+evg2000 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Last week at CGE2k12 I spotted a 5-in-1 special version 1.0 MHS cart at the atari2600.com booth. I had never heard of it, and they wanted $30 for it so I picked it up. Searching atariage I was able to gather a little information, but does anyone have any idea how rare this is or how many were made? Best guess from searching is between 6-10 copies. Any info would be appreciated. thanks, Charles evg2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Fun little cart, I know it was a limited release for sure. Not sure as little as 10 though... I enjoy playing mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to guess based on this post: http://www.atariage....ge/#entry975437 seemed like on a few more mentioned order one after this post. there was also this post that made it sound very rare: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/121754-limited-production-runs-anyone-know-how-many/page__hl__+mean%20+hamster%20+5200?do=findComment&comment=1474746 Edited August 20, 2012 by evg2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just ask Ziggystar. Or AtariMax. Also, did anyone else find the hidden proto on the multicart? Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 why Atarimax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 why Atarimax? He designed the cart board and I believe built them as well. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaxda Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Wow, thanks for the flashback! I guess they are kinda rare, not a bad thing... Also found this thread: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/163058-mean-hamster-5200-games-new-cart-run/ Forgot all about AtariTris but just had a game, not bad at all. Not the greatest looking label art though. I wonder how many of these are out there too. there was also this post that made it sound very rare: http://www.atariage....00#entry1474746 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just ask Ziggystar. Or AtariMax. Also, did anyone else find the hidden proto on the multicart? Mitch I did, it's a WIP of Bryan's Castle Crisis. If it's on a regular chip, it can be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 That's pretty cool. Does it need to be disassembled, etc. or can a newb like me find it somehow? ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a way to unlock it from the menu. I won't say anymore to spoil it for you. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is selling one of these please let me know. Congrats Charles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Dogs Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 2005 was a great time to be into the 5200. There were a lot of conversions and new games like these being made. I haven't played mine in about three years. I might have to drag it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
