bohoki Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 just curious about the games without keyboard ovarlays has anyone ever made overlays for them? also couldn't atari send out a memo to try and keep * for 1-2 player # for level to keep a little consistancy its reversed from pacman to ms pacman oh some examples berzerk and vanguard should have had overlays i pretty much just use the overlays as quick reference cards anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yea, I wish they made more also. There is a Rescue on Fractulas overlay here on Atariage as well. One of these days I want to make overlays for the rest of the games. It would be nice to have them made in plastic but we'll just have to settle for thick paper. I'll have to try lamenating them.

+Cafeman Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I had thought about making overlays for 5200 homebrews but it never reached fruition. quickie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 why keep the plain design of standard atari 5200 overlays? love em or hate em, intellivision overlays were a bit more inspired in the design department, and a game like adventure II deserves the same respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm only 22% artistically inclined, and then again only on Tuesday, so I can't design what you're talkin' bout, Willis. Somebody want to mock one up? One that we could print out on (what kind of stock/paper could you use?) our printers? I always thought those overlays were pretty cool. IN fact, I am kicking myself for not having them for my 2 homebrews in the past. Another way to distinguish the 5200 product from the A8 version!

RangerG Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I love the idea of an "orphan overlay" set for the 5200. If anyone makes a set, please contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way to distinguish the 5200 product from the A8 version! ok for artsy sake how about the aarcade instruction card too yea all that space devoted to nothing but blackness they coudl put some instructions or quick tips like in galaxian how you can hit them with the energy sword is this the only version where you can do that? as to what to print them out on use a laser printer and the overhead projector plastic its good cause the blackness covers the clearness pretty well Edited December 31, 2008 by bohoki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
