    Not completely...just a little! I like the joystick better than the trak-ball as well!

    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?

    Perry-looks awesome and this is perfect timing. Hopefully, Curt is recovering and will get back to the XM's soon!

    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!

    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.

    Yep, that's the same problem I have...hopefully, some one has an answer...

    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...

    Al is having the manuals re-printed. He expects to ship late next week.

    In fact, there were over 60 million NES systems sold and only around 1 million 5200's!
  23. mmervine
    Congrats...glad you got it working again!
  24. mmervine
    Glad to see that these other great games are also close to being ready for release!
