There is a Jr. Pac-Man for the 5200. You can see stuff about it here. http://www.atariage....wareLabelID=790 By the way, AA does have a real nice rarity guide.

You can search all 5200 games here: http://atariage.com/...l?SystemID=5200

Jr. Pac was a prototype...no mention of CC.

CC exists in the form of a conversion from the A8.

hmmm.. I have been considering picking up the Crystal Castles 5200 conversion.. and am really hoping it supports the trak-ball!

perhaps, after Christmas, I'll make the plunge and find out! (I've already made some other purchase commitments so it will have to wait…)

There are two versions of 5200 Crystal Castles which are 99.9% the same. Unfortunately neither one supports the track-ball. It would be a great hack if someone could do it though.

that's too bad… thank you for the information.. I still will pick it up regardless, but I couldn't agree more, a re-programed version with trak-ball support would be wonderful!

if only I had the skill and capability to program!

Jr. Pac-Man appears to have been developed on the 5200 and then ported to the 8-bit when it was finished. Crystal Castles was started on the 8-bit but not finished (it was 98-99% there though) so it never got ported to the 5200.

There's also members here at AA who will do them cheaper as well. I'm sure said party will PM you if you are genuinelt interested.

Jr. Pac-Man has a fatal bug though.

There are two versions out there, one has the bug, but the other one shouldn't.

That figures, I seem to get the inferior versions. Probably because I bought them so long ago. Whatever versions were sold in the AA store are what I have of the repros.

Isn't the bug-free version only for the 8-bit computers?
