I would like to see a 4 player Gauntlet clone on the 5200, I think this would be Awesome too bad I don't know any thing about coding for the 5200.

Try Dark Chambers or Into The Eagle's Nest for the XEGS.

I went down this road last year and it seems like everyone is programing the 2600 in not the 5200. A new Pinball and Galaga would be nice!

Or programming the 7800 and Intellivision (in my case). Other developers are coding for the A8s, C64, Jaguar, Colecovision, TI99, Spectrum, BBC micro etc. There are plenty of programmers around, just not so many interested in the 5200.

Maybe cafeman set the bar so high with Adventure II that everyone is scared off? :-)

There is actually a GAUNTLET for A8 but I don't think it would run in the 5200's memory constraints. But would be awesome to be proven wrong!

Darn, I misread that as saying Gauntlet done!

Gauntlet rules!

maybe it has something to do with the crappy controllers i have adventure 2 and koffi ... 2 great games. although adventure is pretty hard

Maybe someone could do a conversion of Dandy (which I believe was the inspiration for Gauntlet). Controllers might not work too well for this one, though...
