    Both Plutos and Sirius are serious business man, (but; have only played them on the usual 7800 hardware - hope they get a wide availability as to hardware as they really deserve it even if 30 years late!!)

    Thanks @Shawn for your excellent services!! Really appreciated! What should Atari have done without you man, 😄😁!

    @edladdin How’s the progress as to the 5200 controller?

    Considering that Atari discontinued the 7800 in 1990 (!!) your game is actually a bit of a smash-hit... 😊

    Anyone here who’s hungry for a XL Chili Cheese Burger King burger?

    - I had one earlier today, and now I only want one more...

      Well, here in Norway I get well-fed but not over-fed by a XL Chili Cheese BK meny...

       

      ... how would I fare as tourist in Croatia...?

      Yeah. My previously world-wide comparison was on the signature Whopper burger, but even the X-Tra Long Chili Cheese differs some:

       

      Norway: 814 kcal, 53 g fat, 44 g protein, 34 g carbohydrates (32% more calories than a Whopper)

      Sweden: 721 kcal, 43 g fat, 36 g protein, 41 g carbohydrates (12% more)

      Denmark: 710 kcal, 43 g fat, 36 g protein, 40 g carbohydrates (14% more)

      Netherlands: 673 kcal, 41 g fat, 34 g protein, 40 g carbohydrates (4% more)

      Germany: 657 kcal, 39 g fat, 33 g protein, 41 g carbohydrates (7% more)

      Croatia: 651 kcal, 38 g fat, 36 g protein, 39 g carbohydrates (25% more)

       

      The X-Long Chili Cheese is not on the menu in New Zealand or Hungary, though the later have a Double Chili Cheese with a mere 609 kcal, 39 g fat, 33 g protein, 30 g carbohydrates that barely would keep you satiated through the day.

       

      Skip going to Italy or Estonia as a tourist, neither have any burgers at all with chili cheese.

       

      I didn't check all the others, but I have a feeling Norway is holding the world record for most nutritious (?!) X-Tra Long Chili Cheese.

      //Norway: 814 kcal//

       

      Yeah - our cows are the best!!

       

      The cows I see on fields along our countryside-roads looks very, very well fed

       

      👍🏻😁

      If I should happen to find myself in Estonia... I’ll go for double whopper then...

    @KevinMos3 Got a cartridge version of the ‘Scraps hack’-version today! Very nice to see the Dog in action and the cartoony looks of Louie as captured... ... and to have the game run on original/actual 7800 hardware!! A huge ‘thank you’!!! for all work and effort you put into this!
  9. Giles N
    Ok, buddy, list them; I’m all ears (I don’t own every homebrew)
  10. Giles N
    - Food Fight - Pole Position 2 - Motor Psycho - Commando - Ninja Golf - Scrapyard Dog - Alien Brigade - Galaga - Planet Smasher - Plutos - Sirius - Desert Falcon - Fatal Run - F 18 Hornet - Dig Dug - Midnight Mutants - Xenophobe - Robotron 2084 - Dark Chambers — - Pac Man Collection - Rikki and Vikki - Bentley Bears Crystal Quest - Donkey Kong PK - Baby Pac Man (can be played as pure pinball or combo-maze/pinball) — Hope this may be of help.

    I’ll throw in Robotron 2084, which is solid on the 5200, but even more solid a homeport on the 7800 – So the list is getting fairly long now, and I actually am very fond my 5200 and my game collection for it.
  12. Giles N
    Well, @Karl G @Drsoren24 mentioned - Food Fight, and - Galaga in the opening post. Thats the reason I left them out.
  13. Giles N

    I’m still testing the EverCade to find out pros and cons.

    Something that may be real drawback unless I’ve overlooked something, is a lack of 2-player mode. And 2-joystick mode for some advanced 2600 games. 

