Video Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I have not bought it yet as I have no working controller for the 5200, much less two. So it would kind of be useless for me, as I'm a gamer rather than a collector (I just happen to collect also ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Also I have never been able to enjoy the 5200 until recently because of the crappy controllers I have not bought it yet as I have no working controller for the 5200, much less two. OK guys, listen UP! I've had a standing offer available for 5200 controller exchange/repair here on AA for quite some time. I've done some business with a bunch of great people here who all were VERY HAPPY with the deal they got from me. Send me 1 complete (no missing parts) but non-working 5200 stick + $25 and you will get back 1 completely rebuilt stick (new rev 9 circuit , 2 new triple dot fire buttons, and a new Start/Pause/Reset pad). Your joystick will be calibrated and tested and will arrive to you in perfect working condition. The $25 also includes your return Priority shipping with confirmation. How can you go wrong? :wink: I also have rebuilt ones for direct sale, which I can do for better than my normal eBay prices, and 5200 joystick repair kits too. I can also do a completely cashless transaction like a 3 for 1 exchange. Please PM if you have any interest in these offers, as there is no need to suffer along with crappy controllers any more!!!

Rob Mitchell Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 OK guys, listen UP! ... Thanks anyway MrRetroGamer. I already have a solution .. I have made an interface box that allows me to plug a PC controller and the 2600 keyboard into the 5200. I may be making and selling these at the Atariage store.

Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA It sounds like you are almost making a Masterplay Interface. Why not allow the 5200 controller to be plugged in and use it's keybad, along with a PC controller? How many people own a 2600 keyboard anyway? I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Me either...is that the one that came with Star Raiders or whatever? I have been working on a PSX controller mod for the 5200, no luck though...lol..I might post some pics of the Dr. Frankestein type stuff I've done to my poor PSX controllers along the way...all in the name of science! lol Mock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hey, How much for the controllers with no trade in? Also, Combat II does have a 1 Player mode against a "phantom" tanks. If you play with the other options he can be quite fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Crap, I couldn't afford Combat yet. Now I'll never be able to get one unless it shows up on ebay?? That sucks. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Congrats on selling out your Combat II carts, I didn't get one though That sucks, Oh well, I'll just have to order one off Ebay if it ever pops up, or hope for a second run. As for controllers, I have no cash at the moment to afford controllers (or games for that matter) and that's just the fault of the econimy so I can't get a better paying job, or one with more hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legeek Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Bummer, I missed my chance. Please reconsider making more Combat II advanced carts. I just got a 5200 and would love to play it... Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bargora Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Please please please make more; I would like to get a Combat II also! I'd been "meaning to order one" for about a month now, but I had no idea it was such a limited run until I read about it today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Please please please make more; I would like to get a Combat II also!

Ditto for me, plus I was waiting to see what PC4 carts they'd have. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I vote no more carts...screw these guys... j/k guys.... :ducks and runs: Mock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 If it means that a great homebrewer will get his game out to more people, I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Weis Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 i just put in an order and missed combat advanced 2 (i was getting it for a friend) oh well i guess he's SOL!! take care, rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I just got my Combat 2 in today...very nice and I like the Gold label! Constructive criticism...you should have printed the manuals up on heavy high gloss paper and used a color photocopier...would have been a lot nicer...but just the fact it has a nicely done manual is good enough....very pleased with it....awesome game!!!

ziggystar Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 Glad you liked it. Irata's Quest will have a much nicer manual and a box this time. Irata's quest takes a special hand made hardware in order to work so I'm not sure how many I will make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I can't wait to get the manual for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Well...whatever you put out, put me on the order list...you did a great job with Combat II so I'm sold. Mock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 You know I'm in for Irata's Quest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 So you think it will be more than 32k. But it might be a save game feature? Can't have a "Zelda" type game without battery save! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 What about a multi-level game with each level being a "game". So you could skip through the levels if you want without a save. You know what I mean? Like the 2600 games like Telegames that has several games on one cart in essence. Might be kinda cool...you beat one level you just go to the next game...might save some space also.. Mock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
