www.atarimania.com Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Check the following entry: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...VERSION_ID=7025 This tape actually has a somewhat official release of the 5200 version of Centipede as hacked by Glenn! -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookt Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Whoa! I can't believe that is actually on the tape! I've never bothered to load it up, I just assumed it was a tape conversion of the official Atari cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 That's weird... couldn't they even be bothered getting rid of the cracktro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookt Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 This IS Atari we're talking about Probably Tramiel era too ... I think those compilation tapes were the pack in games for the "Dixons Pack" machines when the 8 bit stock was being sold off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the compilation that included tennis star raiders and asteroids, i think i had that one....don't remember the cracktro, unless atari did two versions of the tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 It'd be interesting to have a look through these things... bet they've got the cracked code (NOPs, etc) rather than being redone to specifically run from RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Actually, you need to press CONTROL+G to bring up the "cracktro" but that's how the original file works as well. So, basically, they just added a header and a loading screen. Caramel...

Just go take your pills. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Perhaps try looking at the following link http://www.mr-atari.com/cassettes.htm Especially look at the first section, the two compilation tapes (which i had) then go suck a large one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I already gave a link to our site with what the tape contains and all you can come up with is a moronic question asking "was that the compilation that included tennis star raiders and asteroids". What a sad and laughable figure you are... -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a sad and laughable figure you are... -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Firstly you might try doing your RESEARCH first....Atari sold (via dixons/curry's) as part of the 800xl and tape deck bundle (later copied for the xe and tape deck bundle) both compilation tapes as one whole compilation (hence, compilation tape 1 and 2) Also you might try actually reading the first part of my post again...Was that the compilation that included tennis star raiders and asteroids (speaking of the compilation as a whole) as i never implied or infered that it was on the same tape Additionally, you might want to do you reseach into atari UK's marketing for the XE games cartridge's, specifically the advertising campaign entitled 'latest and the greatest' alongside the mention of thunderfox and below the mention of fight night you will find a mention of 'compilation' which includes centipde star raiders and tennis amongst others Edited August 3, 2009 by carmel_andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see red little squigglies under all the words you type wrong. Which are countless. 2> You're lecturing Atari Frog on research now? He's probably forgotten more about Atari than what you'll ever hope to accumulate. 3> Your attempts at going on the defensive are commendable, however pitiful they may be. 4> Rather than trying to butt heads, try and be a little respectful. 5> I do have a large one.

boxpressed Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Necrobumping here, but I was wondering if these conversions were ever fixed to resolve the sound issues on the XL/XE lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
