+RangerG #1 Posted January 21, 2007 I just finished playing Robotron and Space Dungeon. The 5200 joystick may have its problems, but the joysticks when coupled are great in these two games. Are there any other games that use this combination (including all the homebrews and conversions)? This would be a great feature for a future homebrew (which games would be best?) because it is one of the 5200's strengths. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BassGuitari #2 Posted January 21, 2007 To my knowledge, Space Dungeon and Robotron are the only ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Allan #3 Posted January 21, 2007 It would work great with Crazy Climber. Crazy Climber would be a great game on the 5200. Allan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRetroGamer #4 Posted January 21, 2007 It would work great with Crazy Climber. Crazy Climber would be a great game on the 5200. Allan That would be a good game (a Kenfused challenge perhaps ), but just imagine the beating those controllers would take! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+RangerG #6 Posted January 21, 2007 Ha ha, nice pic Allan. What about Tutankam? I love the 2 joystick configuration on the arcade game. Is it an 8-bit game? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Allan #7 Posted January 21, 2007 Ha ha, nice pic Allan. What about Tutankam? I love the 2 joystick configuration on the arcade game. Is it an 8-bit game? Yea, maybe that could be converted to the 5200 and made to use two sticks for fire and direction. Allan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jetset #8 Posted January 27, 2007 How about Vanguard? Might be worth a try as a hack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Lee #9 Posted January 27, 2007 Nice ideed to have a Atari 8 bit titles converted to the 5200 with new coding which takes advantage of the coupler. Tutankam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
