JagFan422 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I read somewhere that some homebrew games for the 5200 are no longer allowed to be distributed. The list I found was Combat II Haunted House II Castle Crisis Is this true? Also, if someone could help me, i read that there were remakes of Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. googling didn't help much, i couldn't find anything about if they are available to buy or not, were these actually ported from 8-bit to 5200? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list I found was Combat II Haunted House II Castle Crisis Is this true? Yes, MHS has discontinued those. You might be able to find a few still in stock at atari2600.com, but after those are sold I don't think there will ever be any more. There was a MHS Multi-Cart released a few months ago that had those games, but as far as I know, there are no plans to make any more of those.

I can make these for you for same price as the other homebrew carts listed at the free shipping sale URL below. Atari2600 had some conversions for sale at one point, but I don't know if they still have any. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari_2600_master Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 to find the games your looking for go on ebay, then go into the video games section and under the list of companies pick atari then type in donkey kong and it will show you all of the games with that title.

I don't think anyone is selling the 5200 version of Donkey Kong on eBay, especially since this was not an "official" release from Atari back in the 80's.

You can't do that. Wait a minute, I was thinking of the Jaguar Battlesphere Uber Gold edition. Go ahead and make the games. (If I only had the Uber Gold Edition.)

Did you do a search for the 5200 version on eBay??? Did you see any for sale recently??? The best advice to the original poster is to talk to Albert or Classics, I'm sure they have some good info for you about your original question.
