cyberfluxor Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I wasn't too sure where to place this but I'm sure the right people will catch this. I found an auction last night on eBay for Asteroids (5200) and I'm not familiar with the reproductions or anything really. I saw some other cartridge repros after searching around online but didn't come across this type. Any light to be shown on this? I doubt it's the real thing but even so at least someone can have a chance to buy it. Also there are only 27 views on the auction so I am under the assumption not many AA users have looked at it.

+Psionic Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Definitely a repro (in a Parker Brothers case no less). I just messaged the seller and asked him where he got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfluxor Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 I messaged the seller last night about if it was a repro and where they got it from, still haven't received a response. Oh well, at least I know what it is now, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Asteroids is worth $28? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Me: Did you make this repro yourself, or did you get it from somewhere else? If so, where? Seller: No, I bought it with a bunch of other 5200 games. Because I already have one I'm selling it... Best answer you're going to get, I guess. Anyways, yes it is a repro.

cyberfluxor Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Asteroids is worth $28? Apparently it's worth the price in parts, which I guess isn't much. Makes sense and is kinda funny this person has 2 repros, or does he/she even know? I'm currious about the pricing though, maybe the "estimated selling price" eBay gives told them $28 is a good amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'd be glad to make a 5200 Asteroids cartridge sporting a label with original artwork we created, in a proper Atari cartridge for $25 plus shipping: I have some other 5200 games of this nature as well.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Helmet Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 The controls really suck on the 5200 version. I wonder if a little hacking could fix that? I suppose its just the non centering controller. I have this rom on my flash cart and it really is unplayable imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfluxor Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yeah, I'd expect Asteroids to play like crap for the 5200 but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