  14. Giles N
    I don’t this would be possible a mere hack. It would then have to be 3 separate hack versions.
  15. Giles N
    Hi, I collect primarily for the 7800, but have found some cool 2600 favourites that I really enjoy. Got Radar Lock on the EverCade, and my simple question is whether this made a socalled finite game, with a finite number of missions, which if completed makes you win the game. All good, Giles N
  16. Giles N
    @Drsoren24 So I guess my list so far, for games which would make it worth to get a 7800 would look like this: - Pole Position 2 - Motor Psycho - Commando - Ninja Golf - Scrapyard Dog - Alien Brigade - Planet Smasher - Plutos - Sirius - Desert Falcon - Fatal Run - F 18 Hornet - Dig Dug - Midnight Mutants - Xenophobe — - Pac Man Collection - Rikki and Vikki - Bentley Bears Crystal Quest - Donkey Kong PK - Baby Pac Man (can be played as pure pinball or combo-maze/pinball) — Hope this may be of help.
  17. Giles N
    Actually, I also think Dark Chambers is a nice (not awesome, but nice) variation to Gauntlet-type games; some nice variations in the background, so I’ll throw in Dark Chambers for people who needs more titles of certain categories of games.
  18. Giles N
    Ok, so we’ll add Xenophobe too then.
  19. Giles N
    I’d also say Dig Dug 7800 is very good port: better than 5200 because of better hardware, and better than NES because of the blue sky-backdrop rather than the black NES backdrop. So add ‘Dig Dug’.
  20. Giles N
    @Defender_2600 Any progress on the Pole Position II update?
  21. Giles N
    Compared to the 5200 you might throw in Midnights Mutants, (huge bosses which you rarely see on the 5200, ...
  22. Giles N
    Depends on the game-titles of interest to you personally. If you’re not interested in playing (oldschool and all that): - Pole Position 2 - Motor Psycho - Commando - Ninja Golf - Scrapyard Dog - Alien Brigade - Plutos - Fatal Run - Desert Falcon - Sirius - F-18 Hornet (really brilliant 8-bit polygon flight-sim.) — — — - Pac Man Collection - Rikki & Vikki - Bentley Bears Crystal Quest - Donkey Kong PK - Baby Pac Man — — — if none of above titles appeals to you, the 7800 (considering you already have an Atari 5200), may not be worth it. — Well, one more thing; the 7800 plays 2600 games, out of which you can find some gems... Solaris, BattleZone, Radar Lock, Tunnel Runner...

    Got ‘Kangaroo’ on Switch ‘Arcade Archives’. 

     

    So funny grfx! 😄

     

    But the engine (hardware + software) didn’t seem

    top notch (compared to games like Pole Position Arcade or Mr Do’s Castle Arcade). 

     

    Anyway - had my laughs...

    1. GoldLeader

      Does it still have that push UP to JUMP thing?  No excuse after Donkey Kong showed us the way with a JUMP Button in 1981.  Pac Land too....Just a JUMP Button...How hard is this??????

       

       

      OK I'll shut up now haha...

    2. Giles N

      Giles N

      @GoldLeader

      Yes, jump is still push up on the controller; no jump-button.

       

      So if you totally hate that, you may not want to invest in this for the Switch.

    Radar-Lock for the Atari 2600: really impressed as to how it plays on the EverCade handheld. Smooth, tight and fluid action, very impressive for a 1.st gen console.(even though its late release)

    1. Giles N

      Giles N

      I haven’t really taken the time to sit down and learn to play Solaris, impressive at is for the 2600 console.

       

      Don’t know how to

      use the starfield map, what to

      do advance in the game etc.

       

      —

      As to Radar Lock; do anyone know how many levels, if the game can be completed, or only runs infinitely...?

      LOL - Don't read the manual.  That's what THEY want you to do . . .

      @wongojack

      ok, I admit I’ve been lazy as to reading manuals as I’ve collected Atari games the last 2 years... its been quite a lot of games 5200 + 7800 and a few 2600 thrown in there to boot...

    Anyway, if you’re into the Atari 7800, make sure to get the Scrapyard Dog ‘Scraps The Dog, to save Dog-owner’-version, at hack-thread!!!
