dougy76 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Curious about who owns rarer 5200 hardware. I'd consider the rarer items to be the Masterplay Interface, Wico stick, Wico Keypad, Competition Pro Stick, and especially the GIM Fire Command stick. I have never seen the GIM Fire Command stick before on Ebay or anywhere. Does anybody have that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I think you'll find the Wico joysticks are not that rare, the keypads are though. In the last six months I've bought one Wico on ebay and have found two others in the wild. But that's all the semi-rare hardware I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only found a Competition Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I guess like carts certain items can be rarer or more common is some parts of the country. I've only been shopping for 5200 stuff in the last year and I've run into plenty of 5200 consoles, carts, and joysticks including the two Wicos. I'm in Tampa, FL btw.

cx2k Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I've never seen a GIM stick for the 5200 either. Also, I've seen rumor that GIM made a device similar to the Masterplay. I contacted them as they were based in NY and they claim that the sticks were indeed made so they're out there somewhere. As for rare hardware, I have a StarCon Arcade controller for the 5200.

+Cafeman Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I have a Masterplay interface. I've never tried it out, it's still in the box (which is the size of a game box). But I'm about ready to since my original 5200 sticks are pissing me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougy76 Posted February 10, 2003 Author Share Posted February 10, 2003 Thanks for the replies. Sounds like no one has the GIM Fire Command stick, which would make this the rarest, if it does indeed exist. I forgot about the 4-way adaptors. Sku_u, where did you get those?

sku_u Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I forgot about the 4-way adaptors. Sku_u, where did you get those? I got them on Ebay. The title description listed them as Joystick Couplers. Here's a picture I got off the old index of the Atarihq site of the GIM Joystick. They do exist, but I've never seen one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I have the following: Boxed Masterplay w/ Instructions and Extra Fire Button 3 5200 WICOs 2 5200 WICO Keypads 1 5200 WICO Y cable 2 Comp Pro JOysticks Set of 2 Control Guides w/ Instructions AND the extra clear protective discs AND I do have a Fire Command 4 button joystick. However, this one has a standard 9 PIN connector, and I do not see any way for it to attach to the 5200 without a separate Y cable. I will say that it DOES work with my Colecovision (separate fire buttons work as expected in 2 button games) and this does work with the 5200 when hooked up to the Masterplay. Everything I've seen on the internet on this model for the 5200 is very fuzzy, so I really don't know exactly what the story is with it. But, it's still cool!
