cyberfluxor Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Is there additional explaining that goes along with this OP? Are you planning on buying one with X-Mas cash, peeked into a hidden stash, stealing it from someone, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I bet he's come up with some crazy plan to hijack Santa's sleigh, hoping that someone else out there asked for a 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But many of the good 2600 games were made for the 8-bit computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think so but you're original post sounded like you wanted a system to play 2600 carts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Well, 2600's are cheap as dirt anyway, so just pick one of those up sometime too (then get one of the programmable multicart solutions, I think the new one is the Harmony? (I'm out of touch). Playing 2600 games and playing 8-bit/5200 games are totally different experiences, I don't really think one can take the place of the other unless your only qualification is "old games".

segasaturn Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) I have a 5200 (4-port) with the * in the serial, so I didnt have to mod it, and I have the 2600 adapter. And congrats, I hope you have fun with it. Edited November 13, 2009 by segasaturn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ax it always works out. Ax is bar-none the best person to deal with in the classic game business. Always goes out of his way to make sure you're a happy camper.
