ataribernie Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Has anyone thought of porting the Atari arcade game Black Widow to the 5200? I happen to love that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 It was planned by Atari, but I don't think it ever got started. I've always hoped that a prototype of it would turn up someday. Tempest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I would also love to see a prototype of this game show up, as Black Widow is one of my favorite Atari vector games. I'd love to get my hands on one someday, although it tortures me that it was a conversion of Tempest. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ataribernie Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 Actually, Black Widow was a conversion of Gravitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Actually, Black Widow was a conversion of Gravitar. You're right, my bad. I don't know what I was thinking. And I should know better, as I have a Gravitar cabinet!! ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Its to bad a prototype of this game doesnt exist. This game seems like a perfect fit for the 5200 along side Space Dungeon and Robotron 2084. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I'd love to see this game done on something besides that compilation disc for the DC. 5200/A8, etc should be able to run it. Played the bejesus out of it back then, lol Anyways, someone's been doing a lot of grave digging here lately...

Albert Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Was Major Havoc a Tempest conversion? Probably, it's the same type of cabinet, and not the really cool Major Havoc cabinet.. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Black Widow that was a Gravitar. I have the board and CP for Gravitar in a closet so that it can be swapped back but I really like Black Widow so that might not happen for a while.

Yeah, the original roller is much better than the Tempest spinner. If you want to sell your Gravitar board and CP at some point, please let me know! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get a couple Cinematronics cabs, Star Castle and Space Wars for sure, maybe Rip-Off, though that game ruins my wrists. Maybe Armor..Attack instead. No room to store/play them currently, though. Never enough room... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 ......and on top of using the twin-stick controller holder like Space Dungeon and Robotron 2084 use Crazy Climber would also be awesome. I don't think there's an A8 version of it though. Karate Champ would also be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
