+thegoldenband Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I don't think you've posted your Todd's Adventures in Slime World gameplay videos to AtariAge, but I wanted to mention that I've enjoyed them. I know firsthand how hard it is to clear some of those scenarios -- beating Arcade mode was one of the tougher challenges I've ever overcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came this close to including Planet Smashers (and Galaga too). And yes, they connected the two games. The ending of Alien Brigade leads to the start of Planet Smashers. And the ending of Planet Smashers leads to the start of Alien Brigades. It's a never ending circle!

What I like about Midnight Mutants is its mix-in of humour: Dr Evil saying self-solemnly ‘vengeance is mine’... followed by the immature statement ‘take that Grampa!’... And when your hero dies, and if you wait a few moments, your hero raises as mutant-zombie and if you push the Grampa-comment-button he will actually say things like ‘you’re dead now, you know, bit of a bummer’ or something in that vein. I just think it takes the genre to level it should be taken: not overtly seriously, but as a thrilling adventure. I’ve only gotten to boss2 yet, but I enjoy the silly comments essentially making it an action-horror-game not taking itself too seriously/not going into all that ‘darker&edgier’-thing. But cannot come to think of very many other titles you could have included from the 7800 at least.

Giles N Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) @nosweargamer Have you considered reviewing the 5200 game collection? (If I’ve missed something, and you’ve done 5200 games, sorry). Personally I just love the 5200 and its comparatively small but very interesting game-library.

Anyway, have you reviewed/played Alien Brigade using a light-gun? I’ve had difficulty finding one for the 7800, while easily got one for my SMS, where Space Gun is my favourite light-gun game. I find, using the joypad-control to be good, would imagine using a light-phaser would be even more responsive... If you’ve tried both ways of playing it; do you think the one way is better than the other, or just different? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should wish it was easier to get hold of a 7800 compatible light-gun. I’d really like to have a go at Alien Brigade with that hardware... I think Alien Brigade is one of the best 7800 games (not *the* best in my opinion, but one of the best).
