    I recently happened across a full box of Edutainment games for the original Playstation.  After sorting out originals so I could have those on hand, I've got TONS of duplicates I'm willing to sell.

    I streamed it on Twitch the night I got it, but I'm not going to delude myself that I have anywhere near the viewership of Metal Jesus or 8-Bit Guy. :D

     

    I DO intend to include it in my 'victory stream' after I finish my 7800 library collection. ^^d

    @TailChao  Just had a thought...  Perhaps you might be able to get some more funding by licensing Rikki and Vikki to Polymega if they ever release an Atari module.  They've pre-loaded licensed titles onto each module, so it might be a good opportunity for a wider reach. ^^d

    One step closer...
     

    Went to a nearby used game/music shop today that has a basement 'Museum' where they store stuff they feel is too obscure to put on the shelves.  A few months back, I landed the Atari 2600 and Steering Wheel modules for the Colecovision for $20.  Today, I got the Odyssey 2 Voice Module CiB for $60!


    The cheap prices are due to their untested states...  But I got this home, tried it out myself and the gamble paid off!

    I'm close to a complete collection, lacking only a few of the usual suspects.  Anyone here willing to part with Power Lords, Atlantis or Demon Attack?  I prefer loose...  I'm more picky about price than completion. :D  Also trying to land a copy of Nimble Numbers Ned...  All of these are currently on eBay, but for heavily inflated prices. :P

    Bottom line - given the small catalog of the 5200, fact that games worth having are already converted, and the widespread dislike of the controllers, is it something worth doing?

    Are there any 5200-exclusive games?  I mean, likely not enough to be worthwhile... Only REAL thing would be the availability of 5200 games vs 8-bit carts.

     

    I'm RELATIVELY new to the Atari family...  My uncle had a 2600 when I was a kid, but I only started getting into the 7800 and XEGS last year and I'm enjoying both. ^^d  Just didn't want to feel I was missing out on any 5200 games.

    2.  Hardware difference.  The 5200 joysticks are different; you'd either need a port to plug in a 5200 joystick, or a mechanism to translate a "normal" Atari joystick to the 5200 inputs.  Since there are more buttons (including a keypad) on the 5200, that's a big potential problem,

    For this one, I thought that the keypad might just map to the XEGS Keyboard.

    It's probably easier to have all the 5200 ports written on a flash cart. Or get yourself an SD based cart and play tons of games from one cart.

     

    All these "play one machine's games on another one" are not that simple. Either you have "dual" machines like the 7800 or the "adapter" is more or less the whole system (like the VCS adapter for the 5200). Don't know about the Coleco-Atari-adapter but that's probably similar. 

    Yeah, most of the time the simple adaptors are there because the machines are so similar the cartridges don't know the difference.  Like with the Power Base for the Genesis.  Sounds like that's just slightly not the case between the 5200 and the 8-Bit.

    I tend to avoid flash carts for the most part...  If I'm going to play something other than genuine hardware, I'm just going to go with a full emulator for the convenience.

    The 5200 has (at least some) hardware addresses different than the 8-bits, i.e. chips like ANTIC and GTIA map to different memory locations. Carts contain program code (machine language). It would be very hard to impossible for a converter to deduct what part of the code refers to such addresses. 

    Thanks!  That was the answer I was looking for.  I don't have a 5200, but I DO have an XEGS.  Since 5200 carts are so much easier to find than the 8-bit, I was hoping there's be a simple way to do it, but I guess not.

    Congrats on being so close to a complete collection! It's fun, isn't it? Looks like Video61 has Summer Games for a palatable $39.95. All of their titles are new in box.

    By the way, PriceCharting is often highly inaccurate. I stopped using it a while back. Sorting by sold listings on eBay is a more accurate reflection of current value. 

    I've found it mostly (but not completely) accurate compared to what I've found in game stores, at least.  I also check GameValueNow as well.  As for Summer Games, I got an offer PMd from another user. ^^d

    I have a loose Kung Fu Master available.

    Fantastic!  If you're willing to part with it, drop me a PM and we'll hash things out.

    Heya!  I'm only 6 games away from a complete set of NTSC Atari 7800 games...  Anyone willing to part with any of the following titles? Or does anyone know of good online game stores I could purchase from?
     

    Fatal Run
    Ikari Warriors
    Kung-Fu Master
    Midnight Mutants (Plenty of PAL options on eBay, but not much NTSC)
    Summer Games
    Tank Command

     

    I know there are two copies of Fatal Run on eBay right now, but they're posted for 2-3x what's on PriceCharting/GameValueNow.  I'm also very much NOT picky about it being in box.  I intend to play these games, so I'm quite fine with Loose cartridges.
