www.atarimania.com Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Just replaced the Looney Tunes Hotel file with another version. The RETURN key now mimics the second joystick button. Congratulations to Homesoft for the amazing work and kudos for sending us the replacement so promptly -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foebane Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Any chance of the 5200's E.T. game for the A8? I always loved that classic game. Honestly, any game than can kill off its parent company deserves a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 That was on the 2600, not the 5200. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be GREAT ports to the A8 - Counter Measure, and Space Dungeon Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found the XE version boring as hell... If you want a good BattleZone game for the 5200, look no further than Encounter!
