I just got my Atarimax cart and Adventure 2 from James.... another smooth and fair deal..

thanks !

[5200 homebrews]

So far, I've acquired:

5200 Battlezone proto- playable, but collision is wacky

5200 Xevious proto- very playable

5200 Sinistar- very playable, though collision is slightly off

5200 Beef Drop- good, though I'd rather the A8 version. Bought this one since A8 is never in stock

5200 Castle Blast- lovin' this one

 

As for buying from "them", every time I've tried to order the items I wanted came up out of stock.

 

Zylon,

How does the 5200 xevious proto compare to the 7800 version?

I love Xevious, but that game just frustrates me. Maybe I haven't put enough time into it, as I always have trouble once I get to the end of what appearsto be the first wave. [big city or whatever it is that you engage]

[5200 homebrews]

I have an Atari max cart coming from one of our members here and am looking forward to koffi: yellow Kopter and several others on it , which I have never played.

[Wico command retrofit question]

5200 has the same end as does the wico.

if pots have a different value, there is no adapting them?

[Wico command retrofit question]

Question:

 

What is the difference between a 5200 Wico command control #50-1043 AND the Wico computer command IBM #50-0110 joystick?

 

I ask because I have the computer command brand new in the box, Nobody seems to want it, so I am getting the Frankenstein bug to mod it to work for the 5200 rather than spend for a used one on ebay. I really dont care if its molded in off white or black...

 

even if I can mod the controller, seems as with all controllers back in the day , the manufacturer assumes we are all right handed, buttons on wrong side for alefty...

 

the rheostats (pots)inside are different values

 

and the plug is wired differently and the plug is male vs female

 

its easy to make an adapter just search out pc to 5200 adapter

[Mayhem]

Mayhem is an awesome buyer ! awesome conversation !

 

thanks again.

[Activision's role in the demise of 5200]

If your product is 100% dependent on another company's output, especially one you have sued, you are going to fail.

 

 

I couldnt agree more...

 

That said, I hear good and bad things said all of the time about the activision offerings for the 5200. Obviously they could have done more with the 52's capabilities.

 

With keystone kapers being my all time favorite game for 2600, It naturally comes in close on the 5200 as well.

Love them or hate them they are what they are. Why would the developers have changed much other than some minor graphics or sound as then game play changes as well?

 

I love activision games. they are why I got back into this little hobby. 2600 or 5200, for the most part they are all great games today.

 

Off topic , I would like to have seen some imagic games for the 5200, I was stoked while reading a posting last night that there is Demon attack and Atlantis available on another site for the 5200, they will be added to my gaming rotation in short order..

[Midnight Synergy]

[dafivehole]

davefivehole got some some from me last month. sorry for the late feedback, but highly recommended buyer !

Thanks !

[5200 homebrews]

Does anyone have Atlantis or Demon attack? fun on 2600 how are they as converted XL games? are they worth picking up?

[5200 Tempest]

I'd like to get in line myself... count me in !

[2] 2600's for sale. lots of stuff !]

Sell the Jr. with power supply separately?

 

 

I can do that.

[SOLD! - CIB Stunt Cycle]

A true thing of beauty !

[2] 2600's for sale. lots of stuff !]

Atari 2600 jr. SOLD to Stan !

 

 

'83 Atari 2600 Darth Vader, very clean unit with original owners manual and warranty card, original RF cable,TV switch ,[2] factory power adaptors, the original with repair at plug end , but works without issue.

[ 2] Quick Shot Brand pilot style joysticks, both function just fine and are silly clean , one has the original inspection sticker on it and those darn suction cups stick like mad

[1] sealed on card Recoton #V127 10' joystick extension cable [2600 only] so you can sit on the couch and play !

[1] cx-40 joystick needing rebuild , [1]used boxed gemini gemstik, [1] boxed video command fairchild F-style joystick, [1]funky looking cx40 clone. [1] Recton #V129 56" exact replacement joystick cable for cx40 joystick sealed on the card is included. 2600 console carrier bottom is included, top is gone.

 

I'll also include [2] epyx 500Xj's . they are both rough, missing the joystick handles but the internals appear to be fine for spare parts.

 

$45 and actual shipping.

 

No surprises, the darth works as it should. Only reason I am selling is I have a 7800 and a 5200 w/vcs adaptor so these are no longer needed, could also use the space the 2600 stuff is taking up as well.

I have a perfect box for shipping and pack well.

 

Thanks for looking !

[cx55 vcs adaptor issue ?]

If they do that is a little misleading . granted they probably have good climate control and shrink wrap to stave off any moisture damage in shipping.

 

but it was obvious that the box was untouched... there are always tell-tale signs in even the most minor of creases to those atari box flaps after opened...

I have ot believe this was untested... No harm No foul , as long as I can adjust it and dont have to return it... my time is worth more than the item & hassles of a return.

 

Still plunking away on this darn computer this morning... have to make that adjustment and report back

[cx55 vcs adaptor issue ?]

I spoke with best yesterday and they said the same.

what I found odd was that they claimed that they burned it in and set the color to a one of their known functional 5200's.

how can that be if the box was sealed and the little tab to lock the box was visibly untouched anyway ?

weird.

 

I am going to do that adjustment right now !

 

thanks again guys !

[cx55 vcs adaptor issue ?]

okay...I just got in a new boxed cx55 vcs adaptor for my 2 port 5200 from Best elec.

 

My issue is the color seems way out of whack on this thing.. pitfall is so frigging green no yellows at all, pitfall2 is even worse.. ! Demon Attack and Donkey Kong are so pink its as if someone whacked the color way up on the TV.

My 52 works just fine with every game made for it, no picture issues at all.

So my question is :

whats going on ?

 

bad RF cable ? something bad in the vcs ? something that's easily serviced or do I send it back to best ?

 

It seems I am hitting for the cycle on system issues lately

 

thanks for looking !

[5200 VS 7800: Which System has the Better Library?]

Most of the 7800 games Ive played are pretty lame... they all center around the same epyx looking graphics and game play..Most feel unfinished to me.. Yea there are some REALLY good games on the 78, but 5200 has by far and away the better arcad and originals title list......I like the graphics, and joystick better as well and the games play as they should.

 

Ive spent a good deal of time on desert falcon and xevious and still fight the damn games and get no further... It cant be just me ?

 

I'd even go so far as to say 2600 is better than 7800. if you cant find 50 great games on 2600 that keep up your interest, you certainly wont be wowed by even half that number on 7800

 

The 800 has some neat 3rd party games. I wish I had kept the 800Xl I recently sold as I had a sh!t house of NOS sealed games for it that would have kept me busy for a months..... This hobby was just getting out of control and something had to go. The 800 seemed the most logical choice as I already have a ton of commodore 64 games..... I'll probably regret the 800 sale, but right now, not a second thought given to it...
