Lord Helmet Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Berzerk I'm on the fence with this one...I really like 2600 Berzerk, especially Berzerk VE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzep Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'd put in Star Raiders. I got the Atari 800 first and loved Star Raiders on that. But when my friend got the 5200 and we played that version, it was so much easier to deal with the analog stick with all the buttons right there than using the classic 8-direction joystick with the Atari 800. I do like the "space ship bridge" feel of the Atari 800 version, easier to play with two people ("Shields up!") but it's easier to get through the battles with the 5200 version. I also love the 5200 Space Dungeon for the same two player gunner/pilot aspect. Like flying a space Apache helicopter with each player dealing with only one half of the game. It would be pretty stressful trying to kill the enemies when the other player would make some sort of evasive maneuver, preventing you from hitting enemy that was right in your sights! No back the other way, the other... dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 is everyone forgetting about miner 2049er... way better on the 5200 ... way better than the coleco version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 is everyone forgetting about miner 2049er... way better on the 5200 ... way better than the coleco version. Is the 5200 version the same as the 8-bit version? What makes it better than the CV version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 the coleco version your guy moves way to fast. and i dont think it looks near as good graphically as the 5200 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 IMO Space Dungeon, w/ the coupler, is far superior to the MAME (i.e., arcade) prototype. Anybody care to comment on the above? I just realized that I can play the arcade version on my xbox, and now I'm wondering if I should bother trying to get two working 5200 controllers for this one game when I can just use both sticks of the xbox pad instead.

Rex Dart Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeah the sticks tend not to work on the controllers I find, unless I'm prepared to spend $40 on a guaranteed one (I'm not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
