jboypacman Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I like the ideal of a bowling game.It could be a somewhat updated version of Atari 2600 bowling something like they did with Super Breakout for the 5200 vs the 2600 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SINGLE TOOTH Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I second Bowling. A fishing game maybe? But I would like to see a RPG type game. Would the 5200 be able to side-scroll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfluxor Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 A bowling game using the trackball would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, all we need is a programer! If you look at Jungle Hunt or Pitfall 2 both has side scroll. I wouldn't mind seeing Fishing Derby 2 for the 5200. As for RPG type game maybe like King Quest or Zelda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do agree there are some great 2600 games that would be great on the 5200. (with better graphics of course.) I'd like to see Intellivision Shark Shark and a Hockey game on the 5200. A bowling game would be cool also. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Pitfall 2 most certainly DOES scroll, at least vertically. Can't recall if there's proper horizontal scrolling. Jungle Hunt does horizontal scroll, though. As does Defender. And Super Cobra(too bad the game is coded to be unplayable with stock controllers). And undoubtedly a few others.

Yeah, It vertically scrolls , but not side to side. Can make a difference. Either way, it would be cool to see a platformer type game.

+Cafeman Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 5200 has "scroll registers" built into the ANTIC video chip hardware. And lots of 5200 games feature some scrolling, such as Moon Patrol, even crappy old James Bond 007! Pitfall II was ported from the 2600 version, and might not use the ANTIC hardware scrolling but be hard-coded as it was done for the 2600.

As for RPG type game maybe like King Quest or Zelda. Not sure about Jungle Hunt, but Pitfall II does not side scroll. Yeah, Pitfall 2 is just like the 2600 game (well, except the whole second level thing) But the first of the game does the same as the 2600, flip to the next screen when you hit the edge. Jungle hunt does side scroll, and I'm sure doesn't have to use the same 'sprite' trick to get that affect like the 2600 does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I always thought of doing a "sequel" to Countermeasure that would play like Blaster Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari5200 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 i would like to see a game like Geometry wars, Retro mode on the 360 seems like it would be very doable on the 5200, especially if it can already do a game like Tempest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchman2000 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I was thinking of doing a 5200 Hockey game after Tempest is done. Interesting that Atari never did RealSports Hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is new to me -- care to explain the 'sprite' trick? The trick was to have the two levels of playfield graphics (the tree foliage and vines above and the bushes and coral below) to create the illusion of side-scrolling movement while the solid sky-blue background actualy remained static. The same trick was pulled of even more convincingly in Parker Brother's TESB with the snow speeder moving in both directions, a very great achievment there.

MIKE5200 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Another one would be Pooyan. They have one for the 2600 but not for the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
