S1500 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I remember the CV brotherhood from THE SPACE BOSS on the usenet group. Yeah, he was a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm in. I've been a fan of the 5200 since it was released (although I traded it in for an Atari 400 within a couple of months...does that disqualify me?). I've never had a problem with using the controllers (but I do really, really appreciate the BEST Electronics gold upgrade). I prefer to play Star Raiders on the 5200 rather than the A8, and I even prefer playing Pac-Man on the 5200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that grab ya? I think the controllers are great too! I'd rather use them over the Wico and Masterplay Interface… both which are collecting dust on my shelf… only other controller that I use regularly is the 5200 trak-ball… makes games like Centipede, Missile Command, Galaxian, Space Invaders on the 5200 superior over ALL other versions! I've also left my four-port 5200 on for well over 72 hours straight and no fires reported… I'd rather play the 5200 version of games over all other versions (only exception is Kaboom! - until I get myself a 5200 paddle controller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should make it "5200 Broderbund" just so it is even more retro/geeky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcfrick2112 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 OK, add another to the 5200 Brotherhood! My only complaint about the 5200 is.. I have to 'service' my controllers about once per year.. beyond that, I really love the system... I have a 4-port, with the weird switchbox thingy (the technical term, LOL) and it works flawlessly! I just have always loved the arcade conversions for the 5200... I also lucked out... I got a 5200, complete in smooshed box, all inside boxes, manuals, and catalogs + a Q*Bert bare cart. for $25 at a resale shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinKarpis Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I love the 5200 so much that I own a 2 port and a 4 port Both work and all 4 controllers rock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know, (March) 2012 is the 30th anniversary of the 5200. sounds like a good reason to release another homebrew,eh? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
