Was browsing Arcade Heroes list of upcoming arcade games & saw a "Food Fight Frenzy - Retro Arcade Remakes/Atari (2024)" Intrigued, I did a search & found nothing about an upcoming arcade title, but a few articles about a new Food Fight game for The VCS by "Mega Cat Studios" followed by a PC & multiplatform home console release. The thing is all these articles are from around 2021 & mention a "early 2022" release, yet here it's almost early 2024. Guessing maybe it was scrapped? Anyone have any info? My first time hearing about this. Would love to see this happen & so curious as to where they might take a Food Fight for The 2020's. Don't wanna get my hopes up though. Here is one of the articles I came across. Alot copy & paste the same wording https://screenrant.com/atari-food-fight-game-remake-online-multiplayer/

If you already have 34 I'd say go for it. I feel extremely fortunate I was able to jumpstart my 7800 collection in the late 90's with 20-30 games NEW, all for 80 cents a piece from a liquidation website at the time! Over time & especially during the 2010's I gradually filled it up until I acquired a complete NTSC library EXCEPT Tank Command. 6-7 years later I still can't bring myself to wait for it to turn up & go through with it 😞 But still hope to one day before I die I own the Super Pac-Man homebrew & I do need to pick up some more of those, Bentley Bear is LONG overdue Also gotta say glad I took the plunge with most of the rarer games in the previous decade, the prices already seem significantly higher already, less then 10 years after

Atari 7800 Forever Podcast at 7:30 Tonight. One tomorrow!
Stevaside replied to Cousin Vinnie's topic in Atari 7800
Any plans to get this on Spotify? That's where I listen to all my podcasts nowadays & having to keep Youtube open on my phone to listen to one while out is a pain (Not going to subscribe to YT premium that allows you to play audio in the background like nearly every other app in existence) -
Came here to post, bcuz yeaaa I don't know a whole lot of people IRL who can relate to my nerdy excitement 😜 Hopefully ONE day before I die I'll get a perfect Choplifter score. I was amazed I even pulled this off honestly, after 100s & 100s of times playing throughout my life I barely ever made it into the 60's. I have such a love/hate relationship with this game I swear. Can be brutal, but I just can't stay away. Anyway would like to hear some of your best scores + see screenshots on these if any & maybe try some 7800 high score competitions in general

Yea, the last time I really put the time in to beat Scrapyard Dog & got to that boss was the late 90's & I think the only way I managed to get to the end was to draw a map on notebook paper of what sewer pipes to jump through. I remember that part being incredibly frustrating. I see alot of complaints about the main character, but IDK just never rly bothered me, came off as an average joe wanting to rescue his beloved dog lol I tried one of those hacks on an emulator for a bit & thought it was hilarious, the role reversal where you play as "Scraps" & rescue your owner instead Stacked up against your typical NES side scrolling action game, I still think Ninja Golf's controls feel awkward a bit. I have alot of respect for it though & play it occasionally. Agree on the dragons also, very lazy & it was a big letdown when I got to the end only to realize it was the same boss AGAIN Gonna have to pick up Crystal Quest at some point
-
Ahhhhh I'm so conflicted about Scrapyard Dog. It was one that immediately came to mind when thinking about a Top 5, but I just can't forgive that final boss decision. I will say that game along with Ninja Golf were the 2 main later releases I had no idea existed in the 80's that blew my mind as far as what my 7800 could have actually done. I almost put Ninja Golf on my list as well, but had to be honest with myself: the controls are a bit wonky although it is still pretty impressive, creative & fun I really need to pick up Crystal Quest already, speaking of The 7800's true capabilities

Yea it's one of those simple old school arcade type games that I can play for relatively short periods of time to try & top my high score. Some intense moments when you're down to just a couple eggs, frantically trying to survive lol I also think it shoulda been a light gun title. Can't remember if the official light gun or Best Electronics had a second button either, but that would kinda be necessary. Nowadays I only have a flat screen, so can't make use of a light gun anyways (Nor play Barnyard Blaster at all, but apparently I'm not missing much) The accuracy definitely isn't perfect, but I found the more I stuck with it the more I adapted to it. It was originally an Atari ST game I believe, that used the mouse & has even better graphics The quirkiness of it all is one reason it appeals to me too, it is kind of out there haha

TOP 5: 1.Food Fight 2.Mario Bros 3.Choplifter 4.Commando 5.Crack'ed (Yea I know, I'm like the one guy on the planet that really enjoys this game ) 3 HONORABLE MENTIONS: -Alien Brigade -Joust -Xevious *ALSO: -Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest would probably be on there if I hadn't been putting off ordering it for so long. Hopefully someday I will before it's too late -Scrapyard Dog would make The Top 5 if it wasn't for that ridiculous disappointment of a final boss which ruins it

What commercially released 7800 games deserved a sequel?
Stevaside replied to Propane13's topic in Atari 7800
Yeaaa, it was a rough game. I never actually played it until MAME in the 2000's, but when I first saw it at the arcade my Mom took me to I was like "WOAAAH Joust TWO?!! This looks so cool, I bet it'll come out for my 7800 since we have the original" lol Someone else was playing it that day & I never got to spend much time in arcades when I was with her. -

Joust 2...ahhh...another one of the several arcade games I hoped would be released for my 7800 in the 80's that never happened -
Retroarch Intellivision emulation setup
Stevaside replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Can you tell me which button is used to start games? I've never played an Intellivision & just trying it out on Retroarch. I figured out the keypad controls & setting the amount of players, but both games I've tried so far : Diner & Dracula I swear I've hit every button on my Xbox One Controller & they won't start. I wind up just randomly mashing all buttons & can sometimes get a game to load though. IDK out of all console configs, this seems to be the least straightforward -
I have the manuals but keeping those, sorry. I've had them all kept in plastic sheets in a little binder for about as long as I've been collecting. Barely takes up space

Hello, Planning to move & have been downsizing things. I have an almost complete 7800 NTSC game collection (all besides Tank Command), but never focused on keeping boxes when I started collecting in the late 90's. Anyway, I still have a few boxes up in my closet from some games I ordered 7-8 years ago & I'm most likely going to try selling them to save space. Before I started taking pictures and/or list them on Ebay or the marketplace here I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone who collects boxes as well might be needing some of these & would want to work something out with me Here is what I have: Alien Brigade Barnyard Blaster Ikari Warriors Mean 18 Golf (Kinda pains me to get rid of this one, but lol) Meltdown Most are in pretty good shape considering their age, a couple might have a dent or 2 but nothing too major. Some still have a portion of the plastic seal attached; Mean 18 is one of them Stevie

I always wished for the ability to put the helicopter in jail. Especially since when I was little, my Aunt (who passed away a couple years ago) mistakenly told me you could & I used to try to do it... with no success obviously
