A quick note about the hacks: I have decided to place all of my hacks in one, convenient thread. As I grew up with my Atari 5200 and Atari 800XL, there were certain games that I thought had a little more potential. I had created basic hacks for a few of these games. I always thought that my 5200 Popeye could look better. Brutus didn't have a number "5" for a head in the arcade version. I knew I had drawn more accurate Mario characters on my 800XL. If only I could plug them into the games. I teamed up with Playsoft, who provided the tools and wisdom to make these games possible. Some of these games have other contributors. Tep392 helped us tweak the collision and touchy controls in DK Jr. I believe that Tep392 and Kjmann worked on the original Donkey Kong RMT sound version. I believe there is another member who helped Playsoft in some of the A8 to 5200 conversions. I am not sure who drew the giant Popeye head. If anybody has clarity on this, let me know, so credit can go where it is due. These are truly community projects, and I had a great time watching them transform. Playsoft did an amazing job of hacking display list interrupts, giving me a little more height area (eg. thicker 5200 Mario Bros floors, as well as multiple floor types). I have been holding off on releasing the latest Mario Bros hacks, because I didn't want to release as many revisions. I was also hoping for some upgraded sound effects for Mario, but there's not always enough time in the day. There's a bonus hack for the 7800 Mario Bros. I found the 7800 graphics tedious to hack. The characters were drawn too small and flat, and the game itself plays horribly. That version has the least number of animation frames, so the animation is poor regardless. It is my "Lipstick on a Pig" release.

Hey everyone. My last post of this nature didn't gain any traction, unfortunately (am still seeking Rampage CIB) but thought I'd make a similar thread in search of Motor Psycho for Atari 7800. I thought I was getting a solid deal on a NIB Motor Psycho for $50 (through the forums here) but when it arrived I flipped over the box (only saw a pic of the front previously) and it was very clearly PAL format, so that will not do. Anybody with an NTSC Motor Psycho that they'd be willing to part with? Doesn't have to be NIB or even CIB - I would even just take the cartridge. Thanks!!

As far as I can tell, these just popped up last night or this morning. The prices aren't great, but at least Best Offer is an option. For anyone who has been searching far and wide for these elusive titles as you seek to complete your 7800 collection...

I have no connection to this seller whatsoever, just passing along these recent finds. Cheers.

Hey there guys and gals I'm trying to get my Atari 7800 collection in good order before a friend from out of state who grew up with a NES comes to visit in August, since I want to show him the best of what Atari's offering from the time period was all about. With that in mind there are a whole bunch of games I'm hoping to pick up for the system before he comes to visit but being a little short on cash (and not wanting to pay massive fees for selling games on eBay) I've decided to see if anyone here would be interested in buying some of my lesser played PS1 and GBA games or trading some of the Atari 7800 games I'm trying to track down for them. To give you a reference for my reliability as a buyer and seller, you can see all the feedback I've received from selling games and related accessories on eBay over the last half a dozen or so years here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/hanz0d0g You can also find my AtariAge Marketplace User Feedback thread here: http://atariage.com/...pic/254880-jin/ That all said, here's what I have available for sale / trade: PlayStation Games For Sale / Trade All games are complete in box and, since I'm more than a little obsessive about the condition of the games I buy, are in excellent condition with no cracks in the cases and all discs, manuals, etc. present and accounted for. The condition of the discs vary from pristine to lightly scratched but still perfectly playable with no problems whatsoever. The prices listed below are firm and do not include shipping costs. 2-Xtreme (Greatest Hits) - $3 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Greatest Hits) - SOLD Crash Bandicoot (Greatest Hits) - $30 Crypt Killer (Complete but missing UPC from back of case artwork) - $10 Dance Dance Revolution - $8 Dance Dance Revolution Konamix - $6 Final Fantasy Chronicles: Chrono Trigger & Final Fantasy IV (Greatest Hits) - $18 Jet Moto - $6 Riven: The Sequel to Myst (Includes official PlayStation edition Player's Guide book) - $20 Spyro the Dragon (Greatest Hits) - $20 Star Wars: Dark Forces - SOLD Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Greatest Hits) - $18 Game Boy Advance Games for Sale / Trade As before, since I'm a wee bit picky about the condition of my games, all games available for trade here have near perfect mint condition labels with no trips, tears, or significant scratches unless otherwise noted. The prices listed below are firm and do not include shipping costs. Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (Has slight color fading near the top of the label) - $5 Doom II - $40 Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls - $10 Iridion II - $10 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - $5 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - $5 Mario Golf: Advance Tour - $9 Missile Command (Original GameBoy game) - $5 Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance - $12 SimCity 2000 (Complete in Box) - $13 Street Fighter Alpha 3 - $18 Tetris Worlds - $4 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear - $6 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - $4 And now for the things I'm looking for! Atari 7800 Games & Accessories I'm Willing To Trade For In terms of games I'm willing to trade for I'm really only looking for loose cartridges or cartridge + manual copies, however I will consider trading for complete in box games if the offer is right. Just be aware that I'll probably resell or re-trade the box once I get it since I don't collect boxes for Atari 7800 games. Lastly, just as a reminder, I am very picky about the condition of labels and will only trade for games with excellent condition labels with no rips or tears and minimal scratching. Accessories Atari XE Light Gun (New in plastic or gently used like-new condition only) Games Alien Brigade Ballblazer Basketbrawl Centipede TB (AtariAge homebrew cart) Crossbow Desert Falcon Food Fight Frenzy!

