Cool! I didn't know about these. I'm guessing they are long gone?

 

These sort of things are only gone, when you run out of parts to make them. ;)

 

Or out of patience, I don't feel like making Sirius & Plutos carts for a while. LOL

I have not tried it with a digital controller, but I imagine it would work fine. If you buy a copy and it doesn't work well, I'd be glad to take the game back.

Price and how many are in stock?

 

Looks like an interesting game; I have no experience with the original A8 version.

 

Speaking of various controllers and 5200 games, has anyone tested 5200 Tempest with a Rotary Controller mod or is the Trak-Ball considered the end-all for that version?

It's all good. I have the game on my Atarimax anyway. It's more important that I can at least play the game rather than have a hard copy of it.

What he said. :)

 

Probably just one. :) I'll put the word out over on Facebook for those who might not also be members over here for whatever crazy reason. I may have to conserve some finances at the moment now that Howard Scott Warshaw has been confirmed to be in town next Friday for a Q&A just in case some Atari: Game Over movie posters become available on short notice.

 

As for 5200 Tempest, does it work with a modded rotary controller?

So what's the deal with these Oil's Well carts?

 

Do I need to be part of a secret society to get one?

 

Why the cryptic responses to people who express interest in one?

 

Why are they not in the AtariAge store?

Am I being cryptic? :D Anyone who wants one in the US can PayPal me $28 and I'll ship a cart out to them in a box via First Class Mail. If you're outside the US, let me know and I'll figure out the postage.

 

I haven't put 5200 reproduction carts in the AtariAge Store, not sure that I will, as I'd prefer to focus on homebrew games and reproductions that get the full treatment (box, manual, etc.) However, I'm glad to make high-quality reproduction carts for unreleased prototypes for those who want them.

I should ask since this is an A8 conversion if the keypad is used for anything. :)

That's a good question -- does the Atari 8-bit version use the keyboard for anything? I did play the game for a bit on the 5200, but it's been so long since I played the Atari 8-bit version I don't remember now. I didn't actually try pressing any of the keypad buttons on the 5200 keypad.
