Is it still just as hackable as the original? Otherwise, there's no point.

I would think so, I'll see what I can find out though...

AII is a homebrew game on the 5200 (http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2759).

Hhmm.... it might be a "dumbed" down version of the 5200 release?

It's been a long time since I played Adventure so I can't tell if the screen shots there include AII or they're just Adventure.

Ouch!  Price is reasonable, S&H is $15.00...  half again as much as the unit itself.  I'm better off hitting ebay for a new used atari since I still have all my carts.  :(
