UberArcade Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I am guessing they are still being shipped out because I haven't gotten mine yet. Kind of weird to see it already for sale secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Received mine yesterday. First, I liked the art on int. Then, the music on starting is really good. I also liked the sprites of the heroes. The scrolling has the limitations we already know, but I think you can get used to it (played with warrior till level 18). It's just me or is difficult to start a 2 player game? Because I have to start a single player, then use the 2 player joystick to select a hero and then hit the fire buton to start the player 2. One thing that I noticed is that the player 2 shot has the shape of a square, unlike the player 1. Also, sometimes the player shot dissapear. Haven't tried two player yet. To pause the game, you hit "pause", to resume, "start". Overall, I think it's a great work and would like to say thank you to Mean Hamster/Ziggystar.

peedenmark7 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 So can anyone clarify whether this is available through the programmer or not ? I guess if its going to be an option on the 5200 HSC club in the last 2 rounds, and pressing hard for a 3rd place finish, I guess I have to bend over.

7800 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Just played this on my SD cart... Not impressed. Title screen and music was cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Just played this on my SD cart... Not impressed. Title screen and music was cool though. I think using the memory in the SD cart an awesome Gauntlet could be made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Unit Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I would love a good translation of Gauntlet on the 5200! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm watching this on YouTube and it seems to be quite different than the Domark/US Gold version for the Atari 8-Bit computers. The theme music is from Gauntlet II which is cool because it was a better theme anyway. Scrolling may be "bad" but it doesn't look worse than the commercial 8-Bit version. I'm impressed. Here's a vid of the 5200 version: And here's the terrible XL/XE version: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Dude! Why is this not a thing? If this were in the AA store i'd be all over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Here's a clearer recording of the demo version. Not perfect, but still otay!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3uI6P3Qz5c&feature=youtu.be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Unit Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Dude! Why is this not a thing? If this were in the AA store i'd be all over it. Absolutely! Why is there not a port of this for the 5200?!?!? Edited April 27, 2015 by Tron Unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Well, it is only 1 level. It's pretty obvious the 5200 needs some sort of RAM upgrade or figure out how to use RAM on the cartridge despite the cartridge port not having such lines on it [vs the 7800]. I wish I could remember the thread that CPU Wiz talked about custom cartridge PCBs for the 5200 with upgraded specs... Similar to what has been suggested for the 7800, it might be a good idea to figure out how to get Dark Chambers - from A8 - running on the 5200 and then skinning it with Gauntlet maps [say, using Ed Logg's maps from his NES version] and mod the rest. It would be a lot of work but totally kick ass if it was pulled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Absolutely! Why is there not a port of this for the 5200?!?!? Just to be clear, Gauntlet IS a port that exists, with multiple levels. Mean Hamster Software released this in 2012, as you can see from reading back a few pages on this very thread. It doesn't seem like MHS/ziggystar likes to keep their titles available for long, which makes most of their ten 5200 games hard to find now. In case anyone is curious, the ten games are: 5 ports of classic Atari computer 1980's First Star titles: Boulderdash Boulderdash 2 Flip and Flop Bristles Rent Wars 5 5200 homebrews: Haunted House II 3D Combat Two Klax AtariTris Gauntlet Flip and Flop is still listed for sale on atari2600.com. The rest of them are now REALLY tough to track down. Still looking for Boulderdash 2, Klax, and AtariTris myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I wouldn't mind buying it. I would need to get another 5200, but It's fun. Maybe offer a digital download of the ROM if you buy the cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Gauntlet was a hero's effort on the 5200, but RAM limitations kept this from being top notch. The 8bit version I think is better but obvious has access to more resources. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
