CaliColts Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Does anyone know if there was a multi-game demo cart for the In Store 5200 displays that were similar to arcade stand ups??? I cant remember if they just stuck a new game in every day or if it was a multi. Anyone Anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Theres no 5200 demo cart. I believe the Kiosks either used multiple cartridge slots (like the Spectravision Hotel Unit), or they were a single slot like the regular console. There's definetly no demo cart though (unless you count the Ticker Tape or Yellow Submarine demos). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliColts Posted March 23, 2002 Author Share Posted March 23, 2002 Thanks for the info, I guess I'll just have to change carts when I build one. Does anyone have good pics of a kiosk or display??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 You can log on to Atari-history.com, they have a nice section with kiosks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 The 5200 Kiosk only had a 4 port motherboard inside underneath the main cabinet area. I'm not aware of a multi-board design, however I think it was Marco K or Marc Oberhause (sorry if I'm misspelling that) who snagged a sweet load of Atari multi-rom kiosk system boards (all 2600, however he did snag a lot of schematics and who knows, maybe a 5200 multi-rom board was in the works) Now Sean Kelly teamed up with a programmer who just made what I would have to say is the best leap in multi-carts to date... a built in on-screen menu and if Sean is continuing his work across the board to his 5200 carts and others, then that would be the next best thing to see an onscreen menu for a 5200 multi-cart which would rock!
