Syfo-Dyas Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 http://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=334 Was this ever ported and released to the 8-bit computer? I'd love to have a chance to play it without owning one of those huge clunky 5200's with their awkward video interfaces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Not that I know of... some people doing stuff on 5200 just want nothing to do with the computer scene. But on the other hand, witholding from the computer makes the chance of the game being pirated somewhat less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Was there ever a full dump of the 5200 game? I have the demo only.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 If they'd intended for everyone to be able to play it, they'd have released a ROM image. By copying it against the programmer's wishes, all you'd accomplish is helping to kill new program development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syfo-Dyas Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'd be quite happy to pay for XL/XE compatable XEX image. Quite happy indeed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) It was a while back but I think a demo version did come out. As much as you and others would pay for an XEX, you'd probably be outnumbered 20:1 by others that wouldn't. Also, I think there's some arrangement with Atari that gave them permission to use the name - it could be that it came with the proviso of a 5200 only release.

Albert Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hopefully that means atari not c=64, Spectrum, BBC etc Yes, an Atari 8-bit version. It would take significantly more work to port this to another platform entirely. Atari 8-bit fans are not going to be disappointed. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syfo-Dyas Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Albert: Can't wait, very exciting! Mclaneinc: No, his dog and I had Pavlov taken out so that he wouldn't intervene between us and our passions ever again. And before anyone critiques my non-traditional love for this dog, I just want you to know that I got the gene, so back off! ;P Edited October 24, 2010 by Syfo-Dyas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Put me down for "excited," as well. I would *much* rather buy this game than an entire clunky 5200 system to play it, which [while ridiculous] was sort of in the back of my mind. One Best Gold 5200 joystick's money alone will likely buy the game! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syfo-Dyas Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'd consider a 5200 if there is an easy to install S-Video MOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
