    I stumbled across this looking for 5200 games I don’t have.
    And they are sold on EBay here:

    I'm also throwing up the white flag because it's become too frustrating for me. I continue to lose balls in every way imaginable despite the tips posted in this thread. I don't need a game's mechanics to keep my scores low; I can stink all by myself lol.

    That's it. I'm gently putting the controller down and walking away.  Go get 'em @RickR!

    I finally started focusing on the multiplier and earning extra balls instead of just trying to keep it in play. Also learned to slow down when the block is between the flippers and let it do it's job.

    Atari 5200 Guy got a reaction from Sabertooth in Club VCS - Issue 01: Is the Fun Back?   
    I'd buy it in print form.  I'd love to have something like this to go along side the VCS.

    It is a really neat system.  It needs more original games made for it.  Not for the 2600, not for the 7800, but for it as it was made to do.  Not that I mind seeing 2600 and 7800 games and homebrews on it...I'd just like to see something original and only available on it.  I reached out to Atari via email and told them some suggestions. The response I got was they would pass the ideas along.

    I want to add a nitpick!  Every so often the ball comes down a return lane and manages to sort of "hover" over the flippers, regardless of the player activating said flippers, then plops right down the drain, ha!!

    This score was particularly aggravating - after getting 187,000 on Ball 1, the table sank the next four balls in rapid succession.  This table hates the player and is not afraid to show it 😆

    I also feel like the flippers don't really offer any satisfying power.  They are like slow wet noodles. 

    BUT these are very minor nitpicks.  I think the game is excellent.

    I feel so good about myself when I have the bumbers/center pin enabled and still manage to sink the ball anyways 😄

    The new update to NeoSprint is live. It has a zoomed in view for single player and implements the twist function of the Classic Controller for steering.
    If you haven't looked at the game in a while, it's well worth revisiting. I didn't care for it at release. Now it's fun.

    This game was one of two I spent my first paycheck on when I was 16. I never regretted doing it. It’s a very impressive 2600 pinball game.

    I found the track I was referring to. I also won a new car! Let’s see what it won.

    I love how the cars in GT5 are presented. Time to go win more cars!
