orrimarrko Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know if these two games were made in to reproduction carts? Just curious. I don't think that I've seen pics of these two, but if they've been done, please let me know. Thanks, Orri- Edited June 7, 2006 by orrimarrko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Does anyone know if these two games were made in to conversion carts? Just curious. I don't think that I've seen conversions of these two, but if they've been done, please let me know. Thanks, Orri- Do you mean converted to the Atari 800? They do exist for the 5200.

I meant conversions for the 5200. I know they exist in proto form (like asteroids.) What I was wondering was if they had been made available in cart form recently (within the past couple of years.) Also, does anyone know who did the Tapper conversion? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Also, does anyone know who did the Tapper conversion? Thanks! I did a conversion and I think Classics did too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orrimarrko Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think that I may have my terminology messed up a little. Please correct me if I'm wrong... A "conversion" would be taking a game that was not originally made for the 5200 (for example) and converting the original format into one that can be played on the system. For example: Atlantis, Donkey Kong, Tapper. A "reproduction" would be taking the original 5200 proto to reproduce the game and make it available in cart format. For example: Super Pac-Man, Millipede, Asteroids. Do I have this right? If so, then I'm asking about reproductions. Was a reproduction cart made for Real Sports Basketball and or Track & Field? I probably have this messed up... Thanks again for your help! Orri- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think Classics at www.atarimax.com sells some individual 5200 carts of some of his conversions. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
