Avalanche It "inspired" Kaboom!, and is a perfect paddle game. And if I'm correct, modern Atari holds the IP rights to this.

Trebor’s 7800 ROM PROPack

The 7800 GameDrive has its own on-cartridge RGB video out for games on its microSD card and is crispy clear. That port completely bypasses the onboard video of the 7800.

Read from this post on in this thread for @juansolo's and @marauder666's exploration of video quality with my French Péritel (RGB SCART) Atari 7800.

I am hopeful Plaion and Atari adopt the experimental firmware as basis for the updated firmware, as it's outstanding.

Don't forget their Wii games. I kind of liked the re-imagined Centipede.

BupBoopConv command line tool from the BupBoopConv thread creates an A78 file. Does that work?

For what it's worth, AtGames Atari Flashback 9/X/50th/12 joysticks set the REWIND button to LEFT+RIGHT+UP, and the SELECT button to LEFT+RIGHT+DOWN; Tim Worthington's 2600RGB extra button for the joystick triggers LEFT+RIGHT, with the extra button + UP pressing SELECT, and the extra button + DOWN pressing RESET.

Updated Atari 2600 ROMs collected by Trebor that fix the issues with Asteroids, Warlords, Battlezone, and others.

Worked great for me using a Mega7800 from the 1st batch. I tend to play with this controller: 8BitDo M30 Bluetooth Gamepad

Thank. You. Audacity.

H.E.R.O. reminds me of one of my best friends from childhood, who's unfortunately no longer with us. But we played H.E.R.O. for hours on end day after day, while discussing teenage philosophy around girls, doing what's right, music, art, movies, heroes, fairness, and even our rudimentary understanding of politics. JVR is tied to the most emotionally important things in my life. And Alien Abduction makes me wonder what my childhood friend, Derek, would think of the game. I bet he would have loved it. A picture from a reunion in November 2022 where we played old games together after his death with all our old buddies that hadn't been together in over 30 years:

I think it's fair to stop giving JVR a hard time. He wrote a new Atari 2600 homebrew game that's pretty amazing, right? Atari is pretty clearly still figuring out what they do for a living, with a new young CEO that appears to be giving us everything we've ever bitched about. AtariAge (Albert) at this point is just trying to meet his pre-Atari commitments. Rather than turning JVR off from this community because of piracy or explaining that he's not genuflecting enough to the whims of nostalgia, let's recognize him for what he's done: a proper follow-up to one of the best 2600 games back in the day.

I am hopeful @Ben from Plaion might recognize that a follow-up game to H.E.R.O. would be wonderful PR for the 2600+. This deserves to get out as an official Atari release! It blows the doors off Run and Jump, which isn't bad, but isn't Alien Abduction. It's only the spiritual successor to everyone's favorite Atari 2600 game!
