    To add additional available ROMs

     

    Well it looks like @gambler172 and @TrekMD have called for a 7800 port of this now-iconic game that started for the 2600 in 1981 and was ported twice in 2009 for the 8-bit lineup by @Thelen and earlier this year for the 5200 by @playsoft

    and now a 7800 port 😉

    How about actually going to the 7800 Forums and somehow lobbying to get Yar's Strike done for the 7800 much like I did for the 5200 in 2016 (and successfully did!) and maybe somebody can do it, I'd download it in a heartbeat since I already have the 5200 and 8-bit versions, in which are right here, and I'm also including the original 2600 Yars' Revenge as well in case someone has a better idea.

     

    Here is the original thread that started it all for me back in 2016, as you can see, almost a whopping 80% of those who answered my poll, wanted one, and sure enough, earlier this year, after finding @Thelen's original 8-bit versions last year and lobbying hard enough, @playsoft came through for me, we 5200 owners have been thrilled since, who knows, maybe someone will make a 7800 version happen if you lobby hard enough!!!

    If the link is clicked on as captured and provided for the download, it should download to your computer. If there is a pop-up/new window that appears when clicking on the download link...

     

    ROMS: A7800_HHDP_20160928_ROMS.zip | Watch for --> post-18-0-57240900-1475103566_thumb.png

     

    ...Just close out/ignore the pop-up. The file will still download. There is no charge. Credit card is not required, nor is the providing of any other information.

     

    It is just the 'nature of the beast' for free file sharing sites. It saves AtariAge/Al the bandwidth bill by not providing a direct link on this site. ;)

    The file link failed on Google Chrome, I wanted to get all the ROMs for the 7800 as I await the all-new Concerto SD 7800 multicart to come out soon so I can go on eBay and get a near-mint 7800 ProSystem I am eyeing up right now as soon as I get my next paycheck the week after I pay my rent this month on Wednesday, as I am planning on launching a 7800 Edition (and also an 8-bit Edition when I obtain an XEGS system and also an 8-bit SD multicart from The Brewing Academy) of The Atari Report in order to draw more subscribers and also see what kind of great games they have for them, much like I currently do for the 2600 and 5200 Editions of TAR I currently do with my Atarimax 5200 Ultimate SD and Harmony Encore 2600 SD multicarts.

     

    Thanks! ....and I hope to join the Atari 7800 and 8-bit communities as well!!!

    It's October 5th, and I was talking over with my management, Len Enders, about possibly launching both 7800 and 8-bit Editions of The Atari Report, but, before I venture into getting a 7800 ProSystem to join both my 2600 and 5200 (and soon the XEGS to follow after that), I need to know when the Concerto/Concertino 7800 SD multicart will be ready so I can definitely get one and ready my PayPal account to reserve a multicart and then head to Atarimax to get the 7800 dumper (and also 2600, 5200, and 400/800/XL/XE dumpers too) so I can use it with an SD card for it.

    Both videos of @Thelen's version of Yar's Strike are right here to enjoy so you can see how far this iconic game has come along since he came up with it back in 2009. Thanks @Thelen!!! I hope you'll enjoy (and endorse) @playsoft's 5200 rendition that he did for us Big Sexy owners and when I get an XEGS system and launch the 8-bit Edition of The Atari Report (and the 7800 Edition of TAR as well) I look forward to trying and reviewing both of your original versions of this game too!!!

    I know it's been since June 26th since there last was a post of this now iconic game and thanks to both @Thelen for inspiring you 8-bit and us 5200 owners to have one of our own and @playsoft made it happen for us 5200 owners to enjoy in which has been downloaded hundreds of times off multiple threads with the ROM of it since then, and I want to share it with all of you guys in the initial voyage of my now hit YouTube channel, The Atari Report. I started it months ago, with both a 2600 Edition and a 5200 Edition, and since have amassed 47 loyal subscribers (and counting hopefully with some of you guys jumping onboard) and an official endorsement from the Atari 5200 Podcast and will soon launch both 7800 and 8-bit editions as well in the short future as soon as I save some $$$ for both a 7800 ProSystem and an XEGS system so I can enjoy all of your games as well, but I thought about inviting you guys to watch this debut clip I did several months ago, I hope @Thelen and @playsoft are watching, I have polished up my presentation skills since then!!!

     

     

    All 3 ROMs of Yar's Strike are available including both of @Thelen's original 8-bit versions as well as @playsoft's 5200 version as shown right here on this clip, I also have links to the YouTube videos of both of @Thelen's versions of this game and I have seen both so you can see how much it has progressed, who would've ever though a little 4K minicomp project would become so big over 10 years after it was first put out as his initial voyage into 6502 programming. Thanks to both of them for making this great game!!!

    I already did one up, it took multiple takes but all I did was take multiple photos of the silver bezel of my 5200 and try to get it right so it would work on it as a banner in just the right resolution and pixel sizes required by YT but, I did it!!! I even added a BIGHMW.com logo watermark on all 3 of my YouTube channels to give that TV network look (it's on the lower right of the screen) to them.

    Preferably one that measures at least 2100 x 1200 (the minimum measurements required for YouTube standards) and that has either the blue Atari 5200 logo or the campaign slogan "Have You Played Atari Today?" on it for a banner on The Atari Report YouTube channel in order to draw more subscribers to it. I would love to reach the minimum 100 subscribers to it so I can then get that coveted custom URL for that channel (I have already picked it out too.)

    I'm a huge fan of the 8-bit version of Wizard of Wor; my brothers and I played it on the 800 for many hours and it was the main reason why I decided to update the 2600 version.  :D I would welcome an updated 8-bit version too! :thumbsup:  

    ....and may that 8-bit version become available for the 5200 as well!!!
