Playaround titles were all double-enders... Are the single enders PAL only or something?

Thanks! I didn't see those (no contact previously.) Sent him a pm. Thanks again, Steve

pm sent for those cubes!!

I've made some revisions, and I think I'm getting closer to having this be complete. Input and missing info is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve

I was thinking that it would be nice to know how many copies were numbered or released for these games published/sold outside the official releases for the 5200. If you know how many, please chime in. If I'm mistaken, of course, let me know. Thanks, Steve CONVERSIONS: 5-in-1 Special (version 1.0) Limited Edition??

So the Travi carts wouldn't be added to the homebrew list, as it's a hack. We'll put them there. We'll add the Silver Trotter LE to the list - can you tell me what was included? Cart? Manual? Box? Were they limited, numbered, up to what number? Thanks, Steve

Dude - excellent start. Great work for sure. I knew this had to have been talked about before. I've been working on a similar list in the 5200 thread, and it dawned on me to see about the 2600, but I figured I couldn't be the only one. Are we pretty sure that the list is mostly complete? I know there are a few new items missing from the list. Perhaps you can assist with filling in the gaps? I agree that a hack list would be difficult, but like I said in my first post - if we limit it to those released in cart form, it could work. Also, if it was released to ONE cart - that would be kind of stupid to include. There are a lot of people who could make a single cart, but that doesn't count. I'm looking for games available in cart form, and made available to the public, even if it was only for a short time. Like you, I'm also looking forward to working on a reproduction list of the carts made from prototypes (Bugs Bunny, Polo, etc.) I think that lists like these would be great to have, especially since collecting for either (or both) would be a fun subset. Conversions would be about as tough to do as reproductions, but can still be done. Let's do it! I'm going to use your list as a starting point, and refine it, and add to it. Anyone who can help fill in some blanks after I post, that would be great. Thanks, Steve

Nope, Travi is a 2600 game made with bB. According to the cart pics, it says 7800. Was that not the case?

Since I don't do roms (wouldn't even know where to start), I was curious about this. The AA database is a great place to start for sure, but I have to believe that there are some folks here who already have this information. So, I thought I'd ask. Is there a list which identifies all of the known US/NTSC released homebrews, including: 1. What they originally came with (box, manual, etc) 2. If they're still available for sale 3. If they are still available for sale, how are they sold now (cart only?) I just think that for those who are interested in collecting homebrews in cart form, that this would be extremely helpful. Especially #2. I'm certainly not looking for people to start listing every homebrew they're aware of, rather I'm hoping some retentive collector (like myself) already has this information handy, and would be willing to post it here, for everyone to see. If I had my way, I'd break it down like this: 1. Reproductions 2. Conversions 3. Homebrews 4. Hacks Again, starting to make this from scratch would be quite daunting. So, hopefully some of the veterans would be willing to contribute. I know that there are some here who have them all (or close enough), so please help out. Thanks, Steve

Bump - as original message/title has been changed.

This is why I've started the thread... Was it just the cart, or did it come with anything? Is it a hack or homebrew, or a conversion? (And, where can I get one? ) Thanks, Steve There was a small run of it a few years ago - cart only. Hack of Pac-Man. Rom is available in this thread Also (don't know if this counts) I made a 'fixed' version of Pac-Man fixing the three bugs: 1) Speed increase on first apple instead of second (when starting on an earlier fruit), 2) correct number of flashes before turning back, and 3) The boards where the monsters are not supposed to turn blue at all, they stay blue forever. That was fixed. Rom is available in this thread Thanks! Bob Hmm...interesting. I'll add the Pac-Man Plus to the Hacks section. It's a bummer that there aren't anymore carts for sale. I don't do emulators, so the roms don't help me much. I don't know if I should include the 'fix' version of Pac-Man; but I will if it was available in cart form. Thanks, Steve

Okay folks - thanks to some members with these lying around, and one insightful ebay link... I've gone from 5 to 63. I need a lot more, but so far, appreciate the response! Keep 'em coming!! Thanks, Steve

I'm looking for near mint boxes for the following games: Zimag: Cosmic Corridor Dishaster I Want My Mommy Tanks but No Tanks Avalon Hill Shuttle Orbiter Pics required - just let me know! Thanks, Steve

I'm afraid that I no nothing about bios or mods or any of that stuff. If it's something simple, I can do it. Otherwise... However, I would consider a 2 port in the same or similar condition.

I don't know about M.U.L.E. for sure, though I suspected it was a conversion. Had no idea about the BoulderDash being available in black. Thanks for the info. By the way, are the First Star Software releases considered conversions or homebrews? Thanks Mayhem! Steve

This is why I've started the thread... Was it just the cart, or did it come with anything? Is it a hack or homebrew, or a conversion? (And, where can I get one? ) Thanks, Steve

I think you're missing a bunch. Archon Atlantis Attack of the Mutant Camels Batty Builders Chess Chicken Clowns & Balloons Crossfire Demon Attack Desmond's Dungeon Diamond Mine Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. Fast Eddie Ixion Jawbreaker Jumpman Jr. K-Star Patrol Klax Mr. Cool O'Riley's Mine Pacific Coast Highway Pastfinder Tapper Turmoil Worm War I Also - what is Merry Christmas "Special Secret Santa 2006 - Thank you and happy holidays!" - never heard of that one. Curious about these also, as I'd not heard of them before: 5-in-1 Special Version 1.0 (Mean Hamster Software) Asteroids: Arcade Edition AtariMax (128-in-1 USB Flash Multi-Cart) B.C.'s Quest for Tires Boulder Dash Forbidden Forest Freecell Hangly-Man Jum's Pong M.U.L.E. Pac Pollux Rally Speedway Space Invaders: Arcade Edition Time Runner Xagon Thanks, Steve

