    Why in the f#@k did Tremiels Atari company use huge boxes for teeny weeny lil cartridges? It was like wrapping christmas presents for children in giant boxes so they think they are getting a train set or somthing, but when they open it there's only a matchbox car or tinker toys inside. It was a waste of money on cardboard paper and natural resources which seems kind of strange coming from Mr. Tremiel who was all about cost cutting and saving money. Does this make any sense or am I just having paranoid thoughts?

    Fixed elevations on level 1 pavement.

    Replaced gun power up with new three sprite animation.

    Add ground explosions.

    Add two more level one background assets.

    Complete shop assets.

    Add level three gun blast

    Add bombs

    Have a great evening everyone! Still jamming out to the pokey version of UN's theme! Yamaha would be perfect too!

    Thanks Kev for the input..............I had know idea it was that complicated.....All this time I thought you just needed any old cart shell....I thought it was going to be as easy as just unscrewing, throwing the board in and screwing the case back on, LoL..............I may have to hire someone for the job......damn :( but I'm still gonna try it first LoL........

    I've also made a gray-label replacement for b*nq so that it matches the rest of my collection. No disrespect intended. For whatever reason, when I bought it I was thinking it would be gray, (probably because of the picture in the label contest page). The original label is very nice, (but I'm a stickler for my 7800 games matching), so I removed it VERY carefully with heat and affixed it to the sticker-paper-backing of the new label for storage. You can see the cart with the original label beside it in this pic. Unfortunately, I'm getting off topic since this is about Absolute/Activision carts. Anyway, extra advertisement for b*nq! Buy it in the AA store. :)

    Thanks!

     

    I've used google image search and have had trouble finding a good one. If you know of one, please share. :)

     

     

     

     

    I've done a few for the 2600 in my hacks thread: Double Dragon, Rampage, Pete Rose Baseball, (and I'm about to do Tomcat F-14). It would be very easy to use them for the 7800 games as well. I suppose one would just need to change the copyright info at the bottom... or maybe it could even be left as-is.

    BnQ is awsome.Lol, I thought id also do a little advertinsing for Ken Siders and Atariage.TO ANY ATARI7800 COLLECTORS THAT DON'T HAVE THIS GAME, YOU MUST GET IT......NOW!JUST GO TO THE ATARIAGE STORE AND PLACE AN ORDER.#$&*##&*^%#!!!!!:)

    Only had power back since yesterday and most of that time has been cleaning house and cleaning out the fridge. I hope to get to the Thunderbolt fighter tomorrow. Added the white border around the status icon and health bar, cleaned up pixel work on the pilot, (I had a few pixels wider than they should be in certain vertical columns) and started keeping a visual tab on the lower right to keep up with how many colors I had used in all of my mini paletts. I used the type tool in ps to approximate the text for score and life. Hope everyone is doing well and had a spectacular Christmas.

    Christmas was good.Maybe Santa will put atari 7800 UN Squadron carts in our stockings next year to make christmas great.
