TunnelRunner Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 There were a score of games that were rumored/scheduled to be ported to the 5200, and a hundred more that could have been. My list of "Wish They Were On the 5200": 1. Tunnel Runner (just a plain old nightmarish game with a scary theme) 2. Marble Madness (not a 2600, but Atari arcade game and hell..it's a Trak Ball game!) 3. Survival Island (eliminate the Supercharger loads) 4. Escape from the MindMaster/Dragonstomper (ditto) 5. Robot Tank (should have happened) Okay, you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walter_J64bit Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Just think of all the 2600 games the that could ported, that would make for a new Multicart you wouldn't need the 2600 Adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Time Pilot. There needs to be a better version that can handle the free-roaming motion without all the skips and pops of the CV port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Laser Gates. The game was actually ported to the Atari 400/800 with greatly enhanced graphics, so there's absolutely no reason the game couldn't be released for to the Atari 5200. 95% of the work is already done!

TheNixer Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Sorry...I read that wrong! You said 2600 to 5200, Cloak & Dagger was never a 2600 game. I guess my Cloak & Dagger love sprung too quick there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sprite Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 1. Journey Escape. A race across a field of glowing stars, with 4 channel 8 bit square wave form. 2. Communist Mutants From Outer Space. Also, the 5200 needs a Starpath upgrade option, since I'm making wishes... 3. ET - I want to see if there was the seed of a good idea buried in there. Runners up - 4. Halloween - The original Survival Horror Nemesis returns. 5. Superman - Because Superman without hair is proof Luthor won somehow. 6. Double Dragon - because the 7800 wasn't able to do it justice. Games that someone beat me to naming. 7. Yar's Revenge. 8. Solaris. Game I just thought of - 9. Night driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Circus. Steve (Classics) ported Clowns and Baloons onto his Multicart. Plays most excellent with a 5200 paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Kaboom.. definitely. Just think with the 5200's extra power how much an improvement can be made to that game! oh wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to have more details on this. Sorry, I don't know about Steve (Classics) and his multi-cart yet. A Circus-ish game would make for good play testing for an adapter I'm building and for a controller I'm developing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Ah, here it is: http://www.atarimax.com/usb5200/documentation/ [Edit]: Maybe not.

MIKE5200 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Warlords. Not the new stuff... just like the 2600 version. There use to be one called Castle Crisis but it got shot down. I think by legal problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Rampage would be nice. A few others: Bloody Human Freeway Dragonfire Fathom Subterreanea Frankensteins Monster Front Line - This would probably benefitted the most Night Driver Radar Lock Spacemaster X-7 Superman Tapper Taz Thrust Halloween Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelRunner Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 VentureCrazy Climber (w/dual controller holder) Crystle Castles (Trackball controll) Tempest Cloak and Dagger Sinistar Hockey Raiders of the Lost Ark Allan Allan...patience! Tempest is coming And Crystal Castles was ported from the 800 but I never tried the Trak Ball (doesn't work?). And yeah, I thought about Raiders too. Let's get Howard stoked up!

BigO Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Circus. Steve (Classics) ported Clowns and Baloons onto his Multicart. Plays most excellent with a 5200 paddle. Oh? I'd be happy to have more details on this. Sorry, I don't know about Steve (Classics) and his multi-cart yet. A Circus-ish game would make for good play testing for an adapter I'm building and for a controller I'm developing. Just figured out that it doesn't work to make an adapter and plug 2600 paddles into the 5200. Well, it does function, but the action is backward: turn left=move right. You'd have to rewire the paddle internally to pick up the other end of the potentiometer to make that work. Oh, well. There's no shortage of options. Besides, the lack of a second fire button on the paddle might have been a problem with some games anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest is coming And Crystal Castles was ported from the 800 but I never tried the Trak Ball (doesn't work?). And yeah, I thought about Raiders too. Let's get Howard stoked up! I know. I can even smell it now that it's so close. There are two version of CC for the 5200 but neither use the trackball. (Please somebody hack one of them.) I'd be happy if Howard would just either put out a 'Once Upon Atari -- The Cut (Lost) Interviews' or just right a book with more details. But yea a Raiders would be cool but probably impossible because it's a property. Maybe we can settle for a 5200 Yars Revenge. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
