arcade124 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/CRAZY-KONG-for-ATARI-5200-SuperSystem-cartridge-only-NEW-RELEASE-/332884358958?oid=332672781189 I looked it up, there's absolutely no record of such a game existing besides this listing. Link in the description takes me to Xari Arena. Anyone know how good of a port of CK it is, or of any footage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm sure it's a hack of the Atari 800 Donkey Kong. You might be able to find a rom of it somewhere to try. Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think it's somewhere in this thread. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/249885-atari-a8-donkey-kong-hack/page-1 Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcade124 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 I've known for years what CK is, but I've never heard about a 5200 port. That's what I'm confused on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMarcoux66 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) I've known for years what CK is, but I've never heard about a 5200 port. That's what I'm confused on. Same boat as you. I know what the arcade game is but not the 5200 version. Wonder if there is a ROM we could try out before we buy it? Curious on the gameplay.

The seller says he's just getting the boards in, maybe it's been private before this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I can't find anything anywhere about it. The seller says he's just getting the boards in, maybe it's been private before this? My bet is it's a color pallet and\or sprite hack of the previously ported A8 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neogeoman Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The only two home versions I know about are the commodore 64 and zx spectrum versions. Dont know where this port came from, but I agree its probably a hack of the excellent atari 800 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know where this port came from, but I agree its probably a hack of the excellent atari 800 version It might not have been a modern hack. It could've been an A8 public domain/shareware/freeware attempt at replicating the unauthorized arcade game and then "transported" over to the 5200...
