jamye boyd Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I bought megamania from a gal on eBay. This was a game I used to play as a kid. I asked the woman if it was for the 5200. She assured me it was. I bought and payed a bit for it as I was excited to find it and play. But when the game arrived, it was quite small. It was the smallest cartridge I have seen. Does this game not even belong to the 5200? I know that the game was made for that system but don't see how this little cartridge fits in my 5200. I would like some insight as to what system this belongs too.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cjherr Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Can you post a picture? I'm guessing Atari 8-bit computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edladdin Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hard to tell without a photo or some measurements, but 5200 Megamania is basically the same size as the rest of the 5200 carts. Definitely the same shell as the rest of the Activision games for the 5200. Here's a pic of 5200 Pac-Man with 5200 Megamania and 2600 Megamania. Most likely you have an 8-bit computer cart.

jaybird3rd Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 That looks like the Atari 8-bit computer (400/800) version. The 5200 has a lot in common with the 8-bit computers, but its cartridges are totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you don't have your heart set on a single cart, you can always consider buying a multicart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
