From José Wonder007:

 

 

“…I have the complete code for the atari 5200 Madden football game (it was a throw in to a big 2600 proto deal I completed years ago) . I just need to transfer the data so that it can be played. I am not really a 5200 guy, do you think it is worth pursuing?…”

I wasn't aware that was public knowledge.

I’d like to give it a try.

Yes, we’ve got it, but we’ve been sitting on it for years now. It’s too much work and nobody wants to do it.

I volunteer

What's the major work? Do you have to type it in?

That or OCR it.  I believe it's just a print out.  I wonder how complete it is?

Someone needs to do it for this:

I’d love to give it a try.

Firstly, appreciate whoever Al Arroyo is in providing this history to all of us, and to Thomas for tweaking.  Another lovely writeup from Tempest as well.  Amazing that a game developed in the 70s was still waiting to be found!  This build is several months older than I am.

This went kind of unnoticed ha ha.  Would love to see that happen.

I sure hope that you guys can give this a try @Dutchman2000  @Wonder007 .  Since OCR usually doesn't work well with code/dot matrix printouts, this would have to be entered by hand. I would certainly volunteer to type part of it in. Having a bunch of people type sections of code in would make it less daunting.

I haven’t heard anything about this yet, but I’d love to try my hand at typing this in.
