+Mitch Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I didn't buy a M.U.L.E. when I should have (5200.) Is the NES version close? If not, whats the 5200 version run? The 5200 version is a straight conversion of the Atari 800 version. I haven't played the NES version. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazer Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Where is the 5200 MULE conversion, anyone have it to share? (Think Xmas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I think that was one of the games converted and put on cart but never dumped as a rom. I could swear I read that here in another thread when looking for the Fast Eddie conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I think that was one of the games converted and put on cart but never dumped as a rom. I could swear I read that here in another thread when looking for the Fast Eddie conversion Bryan did make a limited edition run of MULE cartridges. He also released the rom image, you can find it here: http://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/forum/viewtopic.php?t=329 Probably in a forum post here too, somewhere.

Lord Thag Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I like the 5200/8-bit version better. I have both. The NES one looks funky, and looses most of the charm of the original IMHO. The music on the the 5200 one is great, one of the most memorable tunes of the era. Used to get it stuck in my head after we had a neighborhood get together to play it as a kid.

Mayhem Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 The only thing that equals the Atari version is the C64 version naturally. Though the SID music on the game is a classic too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C64 version is missing something IMO. I think the music is better on the Atari version, and the graphics are "shinier" somehow. Especially evident in the intro.

thomasholzer Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) I was just gonna say that, I have both versions, C-64 and XL; they screwed up the C-64 title music, and the gameplay wins on the XL slightly.

Urchlay Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 C64 version is missing something IMO. The 4-player mode? Only 2 joystick ports on the 64... or was there some workaround for it? (Paddles, keyboard?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Paddles, keyboard?) C64 uses keyboard for two of the players during the buy/sell part. I think you trade joysticks with players 1 or 2 during your actual turn IIRC.

Mayhem Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yep, you just use one joystick during the land sections. During auction, you have two sticks and two keyboard if need be. If I get myself a 5200, I'll be able to compare C64 to Atari then finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
