Looks like the most expensive game for 5200 I've noticed so far is Krazy Shoot Out. Is that one worth getting? Noticed it's like over a 100 bucks...so is Meteorites. I looked at a video for the Asteroids 5200 version and gotta say I'm not too impressed. 2600 Asteroids looks way better and Mine Storm on my Vectrex is just about as close to the arcade imo.

LG, going strictly from a gameplay point of view (and not from the "must own it" collector's point of view) I don't think either Krazy Shoot Out or Meteorites is worth $100+. For that kind of money you can buy a Classics flash cart and load the ROMs up for free - you probably will tire of both quicker than you think. As Jetset said though, Krazy Shoot Out should not cost as much as that.

I just paid $20 for my K-Razy shoot out just last month! as jetset said, it's basically a Berzerk clone, but still fun!

Meteroites is a straight up Asteroids clone, but the analog control can take time to adjust to... this game was made to be utilized with the Masterplay interface, as they were both made by Electra Concepts... I got lucky and got mine in a lot I picked up last year on Craigslist.. but yeah, it seems to be one of the more expensive 5200 games…

the only other hard to find 5200 games I'm noticing seem to be Bounty Bob Strikes Back and Frogger II

I had a chance a few years ago to pick up Frogger II for only 40 dollars, but for some reason didn't. I regret that now. Glad I got Gremlins tho. Was playing it today and got up to Night 18. Also gave Pole Position another shot and even tho the controls are weird at first,it's kinda not that bad. The graphics don't look as good as the plug in play version I have which is close to the arcade.

I might buy The Last Starfighter soon too.

I still have a loose Krazy Shootout in my trade pile if someone wants one. If memory serves the label was decent but not mint. I can dig it out and take a pic if there's interest. :)

Here are all the 5200 carts in my trade box with prices. I figured I'd post them all. :)

Krazy Shootout $25
Kaboom $3
Soccer $2

See pic for label condition. Ask if you have any questions.

I am open to trade offers as well.
