For example, it would seem that the version of Centipede for the 400/800 is slightly inferior to that of the 5200. I have not actually seen this in person, so is there anyone out there who has, who would care to comment? I thought that the 5200 was just a revamped 400, and thus should not do any better than the 400. Is this just a case of old software (the 400 version came out several years ago) not being as good as the new 5200 software? Also, will the new 5200 games always be different from the 400/800 games? (seems like a lot of duplication of effort). Jerry Zarycky ...!utzoo!lshum ...utcsrgv!drz