Nothing to see here. Keep it moving.

Based on the memes of Axl Rose, I've made a small amount of copies of a Fast Food remake for the Atari 7800 titled, Fat Axl. Please PM me or post to this thread if you're interested in a copy. EDIT - IMPORTANT!- Don't use a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controller. Otherwise you'll get a repetitive Game Over screen. Use a standard controller.

Can anyone tell me the largest MMC cart that Chad Schell's Cuttle Cart 2 can handle for the Atari 7800? (Is there a max?) Thanks in advance, I just snagged a brand new CC2 off of ebay. Finally! Tom

Is the Jinks 7800 cartridge the best shell to use for donor/homebrew purposes? Or is the draw with the board used with the game? Or both? Reason why I ask is because I found a spare cartridge and I thought if the shell is the best of the best, then why not scan it for 3D printing purposes? If the Jinks shell isn't the best, which shell is?

Hello there! I'm new here, and I came to ask few questions to the mighty atari fans out there! I'm from a scoring website https://www.video-games-records.com/home.html (which I highly recommend you if you want to show your scores on every atari systems, or more), and I was wondering what was the main differences between games that are in all these platforms (2600/5200/7800). Let me explain you: when I propose a new game on the website, the game will be tidy with games from the same system (2600, jaguar...) but sometimes you can link some games when they are the same (for instance, games that are on PS3 and PS4 will be both add on the same platform, together). So, I was wondering what was the differences between the games that are on 2600, 5200 and 7800, and especially, what are the differences in the SCORING itself? For example, Joust or Ms-Pac Man both came on the 3 systems. Are they the exact same game? Or are they different? What about the gaming itself, is it easier to score/play on a 7800 system or 5200 than on a 2600? It's confusing, because you can play your 2600 games on the 7800. To conclude, my major question is: are the games different? Does something change in the way of playing (with the controller for instance) ? And if not, should I regroup both games (for instance Moon patrol) in 1, or add 2 on differents platforms? Thanks for clarifying this, if you know more! I have all these systems, but I can not fix my atari 7800, for a reason I ignore (even if I follow every tutorial out there to clean/repear it), and my atari 2600 is still functional. Great to see so many still pationated guys here! Cheers!

In this video, just uploaded to Youtube, I show over $500 worth of Atari Homebrew gaming goodness for the 2600 VCS, 7800 ProSystem, and Jaguar. Even so I missed some, so I'll need to do another video. Technically some of these games are Homebrew ports of Arcade games, but there are many that are totally original as well. Most were purchased from Atari Age. I purposely left out the Custom Reproductions that I have ordered, as I'm saving them for an upcoming video. While the above video was uploading, I discovered that I now have a second supporter on Patreon. Supporters get exclusive content, which I plan on expanding what I offer as I go along. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=11084981

I've listed a bunch of Lynx and 7800 games fulfilled by Amazon Canada, search or click through them here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aag/main/ref=olp_merch_name_2?seller=ASVVEHBRLZEPV I didn't spend a lot of time setting prices, feel free to make me an offer on here if I've overpriced something and I'll reduce it on the site. I listed them here because I need to get rid of a whole load of stuff and I shipped it all to Amazon in a single box for CAD$10 - packing up and calculating the shipping for 60+ individual boxes is just too much effort for me. Also shipping is cheap (or free if you have Prime or order enough) within Canada, and hopefully shouldn't be too bad from the US either.

