+Ryan Witmer Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I was listening to this while working on my next 5200 game, and then you guys started talking about me working on my next 5200 game, thus the circle was completed. Oh, and that should have been my Gorf. Next time Gadget, next time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and that should have been my Gorf. Next time Gadget, next time. Thanks for listening. Dont forget your company is now called Above Average Software. I hope you can work things out to get overlays for Curling and your next game. I would even like a set for my Ratcatcher . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ryan Witmer Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 That whole discussion made me realize how few overlays I have. I'm only missing 10 games now, and I only have overlays for Star Raiders and Tennis. Star Raiders was the only set of overlays I actually cared about, though.

These were the two overlays I used while playing baseball. The are not original. One made by Phil Boland and the other with 3D buttons made in Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Listened to the episode on my way to Orlando. Another nice episode, guys! I heard mentioned about a self-centering kit for the 5200 controllers possibly being released. That would be really awesome to get if it does happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Alexander Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Curt Vendel reveals new controllers for the 2600, 7800 and the 5200 with analogue self centering.

David Alexander Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Curt Vendel indicates that his new 5200 controller will have a keypad, "Absolutely... unfortunately I have no way of allowing the use of the overlays at this time... these are generic numeric keypads I'm using so people will have to place the overlay close to it for reference..."

David Alexander Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Decided to put some time into playing Tile Smashers. 5200 Tile Smashers.jpg I dont have the game yet.

+sramirez2008 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It’s a nice mix of Breakout and Pinball. The power ups are a nice feature, but unless I missed something, the difficultly never reaches a point where you’re game ends. If you look at my screenshot, I had 22 balls (lives) left. I was on Stage 18, which is where the game starts to repeat the stages, but in random order. Since I stopped at this level, I can’t confirm that the difficulty ramps up any further. I will say that the game plays well with the stock controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
