@Ryan Witmer Thanks so much Ryan for making this happen on the Atari 5200. Now us Atari 5200 owners can play a Tron themed game on our own console and have the fun that the Intellivision guys had on theirs just with better controllers . I have purchased every game you have made for the 5200 and looking forward to the next.

+1.  Ordered my copy of Intellidiscs as soon as it became available.  Looking forward to Rob 'n' Banks too.

Always happy to spread the 5200 joy to Canada.  This game has been kicking around in my head for a long time and it's great to finally have it done.  Thanks for the preorders, I'll try to keep them coming.

I think Rob 'n' Banks might be playable pretty soon, which is really great.  I also have a nice roadmap that includes two more projects.  Not going to spoil those yet, though.

  I've started a thread to keep everyone updated on the production of all the new pre-order games, including Intellidiscs.  I'm also posting photos as items arrive, such as the boxes, manuals, labels, posters, and other items once I've received them!  

 

 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Keypad overlays, guys.  For real!

So I bought this game for the 5200 for when that comes out.   Is there a Atari 8-bit computer port yet?

Yes there is, in fact hours after Ryan got finished with the final version of this, Homesoft converted it, and I have it as well since I once owned an XEGS as well as a 5200, so here it is!!!

I’m really looking forward to this game.  Pretty cool that the 5200 will have a version of this game, including overlays. 🙂

Awesome, thanks for the photos!  Hope you have fun with Intellidiscs!

 

Btw, you should remove that protective film from your controllers.
