  1. Not completely...just a little! I like the joystick better than the trak-ball as well!
  2. My copy arrived today...really awesome!!! Loved reading this history of the game! I did notice a mistake with the manual....anyone else catch it?
  3. Perry-looks awesome and this is perfect timing. Hopefully, Curt is recovering and will get back to the XM's soon!
  4. A big thanks to Al, Keithen Hayenga, and everyone else to worked to make this a reality. 30 years in the making...looks awesome...can't wait to give this a spin on my 5200!
  5. Congrat's...my main system is a 7800, but I picked up a 5200 a few weeks ago and glad that I did. I also picked up the Atarimax SD mulit-cart which makes it easy to play the games ported over from 8-bit systems. My main motivation was to be able to review 5200 games for my blog, but I also find myself enjoying the 5200 as a game system!
  6. I will do the same on my blog,,, http://retrogameguy.com/
  7. updated my post on Galaxian and Galaga to include info on 5200 Galaxian... http://retrogameguy.com/2012/12/22/galaxian-and-galaga/

  8. I recently bought a 5200 with two controllers. Neither worked, so I ordered a 2nd gen gold one from Best. Plugged it in and my 5200 works like a champ. I say give it a try and buy one controller...you can always resell the controller, if the 5200 is toast.
  9. updated my post on Asteroids to include info on the 5200 version... http://retrogameguy.com/2012/11/20/asteroids/

  10. Yep, that's the same problem I have...hopefully, some one has an answer...
  11. Got my Atarimax SD cart a few days ago and it is really awesome! I have one question for the forum...has any one had issues with Pole Position? My PP cart works great, but when I play PP from my Atarimax, it does not respond to the joystick. Anyone else have this problem? I have tried a couple different BIN's and they both do the same thing. I don't have this problem with any other games...
  12. Updated my post on Space Invaders to include info on the 5200 version... http://retrogameguy.com/2012/10/20/space-invaders-2/

  13. I will probably edit and add some more info, but here is my blog about Pac-Man games for the 5200... http://retrogameguy.com/2013/02/17/atari-5200-pac-man-games/

    5200 Tempest

    Al is having the manuals re-printed. He expects to ship late next week.
  15. In fact, there were over 60 million NES systems sold and only around 1 million 5200's!
  16. Glad to see that these other great games are also close to being ready for release!
  17. Curt-great to hear from you and glad that you are getting stronger every day!
  18. Cleaned up my blog site today...added categories for system and game reviews...a click on one of these will pull up all of the posts in that category... http://retrogameguy.com/
