Whatever happened to Klax?

Well, @BIGHMW claims to have the ROM; so, maybe he can post a review on his channel.

 

As a matter of fact I have the entire library of ROMs of the Mean Hamster titles, and even though I have never played any of them I'll indeed give them all a spin and maybe post a review on The Atari 5200 SuperReport as soon as I get my (proverbial) head out of my duff and finally do the in-game voiceovers on "Space Assailants 2121" (Episode 3) and "Turmoil" (Episode 4) in which is the only thing I have yet to do on those episodes, they were filmed a month ago, but not posted due to lack of motivation caused by the lack of viewership of my channels and the low numbers related to it.

 

It's hard to "keep posting away" when you get SO discouraged due to and by poor-to-low viewership and subscription numbers, so help a brother out AND SUBSCRIBE!!!

I also USED TO own some of those games on cartridges (Klax was one of them, along with Combat 2: Advanced, and also Haunted House 2 3D) before I sold them both due to already having the ROMs and an Atarimax to run them on and also because I needed the $$$ as well, in that big liquidation I had in 2019 of my entire 5200 cartridge library and some of my accessories.

If you do a review on the rare games like the Hamster titles, you should get more views and supporters. I'll definitely watch.

Have the Mean Hamster games been ported to the 8-bit computer?  It's not convenient for me to have my 5200 connected and I despise the controller.  I'd like all the 5200 stuff on the computer since that's where the better multi-cart options also are.

I think the problem is that the ROMs are not in the hands of those who'd be likely to do the conversions. Homesoft ( @nobody ) needs to be sent copies of these.

I have a copy of klax in the original box that mean hamster and Atari 2600.com. Did together. I have listed it on eBay starting at 125.00

Thanks for posting that up. I got the Boulder dash homebrews recently and snagged this from you. 
 

were those the only homebrews for 5200 other than the newer stuff on atariage.

It seems a 5200 port was released 20 years ago, but has now vanished from the Earth. Is it available anywhere? 

Here ya go:
