  1. Gremlins was a 5200 only as well I believe, though thanks to 'Glenn the 5200 man' there are no 5200 exclusives :)

     

    Not quite correct. You forgot Meteorites and RS Baseball (I almost converted that, but then I've seen the overlay...)

     

    Glenn?????

     

    If so:

     

    Thank you thank you thank you thank you

    :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


  2. If you have Dandy then dont worry about Dark Chambers ;)

     

    Xenphobe was listed a long time ago and they suddenly stopped listing it - If its back up and for sale I would prob want to pick up a copy also (I got Stargate a few years back ;) )

     

    Tower Toppler is fu non the 7800 so I prob wouldnt invest too much in an XE version.


  3. Inky I think you wanted to know how to play TB -

     

    Basically you need to conquer each 'area' on the map to finish a level. The 'Sign' in the middle of the screen will tell you what lands still need to be conquered. Each one has a different puzzle to figure out - In my breif play I finished 'Ghost Town' by finding the key to unlock the way out. I finished Pac Land by eating all the dots. The rest of them have similar things you need to do.

     

    It repeats the same 'areas' but they genreally get larger and harder to finish :)

     

    Good Luck! This is a fun game and a time waster!


  4. Ok my $0.02 here:

     

    1. So, how long until someone figures out how to replace those roms with their own games :D

     

    2. When looking at the list of games which 'Atari' games would you replace the packins with? Remember you cant include any 3rd party or Activision games unless royalties are paid - Im sure the Defender series went back to Williams - soo which 'Atari' developed games would you add?

     

    That 'joystick' 2600 has to generate some ideas for a new awesome portable 2600!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  5. Well,

     

    I finally was able to get my 5200 hooked up to played HH 3D - and I was greeeted with my joystick buttons not working - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

     

    Anyhow,

    I finally got START to work but couldnt light a match - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

     

    So I hooked up my Wico stick and pressing the fire button finally got a match lite.

     

    So, in order to test my stick I put Jungle Hunt in and tested my stick again - I was able to jump with both buttons......hmmmmmmmmm...put HH 3D in and again couldnt light a match with the fire button.

     

    Any possible reason why this is happening :?


  6. Well the original 800 PacMan had intermissions but due to cart size they were removed - somehow a disk version of this got out :)

     

    As for Dig Dug - Thank God the 5200 existed since the Original 800 version SUCKED - From a graphics standpoint it was slightly better than the 5200 but it was slow and didnt play right.

     

    The 800 one was re-released with the 5200 version which didnt look exactly like the arcade but played like the arcade!


  7. Well, besides the 5200 only versions converted you can plug and play an 800XL easier than a 5200 :) - The XL has alot of cart based games that work with it, many which are excellent 3rd party games that werent converted to the 5200. With the XL and no disk drive you miss out on Space Dungeon, Blue Print and Xevious I think - With the 5200 you miss out on alot of the 800 only carts - Flight Simulator, Donkey Kong, Lode Runner and alot more I dont have off the top of my head :)
