saw this on atariage just now, this is pretty sweet and it will have to get updated into the database, we also need to search that site and list all of the homebrews into the db as well.

This still hasn't been moved to the proto section yet, just a heads up. This is yet another great discovery in the collecting world, I really enjoy this game.

Rampage is a conversion, one of probably over 50 that exist at this point. Just like the 8-bit to 5200 conversions that have be put to cart. I'm not sure whether they deserve a place in the database or not. They are going to continue to grow as time goes by.

I didn't know that was a conversion. Personally I'd like to see a section in the DB for Reproductions, Even it they aren't official I still like to collect them and play them so they would be great to have listed.

I have started noting all the conversion, homebrews and new carts from people like Nir Dary, Video61, Hollex, AtariMax and others. They should make the next update if Joe wishes to keep them in. Thanks for the info.

Sounds good. Look for an extended PM this weekend. Busy over my 3 day weekend trying to get a car I've been working on for 3 years cranked up. I'll break away and make some time to chat with you about Atari8 carts as soon as I can.

If you want we can compare lists for Atari 5200, as well as NES. Leonk has made several legit reproductions of NES games that we could list as well. I look forward to hearing from you.

These just keep popping up on Ebay here's MASH. Guide is down but this wasn't in the book at least.

I have a huge list of Video61 stuff that is due to be added on the next update. Something like 70 titles. Talk about prolific. I also have a ton by B&C, Sunmark, Nir Dary and a few others that put out the conversions/repros.

Both MASH and Commando are on the 'to be added' list.

FYI there's an actual M*A*S*H proto out there too, but the guy trying to sell it got cut out by the repros. It's worth noting that a proto cart exists though.

Good point. Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to note that in the guide.
