Well I would love to play Atari games on my tablet or Android TV but until this app supports gamepads it will have to wait. One of the few emulators that doesn't. Crashes on Android 7

Atari LOGO rom isn't recognized as a cartridge with Colleen, even though it works fine on all my other Atari800 emulators. Hope this gets fixed.

A gem that I would have paid for. Detailed instructions on how to use properly really helped me. Thank you devs for this one. Now can I have a 5200 emulator :) ?????

It's an okay emulator, but it would be nice to include external gamepad support for use with Android set-top boxes.

Great app, only a couple requests, please add Moga support, and second make it Amazon Fire TV friendly. Thanks for all your efforts.

This is a great app and lots of great games can be played but I find the joystick to be a problem for some games where u can't movie characters fast enough in different direction s

Low power consumption, good on-screen joystick. An auto save state on exit would make it perfect.

Y70%
by Y####:

Really could do with a d-pad option instead of the naf joystick. Makes it unresponsive when mapped to hardware controls on jxd.

Currently playing "Bandits". Sounds and graphics are replicated amazingly. Thanks !!

Is there something I am missing like ROMs or are they incorpotated. I run this and phone is locked up

Y70%
by Y####:

I would like this emulator a lot more if it played 5200 games better. The 5200 had two fire buttons. So games like 'H.E.R.O.' are pretty much unplayable in this emulator, unless I am missing something.

Great work,great coding. I could probably do better but i'm lazy! :-P Now for some ST lovin' ....

E70%
by E####:

I had trouble making the emulator work until I included Ataribas.rom after which everything worked fine. There seems to be a little glitch with "Journey to the planets", but other games ran fine. It's cool to see games like Ballblazer on such a little screen. Thanks!

I love being able to play the old games! Thanks so much to the devs for this port!! Bought a Wiimote to use as a joystick, works perfect with this emulator! Droid 3.

Didn't work on S3. I was only able to load Basic and it worked, but the phone keeps vibrating all time and couldn't stop that.

Great port of the Atari emulator. It is great to be able to run the software I created 25 years ago on my tablet.

Y70%
by Y####:

This is a pretty decent emulator by Google Play standards. It's not as fast as an actual Atari XE/XL, and it's a little tricky to use, but once you get the hang of it, Colleen serves up more than its share of retro gaming fun. There is one sticking point, however. While the emulator claims to have support for 5200 games, actually trying to run them will hang the software until either the Android device is rebooted or the emulator is deleted. This isn't a big deal, since many of the 5200's games were ported directly to the XE/XL, but it will nevertheless frustrate fans of the system. (Like, uh, myself.)

Excellent! Nice speed and compatibility. Great to get back to such titles as Phantasie, Ultima series, Questron, Alternate Reality...

Works great. Love that the droid 3 keyboard works with this! Been rediscovering my favorite games as a kid.

My atari 800xl died after 27 years. Took me a while but was able to get my favorite atari 8 bit game running. Game ran at same speed as original. Developer responds to emails amazingly promptly.
