RangerG Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I got the Atarimax flashcart for the 5200 and I have enjoyed the large library of protos, conversions, and hacks outside the released game library. I have been thinking about getting one for the Colecovision, but the library seems so much smaller. What roms are available that are playable, fun games? I can think of the two super versions of DK and DK Jr. which would be fun and I know there are a few protos by Atari (I forget which ones). Anything else recommended?

RangerG Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 The info is here: http://www.atarimax.com/usb5200/documentation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoFever1982 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 The info is here: http://www.atarimax.com/usb5200/documentation/ Ah i see. A cart, cd, and usb cable. This hooks up to your computer to play games? So this isn't actually for the 5200 itself right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nope, the program is to transfer and organize the ROMS on the cart, then the cart is inserted into the console for play like normal, I believe all the info is on the site...........

HARMIK Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks will have to get one of them for my Colecovision and 5200, I have the CC3 and thats awesome. Would be cool if Clasics did one for the 2600 and 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Any other suggestions for good playable games to put on the flash cart? We have Super DK and Super DK Jr. What about the Atari Protos like Joust (no sound, right?) and Dig Dug, etc.? Anything that you frequently play outside of the released library?

Would be cool if Clasics did one for the 2600 and 7800. Harmony Cart will be released for 2600 soon. I still want to get a CC3 and a Max cart for the Coleco. I want to get one of the 8-bit ones too since the price is so low! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the Atari systems (especially 2600/5200), the Colecovision doesn't have very many "free" roms out there. The 2600 and 5200 had a ton of games that were basically finished but got canceled in the video game crash. The CV has gotten a number of prototype/unreleased/homebrew releases in the past few years, which are each terrific games, but they're not available as ROMS.

RangerG Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Greg2600 That's what I have gathered from looking around. That's fine I just was weighing the value of getting a Colecovision flashcart. For the 5200 it is great and lets you double or triple your gaming library. But, like you said the Colecovision seems to have a good homebrew scene, but not lots of freely available roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozma wars Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Dig Dug is great to play on the real thing ! ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just got the AtariMax Coleco cart (used off here). These seem to be recommendations from unreleased roms: Escape Mindmaster Fall Guy Kevtris Pacman Matt Patrol Super DK Jr Video Hustler Anything else?

These seem to be recommendations from unreleased roms: Escape Mindmaster Fall Guy Kevtris Pacman Matt Patrol Super DK Jr Video Hustler Anything else? Wait, what is Kevtris doing in that list? It's a homebrew title, not an unreleased commercial game like the others in the list. Dig Dug and Joust are missing from your list, BTW.

RangerG Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thanks Pixelboy, I'll add those two. Kevtris is available as a rom. I explain in the first post that I am interested in playable games outside the released library, like Kevtris. I see where my title makes it sound like just protos.