For those who don't know, I have a new homebrew out for the Atari 7800 titled, Crazy Tank. Details about it are here.

I've posted this in the Marketplace but maybe some don't know about it yet. It's a Fast Food remake called Fat Axl for the Atari 7800. It's based on memes of Axl Rose from Guns 'N' Roses well-known for his bad behavior. Now since he's the lead singer of AC/DC, there have been images posted of him being fat and he's even threatened Google to take those images off. The game is rather simple as you are Fat Axl and you eat hamburgers, tacos and beer while avoiding Slash and poodles. Don't ask me why he hates poodles, he just does. (Google "Axl Rose hates poodles.") Time after time, you'll see "You're Getting Fatter" messages. You have three lives and if you collide with Slash or Poodles, you'll lose a life. Lose all lives and the game is over. I've programmed this game with 7800Basic. It's nothing fancy- just a silly game to play until Axl Rose threatens me with a cease and desist order. Retrogamer81081 was kind enough to upload a review of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VXk5v4tRn0

Can anyone sell me a CIB or SIB 7800 Summer Games? I can pay well, I can't seem to find this common cart, the only one needed to complete my 7800 collection. A red Rampage would be nice too, since I have only the blue box. SHIPPED TO US

Hi, I am just learning my way around the 7800 scene. And I used to be more active in the Colecovision scene. But I had not enough time for so many different Consoles. My main systems are the C64 & Atari 2600 so it just seemed natural when I needed to replace my 2600 to get a 7800. I really think there's a lot of potential with the 7800 but as I am new I don't know how big the Homebrew base is that would support more homebrew projects. So I started this thread to put out there what I would like to see done. I really would like to see more classic 80's arcade ports like in the Colecovision scene. But I also would like to see some multiplayer strategy games like M.U.L.E, that I think was on the 5200 and some classic games like Archon, Mail order Monsters. Anyway this is just my humble attempt to get the conversation started between 7800 gamers & home brew developers. Thanks to all who contribute.

After a financial SNAFU back in January that resulted in my Atari 7800 collection getting liquidated I've managed to get myself another 7800 system as well as my previously owned Edladdin Super Twin 78 back and would like to start rebuilding my Atari 7800 game library. That said, here's a little list of the games I'm looking for and the prices that I'm willing to pay for loose cartridges in good condition with no rips or tears on the labels (The icon denotes the games that are my top priority to acquire first): Alien Brigade - $35 Asteroids - $7 Ballblazer - $12 Centipede - $7 Crossbow - $6 Desert Falcon - $8 Dig Dug - $5 Donkey Kong - $10 Donkey Kong Junior - $10 Food Fight - $6 Galaga - $8 Ikari Warriors - $20 Joust - $7 Mario Bros. - $14 Midnight Mutants - $30 Ms. Pac-Man - $4 Ninja Golf - $30 Pete Rose Baseball - $18 Rampage - $20 Tower Toppler - $7 The prices above are before shipping costs and I can pay via PayPal. Thanks for taking the time to view my WTB thread and just shoot me a PM if you happen to have any of the games I'm looking for and would like to sell.

Sparing you all the backstory I'm once again in need of an Atari 7800 system. I'm hoping to find one in very good condition with no chips or cracks and minimal scratching on the chrome bezel. I would prefer a composite video modded system but would settle for a system with regular RF output if the system was in exceptional condition. Price wise I'm pretty flexible and am open to negotiation but I would prefer not to spend more than $120 shipped on a compsite modded system with power supply or about half that for a system with RF output. Again though I am open to negotiation based on the condition of the system being offered. Thanks for taking the time to view my ad and feel free to shoot me a PM if you happen to have a system that you think I might be interested in.

Check out the pic and send offers my way. All fully tested, cleaned and work great! All have manuals but Mario Bros. Looking to sell as a lot. Thanks!

A while ago i stumbled over The Console Living Room at archive.org. You can play Atari 2600, Atari 7800, ColecoVision, Odyssey 2, Astrocade and SG-1000 games there directly via in-browser emulation (MESS). Very handy if you wanna play a few old games without downloading emulators and roms. Have a look!
