8bitbasslines Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 hello all was wondering does anyone on here own a 5200 multicart ? pros and cons please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I do. It's really great! There are no CONS as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 PRO: It's a great way to have an instant collection for a lot less than it would cost to buy individual carts. CON: There's nothing like owning the originals. PRO: It has almost everything known to exist for the 5200 (less BBSB, Super Pac-Man and a handful of variations) CON: The menu is hard to navigate. PRO: You'll probably never own all of the prototypes on your own unless you are Atari's creator or Tempest. Go out and buy one already.

MegaManFan Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 PRO: It's really f'n sweet. CON: Some games seem to randomly freeze up on me, even though their normal cart counterparts never do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 where can you buy one? Sean no longer sells them on his website? Mock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 where can you buy one? Sean no longer sells them on his website? Odds are he got hassled into taking it down by Activision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hey, you're right...when did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 The 5200 multi-cart is shown here as something I designed for my own personal use. I am unable to sell this cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hey, you're right...when did that happen? Wow, fast edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Anyone else know where to get one? I'd guess you can still get them , just maybe not above ground except maybe through a trade...he left the ref. to them on the site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahsMyBro Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 WOW Does that suck!!!! I didn't know about this. Did it happen recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 If I can complete my 5200 collection, there's a chance I'd part with mine - otherwise I'm keeping it. (And not to worry Ken, I own all of the Activision titles already as legitimate individual carts; even Pitfall II.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cx2k Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Don't always believe what you read. I'm sure if you email him, you can work something out. John WOW Does that suck!!!! I didn't know about this. Did it happen recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about doing that too, but then I wouldn't have the prototypes to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 looks like he cant sell the 2600 multi-cart either http://home.xnet.com/~skelly/multis.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onklsven75 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Do you think he can sell me a colecovision multi-cart if I ask him to? I've been wanting one of those for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I was thinking about doing that too, but then I wouldn't have the prototypes to play. That is of course, unless you buy reproductions of them from a certain user here on AtariAge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuzzed Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 How about selling us the plans to make our own multi-cart? would that be feasable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
