+Allan Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Does anybody know how to get to the secret fifth screen in 5200 Donkey Kong? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbrit2 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Uh oh, I think my brain needs a fresh set of fuses now. Where did that come from, anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Dude, there's no such game in existence. You did a nice job on making up that label. I'd love to see an 8 bit DK for the 5200, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 The secret 5th screen is really just lvl 1 which is impossible to get to on the 5200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 It's just the Tempest label from John Hardie (I think! If I'm wrong someone please correct me.) The later labels like Gremlins are much easier to do but this is the only good scan of a 5200 label I have. The letters in the blue stip of course are the hardest. If your lucky you can find them in other labels and just cut and paste them. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 You can only get to the fifth screen if you complete this game and get the password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Man if the 8-bit Donkey Kong was ever released for the 5200.. that would've been the seal on the whole 5200 vs. Colecovision debate... but then again, if that happened then the Colecovision wouldn't have had it.. But things don't have to make sense here in Bizarro world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get the angled picture. Did you photograpg the 2600 Elevator cart/box? It pic's going on my desktop! Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 re: The 5200 Elevator Action pic. It looks to me like he made the label and applied it to a cart shell, then took a real picture of it. I bet it only plays "Pac-Man" though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted January 20, 2003 Author Share Posted January 20, 2003 I think your right Cafeman. Very cool. Dam I need a digital camera. By the way, anybody know what game 5259 was? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan CX5259 was scheduled to be none other than Elevator Action.

PacManPlus Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! That was one game I wish they would have done! (Actually, the 7800 would have been better suited for this, with the Maria chip and all)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Man if the 8-bit Donkey Kong was ever released for the 5200.. that would've been the seal on the whole 5200 vs. Colecovision debate... but then again, if that happened then the Colecovision wouldn't have had it.. But things don't have to make sense here in Bizarro world That was the whole sticking point with Atari and Nintendo as Atari had bought the home computer rights to Donkey Kong and Atari then found out Nintendo licensed the video game rights to Coleco. The only problem was that Coleco was touting the CV as upgradable to a computer and supplied its Adam as a CV upgrade and a standalone with CV built in. So that made the deal very sketchy.... So a 5200 version would've had to be released by Coleco for the Atari 5200 and if you notice.... CV only released stuff on the Atari 2600.
