doyman Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Ok, like my last question, if you could create any classic game on the 5200, what would you make? I would make an Ultima 1-3 cart with a battery backup to save the player. Or Elevator Action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenfused Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Some possible future conversions were/are: Encounter (16K cassette version) Speedway Blast Fort Apocalypse Cosmic Tunnels Oil's Well Vegas Poker Also, I didn't completely ignore the 5200 since I did do digital joystick hack for Gorf. Any cartridge that requires only 16K of RAM or any 16K cassette game is a good candidate. Someone get RAM working on a 5200 cart where the read/write addresses can be at the same address like someone has managed to do on the 2600, and a lot more stuff would be more easily possible. --Ken Edited February 7, 2007 by kenfused 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickHarrisMaine Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 How about more Zaxxons? You never see these in the wild or on eBay and if you do, its for top dollar. And I've heard it scrolls much smoother. One of my all time faves.... That said, maybe Time Pilot or 1942? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 What I find funny in seeing a thread like this, is all the 5200 haters who claim the system sold so poorly because the initial releases were nothing but old tired arcade conversions already out of date or they were already done on the 2600. Yet, half the responses here are just that, people wanting to see how an arcade game would look and play on the 5200. HHHmmmmm... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think of the 5200, I think of games that benefit from the unique part of the system, being the 360 directional controllers. Star Raiders and Space Dungeon rock on this system. Hmmm... how about some RPG's, like RETURN OF HERACLES, or CAP'N MAGNETO from the early Macs? That would be the direction I would take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, for me the 5200 is more of a gaming maching. Yeah, that's nostalgia. My first 5200 was back in 82 (83?) when they first came out. My first 800 was 2 yrs ago. and, in addition to the games you mentioned, Centipede, Missile Command, and Robotron are awesome on the 5200 (see? again....arcade ports) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Funny how most of the best games for the 5200 and 7800 are arcade ports. Same with the Colecovision. Of course, thats what we all wanted back in the day...to play arcade games at home. The systems with the best home exclusives are the 2600 and the Inty IMHO.

I wondered when/if someone would say this, as it what I was thinking when I posted it. But it is consistent with how games come out. How many different Mario Brothers games are there? How many Metroids, Castlevanias, Call of Duties, Splinter Cells, Zeldas, can you make? If you reduce them to the lowest common denominator, they are basically the same game. Look at Yars, and Asteroids, both space shooters, but completely different. I've lost my train of thought. Those of you who follow what I am saying cool, if not disregard.
