Hey- I can easily make it to Dr. Evil on Midnite Mutants with the Super Blaster, Necklace, Heart, Cross, Lantern, and Key. However, I just can't kill the guy! Any strategy ideas or help? PLEASE! I need help! And can anyone recommend a webpage with strategy for Midnite Mutants and/or Scrapyard Dog???

In relation to the previous posts about the 7800 vs SMS/NES - here's a thought... Perhaps the problem doesn't lie so much in the 7800 Hardware as it does with the programmers. Had the 7800 had big time support for a few years, and some programmers that weren't working for bread and water at Tramiel's Atari, imagine what it would have been capable of (Compare the 2600's Space War to Solaris and you'll see what I mean) When I play games like Scrapyard Dog, I just froth at the mouth thinking of how easily the 7800 could have done a game like PacLand... Anyhow, just for a bit of shameless self-promotion, read my article about this at the Atari Times and see what you think... http://www.ataritimes.com/classics/feature...7800doomed.html

A couple thoughts on the sound on the 7800... Yes, the sound chip in it is crap, but with the right programmer, it isn't THAT BAD (ie- Food Fight) (Note - I'm not saying the sound is that great, either!) Here's a thought for you techies, though. With a POKEY sound chip on board, is the 7800 able to use both the system sound chip and the sound chip in the cart (in essence giving it 6 channels of sound?)
