jericho_21 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I would like to see two of my favorite games on the A7800, but I don't know if it will ever happen because they are owned by Atari. They are Marble Madness and Crystal Castles. Marble Madness for its impressive graphics, and Crystal Castles just because I love the game. Since they both play with the same type of controller, a Trak-Ball, I think that would be great to convert them to Trak-Ball games for the A7800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th lutz Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I would like to see two of my favorite games on the A7800, but I don't know if it will ever happen because they are owned by Atari. They are Marble Madness and Crystal Castles. Crystal Castles is the only one owned by Atari aka Infogrames. Before Midway declared Bankrupcy in the 2000s, they owned Marble Madness. Warner Bros. Entertainment currently owns Marble Madness. When Warner sold Atari to Tramiel, the coin up arcade division wasn't part of the sale. I believe Tramiel had rights to arcade games that were released before July of 1984 or had some rights to them. I am mentioning this because the current Atari has used bunch of titles that were the Atari arcade division created before July of 1984. What Infogrames aka Atari owns is the same stuff as the Tramiel family used to own for IP rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Lover Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'd like to see some side scrolling beat-em-ups ported to the Atari 7800. We had Double Dragon...how about Renegade? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAVE 1 GAMES Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 If they were able to make Ballblazer look as good as it did, why not s.t.u.n. runner? Obviously the graphics would have to be toned down a bit, but could it be done? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I would love to see Baby Pac Man, I think PacManPlus was looking into that game as its part pinball machine.. if anyone has the skills to make this game I am sure Bob is the guy for the job... I have the actual arcade game but honestly playing an 7800 or retro recreation of it, has my imagination going wild! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragmare Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Not arcade, but I think one of those early Lucas Arts point-n-click adventures would have been SICK on the A78... Maniac Mansion, I'm lookin' at you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidus79001 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Elevator Action Moon Patrol Gyruss Ok, I realize that I should have included these as well: Congo Bongo Tutankham Gauntlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Did I mention Mr. Do? I think I have but it bears repeating - MR. DO ON THE 7800 PLEASE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I tend to think Mr. Do! is welcome on any system!! It is one of my all time faves...And I've noticed the logic and A.I. etc., is different on it in every version (even MAME) when compared to the actual arcade game (which seems at times wildly random)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Lover Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Since the Atari 7800 could handle a 3/4 isometric view (Desert Falcon) - - Crystal Castles - Zaxxon - Up'n Down - Congo Bongo - Marble Madness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 In that case, Pacmania would be a good one for the 7800 too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Since the Atari 7800 could handle a 3/4 isometric view (Desert Falcon) - - Zaxxon I wonder if you could do Zaxxon by hacking Desert Falcon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkarner Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 What about Space Firebird ? A bit obscure but so were Astro Fighter, Astro Blaster and Moon Cresta and they made it to the 7800 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Kevin did an awesome job updating the graphics in Double Dragon working within the same sprite templates and ROM size constraints of the retail original. The demo with POKEY sound overlay shows how much better the game's graphics and audio could have been even with just 128K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnPHU0Bp6DI If 256K would have been allocated, the originally intended sound chip(s) on carts, and overall better development resources from Atari, Double Dragon under the Atari 7800 could have been pretty incredible. But...Activision. Activision had the DPC chip which they never used on any 2600 games except Pitfall II even though they continued developing for the 2600 and the 7800.

7800Lover Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I want Legendary Wings on the Atari 7800. The console handled Xevious, a similar shooter, very well so why not Legendary Wings? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mr. Video Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Doubt anyone's heard of this game, but it looks fun and I kinda wanna see a 7800 port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteym5 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 3. Venture While the Atari 2600 port is quite good, this is one game that I sure wish the Atari 7800 had a nice version of like the ColecoVision does. It's just a personal favorite game of mine. Venture Venture Anybody else looking for Venture on the 7800? I have the sprite images done, and one map screen completed. Title screen image also completed. I see people calling for Zookeeper, Ladybug, and Mouse Trap here also. I have something in the works that I may do later on the 8-bit and possibly the 7800. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
