Decathlon

[sku_u]

Is Activision Decathlon any good? I can't get the ROM to work on my Emulator (the infamous Error of Type 3 on the MAC) so I have no idea what the game is like. I was also wondering how rare the 5200 version is since I've never seen one on Ebay.

It's a pretty good game, although I'm a track and field guy because I grew up with that game instead. I just played it the other night on my dreamcast emu so that's another way to go if you have a DC.

 

Type 3 error? I guess you aren't using MacOSX yet? Because I can get a lot of the 5200 games running on that new 800/5200 emu for OSX. I always had poor compatability in os9 with Jumbot and Mess.

 

I don't think its too rare, listed as 3 here but there are always common games that just don't show up on eBay for one reason or another. If you're looking to get it, there's some good dealers with plenty of 5200 stock listed in the dealers link here at AA.

I'm using 9.1. I can't update to OSX b/c there's too much software I use that is not supported by OSX.

which emulator are you using, because I have an old imac with 9.2.2 on it, and it runs Decth. without crashing. There's some ugly graphical glitches but it runs.

 

Are you using JumBot?

Indeed, I am using JumBot. It doesn't run all that well, though. My computer is a little on the buggy side. I'm in the process of switching over from my old computer to a new one that runs both OS 9.2.2 and OSX simultaneausly depending on the software I'm running.

I can't tell you how many 5200 controllers I broke with this game

 

I LOVE it!!!!
