Atari Flashback Portable FAQ and Compatibility List

[Hwlngmad]

Dear Bill:

 

For the 7800, I would love to see:

 

- Ninja Golf

- Food Fight

- Basketbrawl

- Pole Position II

- Dark Chambers

 

Thanks!

We definitely won't be doing 5200 (too many buttons, analog, etc.), but we do want to look into 7800. What 7800 games do you guys want to see supported the most? Say, a top 3 - 5.

[Defender_2600]

7800 games I particularly like:

- Alien Brigade
- Commando
- Ms. Pac-Man
- Centipede
- Joust

[R_Leo_1]

Pole Position II, Xevious, Food Fight, Ms. Pac-Man. All good

[+sramirez2008]

Galaga

Commando

Food Fight

Ninja Golf

Donkey Kong

[+Trebor]

7800:

Ninja Golf

Midnight Mutants

Joust

Food Fight

Basketbrawl (or Alien Brigade)

[+sramirez2008]

Any thoughts to replacing the d-pad with a thumb stick?

[+save2600]

5 original 7800 games I'd like to see:

 

Asteroids

Dig Dug

Food Fight

Joust

Xevious

 

Will probably get a combination of these instead:

 

Ace of Aces

Fight Night

Hat Trick

Jinks

Karateka

Mat Mania Challenge

Planet Smashers

RealSports Baseball

Sentinel

Super Huey

Touchdown Football

 

 

...half-joking of course, but we all know how these things typically go. Besides, doesn't really matter on a portable system with an SD slot, does it? People are going to put what they want on the thing anyway.

Yea true. The 7800 games in your "probably" list are all pretty terrible.

[7800 2]

Alien Brigade, Midnight Mutants, Commando,Asteroids, Desert Falcon. Maybe some homebrews?

The upcoming "Evercade" handheld has 2 Atari collections announced which prove this point nicely. Some of the best 7800 games were licensed from elsewhere.

[Inky]

Ballblazer

Food Fight

Ninja Golf

Robotron

Asteroids

 

And let's throw a prototype...

Klax

Top post updated.

 

What if I need help with this, or want someone to just do it for me (I would pay for materials and shipping)?

ArenaFoot is willing to help.

[bugcatcher88]

The 5 7800 games I'd like to see included:

 

Motor Psycho

Fatal Run

Asteroids

Centipede

Midnight Mutants (if possible)

[gorfcadet]

Robotron (will it support original controllers? SEGA pads?)

Joust

Crossbow

Food Fight

Centipede

 

If it has a cart slot that would be amazing since the homebrews are what has really gotten me back into collecting for the 7800. It would rock to play Baby Pac and Rikki & Vikki in 720 on my lcd.

[Mikebloke]

I'll be honest the likelyhood of me buying it is low, but if I could I'd have:

 

Ninja Golf

Midnight Mutants

Motor Psycho (sorry, I just can't get past certain elements of Pole Position 2!)

Basketbrawl

Tower Toppler

 

I don't have the 7800 version of Dark Chambers yet, but it looks good. Mario Bros, Galaga isn't too bad either, but that is beyond the realms of possibility.

[gambler172]

Pac Man Collection

Robotron

Ninja Golf

 

and i could offer my 7800 Birthday game

[edladdin]

Asteroids

Dark Chambers

Food Fight

Joust

Xevious

[envytomdead2]

I think these would be realistic with licensing

 

Food Fight,

Desert Falcon,

Basket Brawl,

Ninja Golf,

Centipede

[atarifan88]

7800 Games I would like to see supported:

Commando or Ikari Warriors

Galaga

Choplifter

Rampage

Summer Games

[AlwaysOnPlanetPatrol]

[FroggoGamer]

Hopefully there would be Homebrew support, I'd love to have Dungeon Stalker on the go

[SRGilbert]

One feature request I hadn’t seen yet would be the option for a link cable for two player games!  I’m sure any sort of wireless connection would be out of the question for the price point though.  

[SRGilbert]

Another probably obviously suggestion would be a Lynx Flashback, you wouldn’t even have to change the form factor much if at all.
