I actually got a brand new Power Pad sealed in it's box with the solo World Class Track Meet cartridge enclosed from the official Nintendo website store a few years ago. My wife and I tried it out once, then I boxed it up and it now sits in the closet with my console boxes.
The only reason I would have to bring it out again would be if someone would make a homebrew title for it. Otherwise, there it will stay...

Sorcerer? Did that one got ported to the NES? I got a NES cart with that name about a wizard and this isometric maze. It has neat NES graphics but is hard as hell!
No, Sorcerer is a piece of crap that I rather enjoy. I think the one you're talking about is either The Immortal or Solstice.

Thanks, Mitch! I sent you an email and a PM.

I was just reading the other post about how to insert the 4 port BIOS into the 2 port, and this is something that I would really like to try. Are there any other places to get the 4 port BIOS chip other than just getting a 4 port 5200? Like a parts website or something?

Here's a scary one: Sorcerer - Atari 2600
I really find it to be quite addictive. Maybe that music has hypnotic qualities or something.

Thanks for the tips guys! It seems like it could very well be the switch. I'm generally pretty good with system repair, so I may open it up and take a look. This is just the first ColecoVision experience I've had. No one had one around me as a kid, and all I had growing up was the 2600 and later the NES, Genesis, etc. So, I'm not really familiar with the possible problems.
Another thing, I got all of the games to work except Rocky and Buck Rogers. Rocky gets to the screen where you select if you want to be Rocky or Clubber and when I select a number on the keypad, it breaks up and crashes every time. I've never seen a cartridge based game do this. I mean PC games, sure. And Buck is just a black screen. It never starts or gets to a difficulty selection screen or anything. Any ideas here? I guess it could still be the switch, it just seems odd that Rocky only crashes at that same point every time. After I choose any number. I guess I could open the cartridges up and take a look, but the labels are really nice and clean, so I hate to mess them up to get to the screws. And the contacts look quite clean. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

I just got a ColecoVision lot off of eBay including the console, two regular controllers, 2 Super Action controllers, the Racing Wheel (Expansion Module 2) and 23 games. I got everything cleaned up and started testing games. Most games work pretty well, but the system is pretty touchy about others. I think it must be the cartridge slot on the console itself, because the games seems pretty clean. Is this a common problem with the ColecoVision? I mean, I know it's 22 years old, but I was just curious if this system in particular is really sensitive in this area? I tried cleaning the slot but am having a hard time thinking of something thin enough to fit in there rather well. And no, I haven't tried shoving my dick in it. Just thought I would get that joke out of the way!
(Boy, maybe I have an unhealthy obsession? 
) Anyone have any serious ideas? -
Really? Okay then. Thanks again!

I did see that one on 4jays, but I assumed it was the out of date version with the switches and not the menu driven version. Thanks for pointing it out though.
And if I want Bounty Bob, I know the Multicart will not be able to help me. Thanks for the added input!

Excellent! Thanks for the tip.

I know Sean Kelly has sold 5200 Multi-carts in the past. Does he still sell them? Does anyone else have any ideas on where I could obtain one?

Thanks for the info!

Hey, I'm new to AtariAge (although I did buy a copy of Berzerk: Voice Enhanced at their booth at the 2002 Classic Gaming Expo, I believe), and new to the Atari 5200. I must say that I absolutely love the system. However, I have a two-port model and have heard that there are a few games that will not work on that model, like Pitfall!, for example. Is this true? And if so, what other games may I have a problem with?

Looks like I jumped into this a little late, but oh well...
Atari 2600:
2 woodgrain, non-heavy sixers (aka non-big sexys
), 1 "Darth Vader" w/box, 87 games (not counting multiple copies).
Atari 5200:
2 port version w/box. Just Pac-Man (and a Multicart on the way!).
Atari 7800:
w/box and 7 games.
Atari Jaguar:
w/box and 7 games.
ColecoVision:
w/Super Action Controllers, Racing Wheel and 23 games.
NES:
1 Front loader w/box, 1 Top loader and 332 games not counting multiples.
SNES:
Original model w/box and 37 games.
Nintendo 64:
w/box and 8 games.
GameCube:
w/box Game Boy Player and 12 games.
Game Boy:
1 Japanese GBA w/box and Afterburner light kit installed, 1 GBA SP w/box and 39 GB, GBC and GBA games.
Sega Master System:
Original model and 42 boxed games.
Sega Genesis:
Original model w/box, Original front loading Sega CD, 32X add-on w/box and 76 boxed Genesis games, 1 unboxed, 6 boxed 32X games and 6 boxed Sega CD games.
Sega Saturn:
w/box and 4 boxed games.
Sega Dreamcast:
w/box and 11 games.
Turbo Duo:
w/box and 6 games.
PlayStation:
Original model w/box and 36 games.
PlayStation 2:
w/box and 17 games.
Xbox:
w/box and 11 games.
My favorites are the NES, 2600, Genesis and Turbo Duo. Current generation favorite is the Xbox. The last(?) classic console that I really want to get is an Intellivision. By the way, I have every console (except multiples) hooked up to one television via multiple switch-boxes. Just a few button presses and any of them are ready to go. No wire switching needed! They all reside in a custom made entertainment center that I designed, which unfortunately is pretty much full. I should be able to squeeze in an Intellivision. And when any new consoles come out, I'll just be screwed.
