King Atari Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Okay, did a post about the 7800 one, now I need to know about the 5200 version. How does it play & sound? Is it worth picking up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 The game is very playable with the 5200 joysticks. It also has some added features not present in the arcade version. Given that you could probably find the game for about $5, I'd say it's worth getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voiddweller Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Okay, did a post about the 7800 one, now I need to know about the 5200 version. How does it play & sound? Is it worth picking up? The gameplay is very similar to the arcade. I think the only exception I can think of is a missing level....but I'm not an expert on the arcade version... The sounds and graphics are very good. As far as cooperative and adversarial play goes, this is one of the best for the 5200! When my brother and I were kids, it was played the most. The others were Joust, Kaboom!, and Ballblazer. Of course, I'm not counting the sports games...and for good reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Oh yeah, it's a great 5200 game, especially 2-player. Bounce your opponent into that crab, then blurt out HAW HAW HAW HAW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted October 20, 2002 Author Share Posted October 20, 2002 Sounds like a good one. Maybe I'll save up a little cash and buy a sealed one off of ebay . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Get burned by a fireball and find out. I'd say that overall, the best games for the system are the ones that are really easy to find. Centipede, Pac Man, Dig Dug, Moon Patrol, Defender just to name a few. Don't buy into the hype about a lot of the harder to find games.

calamari Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 5200 Mario Bros is way better than the 7800 version. Definitely grab a copy. calamari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
