+Allan Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) Hello Folks, Raven1280 and myself have created a mock-up 'what-if' manual for the Atari 5200 game Blaster using Atariboy2600's original Blaster graphics he re-created. Albert has graciously put it up on Atariage for all to download, print out and display with their Blaster cartridges. http://www.atariage.com/5200/misc/Finale_5...ster_Manual.zip Enjoy, Allan Edited September 5, 2008 by Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) Archive is not valid. How about a Blaster BIN too? Edited December 9, 2006 by tjlazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven1280 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Can someone burn me a ROM chip of this game. I'll pay for the ROM and the service of buring it. I dont have the money to buy a full repo cart. So if someone can help me out with the burning that would be great. Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Sure pmail me. Keep in mind if you get the pixels past board you need the one w/o the socket if you plan on using it in a 5200 case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Sure pmail me. Keep in mind if you get the pixels past board you need the one w/o the socket if you plan on using it in a 5200 case. Nice! So what would it take to modify a space invader cart (which is currently dead) and modify it to accept a eprom? I don't need many games for the 5200... happy with Star Raiders, Space Dungeon, and Blaster would be nice OTHER addition. The 5200 is good for flight games I'm finding.

The board in Space Invaders uses a 24 pin prom. Not enough room for a 28 pin eprom. BTW try cleaning the teeth with alcohol, typically does the trick. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 You have to buy a Pixels Past cartridge board from here (look in the store) and then you can solder in a 28pin EPROM 32k and get Blaster to run. You use an old case (your space invaders game) and print out a label. All done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) I found this in a 1980's K-Power issue. If you look at the picture you'll see an Atari 800 behind Eugene. I'm willing to bet this is the actual 800 that the 8-bit/5200 Blaster was developed on. Allan Edited February 14, 2007 by Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariksi Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Can someone burn me a ROM chip of this game. I'll pay for the ROM and the service of buring it. I dont have the money to buy a full repo cart. So if someone can help me out with the burning that would be great. Raven It's quite simple to burn a ROM of Blaster w/o any soldering skills at all. Here's how I did it. Bought the board from Pixels Past with the socket for 27256 EPROM (32K). Ignore the jumper as you only need that if you use the 27512 chip and want to use it for two games in one (2 32K ROMs in one EPROM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
