Elvis8Atari Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I tried to play Wizard of Wor for my 5200 tonight and was having some issues. Maybe someone can help. I have a working Atari 5200, and I use a Wico controller. I am able to play my other games, such as Galaxian. Works just fine. But when I try and play Wizard of Wor, nothing happens. I hit the start button on the original controller, which starts the game. And the the character just wont move or fire. Any ideas what could be wrong?

BassGuitari Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Did you try using the second controller port? IIRC Wizard Of Wor used joystick #2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (Laughs) Yeh, it was a WEIRD setup but player one is in the second controller port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 super annoying yes player one is on the right so its in the second port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Worth mentioning that this was just replicating the arcade setup. Perhaps a case where their attempt at faithfulness was a bit misplaced. At the very least, you should've been able to play a single player game as the blue character when starting with the left controller. Then, it could've maintained this bit from the arcade without causing any confusion. Edited March 4, 2015 by Atariboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE5200 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, try port 2..Can't count how many times my dad and I played the hell of the 2600 version which somewhat plays easy then the 5200 version. I guess its the controllers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis8Atari Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Okay, the second controller port worked. But my WICO controllers are so out of alignment it doesn't seem to matter anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Is blue print the same way having to use the 2nd controller port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 No, it's port #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correagonzalez Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I know for a fact the only other game that plays on 2nd controller port is tac scan for 2600, great game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Good thing I ran into this. I have WOR on my 5200 SD multicart And haven't played It. Now I won't be acting like James Rolfe in his 5200 video lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I know for a fact the only other game that plays on 2nd controller port is tac scan for 2600, great game though Wizard of Wor on the Atari 2600 also is setup this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Or you can select two players to play as the blue warrior... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
