Kaiju Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hey guys, looking to pickup another Homebrew, and I just cannot make up my mind B*nq or Beef Drop. The only other Homebrew I own is Bently Bear and love it. I love both of these game and hopefully will get both down the line, besides I Just want to own one of Kens games.. So if you had to pickup one first. Which one? Or is there a must own brew that I need to get before these two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I don't have either right now. They are both on my list to get. Especially with Ken's passing. I have played the demo of Beef Drop and it is excellent. I am holding out on in hopes of getting Al to offer the Pokey version again soon. I have a chip ready to go in it. I just need the opportunity to buy it that way. If I were in your shoes right now my choice would be B*nq. There are many excellent 7800 HB's in the store. Asteroids Deluxe, Pac-Man Collection, Jr. Pac-Man Scramble. All excellent options all if you are into arcade ports. You might give a listen to the Atari 7800 Homebrew Podcast. Sean has done an excellent job of breaking down a lot of great HB games. It might help you to decide where to go next. He has covered B*nq and BD. So you can get some insight with those episodes.

Kaiju Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yea I must of listened through all the episodes about 3 times now... love all the Atari gbg podcasts But if anything Janitor Sean makes it harder to choose...lol Didnt think about the chance of the POKEY beefdrop showing up again..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiju Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hmm. Was just thinking, he has made a 8bit version of beefdrop also right... that might be the way to go. How does the sound compare to the 7800 port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you had to pickup one first. Which one? Or is there a must own brew that I need to get before these two If you don't have the Pacman Collection for the 7800 I would highly suggest that before any others. Then Beef Drop, Then Bonq. Toss Super Pacman into that mix as well. First of all has to be the Pacman Collection though. It's a great bang for your buck with all the variations on the cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKON Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I would go with Beef Drop...both are excellent titles! but you did ask what would you pick first. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Easy! If you don't have a way of playing Burgertime on some other popular systems, go with Beef Drop. If you don't have a way of playing a quality game of Q*bert, go with B*nq. But really, the answer is to eventually purchase both, regardless.

Cousin Vinnie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's like asking to pick between the red head or the brunette... you will be pleased either way sir 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 But if anything Janitor Sean makes it harder to choose...lol Wait'll you hear the Roof Pooper episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It should be an easy choice, because Bonq is perfect version of Qbert,and Beef Drop is perfect version of Burgertime.Burgertime. So... which game do you enjoy more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Pac Man Collection! Tops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Wait'll you hear the Roof Pooper episode. If that’s a Homebrew conversion of Uncle Tinkle Poo Pit, I’m all in baby. Man I’ll just wait a bit and order both...then Pac-Man down the line.. I am curious though How the Beefdrop 8bit sounds vs the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
