New Version of 5200 RS Basketball Discovered!

[Tempest]

Thanks to Canyon Fisher, I now have my hands on a completely new version of RS Baskebtall for the 5200. This version is actually an earlier version of the original version of the game (back when it was known as Basketball). Although this version is probably only of interest to prototype collectors, it's what I discovered next that shocked me. The later build of the original version of RS Basketball (not the version that everyone knows about with the scrolling text box) has a true four player mode! This makes it one of only four 5200 games to support four players. Be sure to check out the new information:

That is interesting. Maybe someone could try to finish it. It'd be great to have a 4 player version of this game.

A 4 player version would be great but the problem that I would have would be trying to get 3 other players and trying to find 4 working controllers.

Actually you'll need 6 working controllers to start.

 

At least two won't last beyond the first five minutes.

Before I forget, here's the rom (the 4 player version).
