Stevaside Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Finally got this...Pretty impressed! I know it seems to get a bad rep from the controls, which didn't wind up seeming as bad to me as I read (The most annoying part is when you go off the road)....but the whole weapon/vehicle upgrade system & password option to save games is kinda advanced for an Atari game I'd say The exploding citizens scene out of your window is just as hilarious as it sounded in a recent review I read...I never imagined I'd play an Atari game where I'd see a blind guy & a cheerleader blow up to their death Only played 2 courses yet, but so far seems like an interesting game that I could see myself sitting through a couple at a time & then coming back with my password to get further in the game Sure I sound like a broken record, but really gets me down seeing these type of games & imagining what else we could have got if our beloved 7800 got the treatment it deserved & stayed in the game longer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglyclone Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 saw your pic you put up on Instagram of Fatal Run. Sounds like a solid title! Is it worth the price though? seems to run a bit on the higher end on Ebay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevaside Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) saw your pic you put up on Instagram of Fatal Run. Sounds like a solid title! Is it worth the price though? seems to run a bit on the higher end on Ebay Cool......I believe I got it at a pretty good price, I happened to do a quick Ebay search before bedtime the other night & spotted it newly listed for around $30 I think it was...If I remember correctly it usually goes for much more so depends...But for what I paid for it compared to some of the other less common titles going for $20-$30 + I'd say definitely! It seems to be a long & possibly difficult game to beat (I think around 30 levels total it said & a few courses in each!), so not something most people would have the patience to sit there all day on, and I could see it maybe getting repetitive after a while, but that's where the password ability comes in nicely IDK Playing it really made my day, it was a trip & just had a very different feel to it then the rest of the games in the 7800's library IMO...I only have a handful of games left to complete my 7800 collection now & this was one I actually didn't plan on getting anytime soon until I saw it for that price...Think I got a decent deal, sure someone here can confirm that either way...

MAC-42 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yeah, this is a game I kind of enjoy, too. A number of the later titles that the Atari group in...Illinois, wasn't it?...made are really pretty decent. Kinda shows that, in the hands of enterprising coders, the 7800 had a lot more flexibility than people think from the early arcade titles. Is it worth the price though? seems to run a bit on the higher end on Ebay Yup. It's worth the price, with a special caveat. The key thing is finding it when the price is right. I held out for a while and picked up a boxed copy for $25, I think, a few months ago. Seems like Stevaside got a similar deal. It looks to be one of those games that, if you hold off a little, you can find at a decent price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 If you like that, you are seriously going to love BattleWheels on the Lynx, even without multiplayer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, matter of fact I was just watching a Youtube video on it & Fatal Run was the 1st game that came to mind....Looks like a good game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny. His Jaguar reviews are also cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen a couple of his other vids, but not that one until now. Thanks, there's a lot more details about the game in this one then whatever it was I watched. I didn't know you could go walking around on foot too haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Beyond Games was supposed to port their BattleWheels over to the Jaguar but I think they became too bogged down with Ultra Vortek that that never happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I can't believe there was actually going to be a Mortal Kombat II for the Lynx, such a shame it never happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
