Atari 7800 and Intellivision missing homebrews.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Intellivision

Same Game & Robots

Atari 5200

Boulderdash
Merry Christmas

Are the following 5200 games legit ports or not? Are they just fans porting games without permission? If they are real then they need to be added to the database in time for the new guide.
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
MULE
are the games at this link legit or not too?

There is a Prototype called Blaster for the 5200 that AA has screens of and needs to be added.

Atari 7800

Combat 1990

Released by Harry Dodgeson, a sequel of sorts to combat, seems decent too.

Pac-Man Collection

Santa Simon

Beefdrop

Prototypes of Plutos and Rescue on Fractalus have been discovered as well.

FYI: keep your eyes open! Moon Patrol is being ported as Space Patrol, and another platform game is being released for the Intellivision called Rick Dangerous which will play just like Spelunker.

Santa Simon for the 7800 was released in 2006. Santa Simon is holiday cart and was available till Jan. 15th.

Bump, I've updated the list. Any input for the list above will be appreciated. I want to get this into the guide soon.

What's the 5200 Merry Christmas?

[Mayhem]

It was a "free" cart produced by Roman (CPUWiz) over at AA for anyone who threw in a donation of $25 or more to the fund to help out a couple of the other people there.

What's it play like? Is MULE legit or not?

[Mayhem]

You'll have to ask someone else sadly, I don't have a 5200 yet LOL

MULE is a port of the 400/800 version I believe. Not legit really!

All in preparation to find someone who's composite/S-video modded a 5200 for me to use here in the UK...

Ah, bugger... I never have the time to read AtariAge anymore, so I missed out. Oh well... Thanks for the info and pic!

[vintagegamecrazy]

I found a bunch more things to add.

Rent Wars for 5200 is out now and here is a link for a Intellivision guide full of cassette software that isn't in the database as well as the Bandai and Digiplay Brazil games.

Joe if you want help getting this stuff in let me know.

Packrat has a bunch of Home brews for the 2600 and Odyssey 2 that aren't in the database as of yet, be cool to see these in the next update and guide.

While were on topic
Grandtheftendo and Sudoku were released on the Nintendo NES

Frog Feast has been released on a ton of consoles and all have to be added to the guide.

Here is the links with released versions http://frogfeast.rastersoft.net/Buy.html

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Grandtheftendo was released?

[Jumpman Jr.]

I don't think it ever was... I'm pretty sure the production stopped.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Why was there reviews released for it? I'm probably wrong, I read a few reviews, mostly bad. Maybe just a rom and if it's stopped, good! I could care less about the whole series.

[Jumpman Jr.]

I think the rumor was that Rockstar told him to stop. This is just going by memory, though.

[slapdash]

Right... I know that early BINs were out there, but I never heard of it being completed, or carts being sold. And there was some speculation that Rock Star was going to hire the kid, but I never heard any final resolution on the story.

[vintagegamecrazy]

A few are there and a few aren't check the listings again!

[vintagegamecrazy]

I'm talking about the O2 homebrews, only about half are listed in DP

[vintagegamecrazy]

I see most of this never made into an update yet. Joe can this be added soon?

[digitalpress]

I believe I have addressed everything relevant here (some of the Intellivision homebrews are in development, it seems). I've also added some of OlderGames' other releases that were left out, like Icebreaker II and Powerslide. I've updated the local database. you should see the updates online in the next week or so.

Thanks for the heads up.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Joe I see you made the update, way cool! I just wanted to knote that the Intellivision tape based game Spelling Challenge and the Wico Command joystick haven't been added. I would love to see them in the guide so hopefully they'll make the next update. Spelling is a R10 $??, The Wico is a R7/$20
