Thinking of buying a modded 5200 and gold contact controllers to play Gauntlet! I still have my old stack of games for it, too!! I like the 8-bit computers better, so you homebrew programmers better crack out more like this to sway me!!

  I love my 5200, but the last thing I'd play is that Gauntlet hb/conv. It's way too choppy.

  Honestly, if you have Atari 8-bit computers you gain very little with an Atari 5200. It's not a casual acquisition. With that said, once I got a video modded one and working controllers it was a LOT more fun, but it's still kind of a pain to store/maintain and get software for, particularly in comparison to the 8-bit computers that do the same things and then some.

  Yeah if you have an 8-bit I would look into an AtariMax Flash cart or one of those SIO2PC devices so you can play any game you want.
