YANDMAN

To Trebor, I totally agree with everything you have said and would also like to say Rygar on the NES holds a special place for me also, it was the first game i purchased and it still gets a regular play today. Basically the next thing i would like to know is when can i give somebody some money for a cartridge version of this absolutely fantastic game, a huge round of applause for everyone that made this happen, The Atari family is the absolute best!

Stun runner is a massively good call dude, I have been playing this on my arcade a fair bit recently, Not sure how well it would translate but its a great idea for sure

1 Moon Patrol 2 Beam Rider 3 Q-Bert 4 Enduro 5 Phoenix 6 Yars Revenge 7 Frogger 8 Berzerk 9 Missile Command 10 Secret Quest

The simple facts: 18% of all ATARI fans are in the U.K 13.86% of all Mario fans are in the U.K Put in on a cart and we shall buy it

I just stumbled over this on youtube last night and rushed here to see what developments have been made, This is an incredible achievement and i definitely wish to buy a cartridge version of this.....Excellent work

As i have just read the above comment, I have now answered myself Was unsure as to why there wasn't a pal version at launch...........We love atari too

Does this play on PAL systems???

It is a shame, But if kevin says it aint so then it aint

This is awesome, kevin your work blows me away, But in my opinion you should of gone with the original wwe logo as that obviously would of been in when this game was made and its just way cooler....Maybe wcw even, Excellent work though

I want icy

Wow thanks man thats really helpful, I might attempt this myself

Oh really?? That sucks, So why does it only become affected by certain games then?? and why do some run o.k, ball blazer for instance is crystal clear no issues whatsoever as is food fight and galaga Im gonna have to see about getting a friend to do an s-video mod for me in this case. Thanks

Hi guys I know something like this has been covered before but as nobody posted any pics im not sure if my issues are the same and also its different depending on what games i play. Some games have almost like a graphical glitch on the left hand side of the screen and yet other titles namely Choplifter, Fatal run play without any screen glitch but are very fuzzy, Its nothing to do with tv type or tuning as i have tested it across four different crt's, The other thing is that when i play 2600 games on this 7800 they are perfect absolutely crystal clear. When i initially purchased Ms.Pac man as this was the first time i saw this glitch i wondered whether i had been sold an NTSC copy now i dont know if it would even run but i had read that some NTSC games will run but with graphical issues, the other game i have heard this mentioned about is centipede and that was the second game i noticed it on. I had pondered just buying another 7800 but thought somebody might know what this problem is, I have stripped the machine and cleaned the rf connection and it looks like new, The console itself is mint but i have also cleaned the cartridge slot and all the offending cartridges but with no change, I am awaiting delivery of a signal booster to see if that helps. Ill include screen shots showing the glitch and a 2600 game with no issues at all. Thanks in advance Yan

Ahh thanks kevin well i guess that gives me all my answers and puts this vision to bed, too bad as i thought it could of been nice, thanks for clearing that up.

i APPRECIATE WHAT YOUR SAYING AND I CAN VISUALISE THOSE IDEAS BUT IM SAYING A RACING GAME NOT A RACING SHOOTING FIGHTING GAME ( I WASNT SHOUTING )

Well i actually think you would find the game a lot more fun if the game play felt better and by giving this a really good engine note and increasing the feeling of speed via roadside objects this could be achieved, As i said remove all the fighting mechanics apart from the body damage, leave all the body, tyres , fuel etc still purchasable in the shop, make the other cars controllable and as for the interlude part looking out of the window i actually enjoy it and if you don't you can just hit fire as you don't have to wait for it to run its course. i really think this could be cool, the basic game engine works well and plays smoothly

A couple of weeks ago it was being discussed on here about possible racing games that could be converted to the 7800 possibly to utilise the new XM, Well iv'e been playing quite a bit of Fatal run lately and i wondered could this game not be hacked into a really good racer? Now i have no programming knowledge so what im saying may not be possible but from an observation point it appears to have all the ingredients. The dash display on the bottom of the screen is excellent and far exceeds the likes of rad racer on the NES, Two of the enemy vehicles are a Ferrari testarossa and a Porsche 911 with another resembling a Jaguar xj220, I'm assuming that you could mod these sprites to be the controllable cars? The game already has a good feel of speed but with a few added road side details, trees, Signs this could be greatly improved, The engine note isn't great but it isn't bad obviously the extra xm power could put something great into place. Remove the weapons side of the game but keep the mid race upgrades for all the normal items , tyres, engine etc. The in-between level looking out the car window but is awesome and should remain but just maybe remove the deceased headstones and add more waving people. Well that's pretty much it, As i said i have no programming knowledge so i have no idea how hard this is or if its even possible but it just seemed to me that this has a lot of good ingredients and a great starting base for a hack, It was the detail on the Ferrari testarossa sprite that made me think......Out Run! Well it would be awesome if one of the talented programmers here took this on or at least i think so. Yan

Thanks guys that's appreciated but to shmit that isn't the donkey kong font that's Jump man its not correct its close but not the same, but thanks to both of you

Oh dude its o.k, but hey listen i tottally agree with you i was playing fatal run last night and it really is fun and impressive, like i said im sure this could be hacked into a racing game im gonna raise the point in a separate thread.

pahhhh ha ha ha ha..........sorry dude but this thread is funny, yes i agree fatal run should get a remake and then make fatal fury, I have actually pondered if you could hack fatal run into outrun

Does anybody have the original donkey kong font, Some nice person on here did offer it to me once before but i cannot find the thread point where this was, i am currently re-designing some custom cases and would be very grateful if anybody has it. Thanks in advance Yan

Uhhh fatal fury on the 7800 is............awesome

Oh man i cannot wait to get my XM, I didn't realise there was a Pac-man xm, Im sure i have played a demo some months back but i didn't know it was gonna be a full release that's awesome.

Hey Bee I know you've been busy with other projects just wondered if you knew when you might pick this up again, I definitely wish to buy a copy as will many others and this will be another awesome entry to the xm catalogue, tempest is an awesome game.......And if any star wars versions were possible i would also definitely join that party We are blessed to have so many great people involved in this atari family

id love to see space dungeon or black widow both of those games absolutely rock
