It was in a normal but unlabled 5200 housing that was a little broken. I will try to get it ripped into a file soon when I get my Eprom progammer hooked up. Attached thumbnail(s)

Well, Dump it and we'll see what it really is.

Not that I think you converted one of the 8-bit burgertime clones or nothing.

Ok couple problems with this "prototype"

1. M-Network (Mattel) owned the rights to it. They never hinted at or made ANY 8-bit games

2. If Mattel was going to make BT for the 8-bits it most likely would have been for the 400/800 not the 5200.

3. If it was a real 5200 prototype it would consist of at least two EPROMS (LO and HI). Some had more (Atari used up to 4: LO, Mid-LO, Mid-HI, HI).

4. EPROM label text doesn't follow Mattel's naming conventions

5. Even if you're willing to overlook 1-4, it's April Fools day!

Going to give it some more play now to see how complete it looks. Attached File(s) 27128.zip (6.88K) Number of downloads: 332

Mattel signed an exclusive deal with Data East for their games. Mattel couldn't get the large companies, so they had to settle for DE. They just got lucky with Burgertime. Tempest

The players sre screwed up. The hotdogs are black and part of the chef moves back and forth on the top. This is in Atari800 emulator for Macintosh. I'll have to try it later with the Maxicart. Allan

I think what this is is a clone that was made for the Atari 8-bit computers and was ported to the 5200 by Ken. The game just looks too "homebrew" to be an official product. Also not there is no Mattel copyright on the titlescreen. Interesting nonetheless. Tempest
