Many say the good old 5200 lacks homebrew support these days

nonetheless 2012 have brought

* SINISTAR for only 25 bucks

* not just 1 but 2 new composite video mods.-awesome quality-

* Atarimax Ultimate sd cart with LOTS of A8 conversions ,THE best thing ever to happen to the system!

* NOS aluminium spare front parts for the case from a known supplier

* 4 to 5 new games on the horizon including the long awaited Tempest , Gauntlet and Cloack & Dagger.

* New custom made 5200 Leather 5200 covers

and some ebay sellers are making cheap custom joystick converters

what more can the 5200 fan wish for ??!!


That's all pretty awesome.

Do you have links?

Hmmm...what to wish for... How about a converter to run Jaguar controllers [Power Pads, Jag Pro Controllers] on the 5200?

Or just load our Falcon patched version, and have BOTH sets of music ;-)

Too bad that couldn't be done to improve Shadow of the Beast... man, the ST version stinks... [compared to the Amiga version]...

egm was always hyping crap that wasnt true lol it was fun to read back then though. also egm treated atari and the jaguar like total crap so no way atari was going to give them any kind of inside story lol. atari was friendly with gamepro and gamefan though and maybe also videogames magazine. egm game players next generation all seemed to hate atari and jaguar.


EGM famously gave AvP an average score of 5 out of 10. That was so ridiculous of them and led me and others to believe they were on the take by Atari's richer competitors who generally could do no wrong in EGM's eyes.

Look a this video :



Amiga sound is empty.

All this post is a personnal view, i love Genesis sytem too :) even Amiga one (a little bit less but too ) so please don't start a flamme war thanks ;)

GT Turbo


The ST version sounds a lot more aggressive whereas the Amiga version sounds rather effeminate. But it didn't appear that they were done by the same artist so I don't think it's really a fair comparison. This is like Trent Reznor vs. John Tesh.

Has it really been that long [2001?] since Curt originally released it? Wow, time flies.

I guess the label could be updated - if it hasn't been since then - to remove the Infogrames name. :)