Oops! I'll take those Boulder Dash carts out - they're not homebrews, but they're the only conversions I know of to get the "five star treatment" - label, box, manual... I'll remove them though. Also, I believe that Crystal Castles, Super Pac-Man, Xevious and Jr. Pac-Man are reproductions (from 5200 prototypes.) Atlantis, Caverns of Mars, and Gateway to Apshai are conversions from games available on other systems, but never intended for release on the 5200. What I'm looking for are games strictly made by individuals for the 5200, long after it's production stopped. I guarantee there are multiple people out there who have them all - so let's hear it! Thanks, Steve

What I was looking for, was a complete list of the current carts made available for the 5200. I've basically tried to identify them for a master list, and have broken them down like this: Official Releases Test Carts (carts that aren't games, but exist anyway - diagnostic cart, Pete's test cart) Reproductions (carts made from prototype roms) Conversions (from games designed for other systems) Homebrews (new games designed after the system stopped production) Hacks (games made by altering original code) Furthermore, it would be helpful to know what came with the game when it was released (box, manual, overlays, extras, etc). For example... Haunted House II 3-D is a homebrew, and as far as I can tell came out in three iterations: 1. Original black label, with manual only. 2. Revised silver label, with box and manual. 3. Revised black label, with name changed to "Scary Mansion II 3-D". (BTW - if I'm incorrect on that, please let me know. I'm coming into this late in the game.) Adventure II is a homebrew, and as far as I can tell, has 1 cart, but was sold in two ways: 1. Cart only. 2. Limited Edition - came with box, cart, manual, sticker, key...(not sure what else) I believe that there are some knowledgeable people out there who can accurately answer these questions, and correct my lists if they have inaccuracies. I've developed the lists from a "quilt" of infomation, but I don't know how accurate it is. All help is appreciated. I'm not going to list the official releases or test carts, because those lists are already available here at atariage.com. PLEASE DON'T GET UPSET OR OFFENDED (OR FLAME ME) IF I HAVE ANY OF THESE MISCLASSIFIED - THAT'S WHY I'M DOING THIS, SO I CAN GET THE LISTS RIGHT. However, here are my lists, from what I can gather, for the other sections: Reproductions (carts made from prototype roms): 5200 Menu A.E. Asteroids Barroom Baseball Battlezone Black Belt Blaster Boogie Demo Final Legacy Frisky Tom Jr. Pac-Man Last Starfighter, The Looney Toons Hotel Meebzork Micro-gammon SB Millipede Miniature Golf (Realsports) Basketball (original version) Realsports Basketball Road Runner Spitfire Sport Goofy Stargate Super Pac-Man Tempest Track and Field Xari Arena Xevious Yellow Sub Demo Conversions (from games designed for other systems): 5-in-1 Special (version 1.0) Abracadabra AtariMax (128-in-1 USB Flash Multicart) ANALOG Multicart Archon Atlantis Attack of the Mutant Camels Batty Builders BC's Quest for Tires Boulder Dash (pink version) - comes with box, manual Boulder Dash (red version) - comes with box, manual Boulder Dash (yellow version) - comes with box, manual Boulder Dash (black version) - comes with box, manual Boulder Dash II: Rockford's Revenge - comes with box, manual Bristles - comes with box, manual Buried Bucks Captain Beeble Caverns of Mars Chess Chicken Claim Jumper Clowns & Balloons Cosmi Crossfire Crystal Castles Demon Attack Desmond's Dungeon Diamond Mine Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. Fast Eddie Flip and Flop - comes with box, manual Forbidden Forest Freecell Gateway to Apshai Ixion Jawbreaker Jumpman Jr. K-Star Patrol Merry Christmas Mr. Cool M.U.L.E. O'Riley's Mine Pacific Coast Highway Pastfinder Preppie Rally Speedway Raster Music Tracker ROF Intro Satan's Hollow Shamus Spy Hunter Tapper Time Runner Turmoil Up 'n Down Worm War I Xagon Homebrews (new games designed after the system stopped production): Adventure II - comes with box, manual, key, sticker, etc (in LE version) Beef Drop - comes with manual Castle Blast - comes with box, manual Castle Crisis - comes with box, manual Combat II Advanced - comes with box, manual Combat II Advanced (Super Attack Battle label) Haunted House II 3-D (original black label) - comes with manual Haunted House II 3-D (revised art label) - comes with box, manual Haunted House II 3-D (Scary Mansion II 3-D label) Klax - comes with box, manual Koffi: Yellow Kopter - comes with box, manual (original release); manual (now) Rent Wars - comes with box, manual Hacks (games made by altering original code) Asteroids: Arcade Edition Hangly-Man Pac-Man Plus Pac Pollux Space Invaders: Arcade Edition Thanks, Steve

Does anyone know if this project is "dead." Also, is there a way to still get these cases, or does anyone have them for sale? Thanks, Steve

Any shot in hell at getting one of these CIB copies?

Must have this!!
