+Propane13 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I had no idea that Tower Toppler 2 existed on the Amiga (named Nebulus 2): Looks like fun! It got me thinking if some of this could be ported on top of the existing Tower Toppler engine. Obviously, not an easy task, but I thought it might be a good "what if" topic. What 7800 games do you think could have additional levels added as a sequel? -John 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Not sure this specific topic in this exact question has come up but similar 'what ifs' have been discussed before. Not really so much as sequels but I was always surprised and disappointed that a version of Moon Patrol and Crystal Castles was never ported to the 7800 back in the day as I'm sure the 7800 could have done both arcades justice on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware there were prototypes of either of those games on the 7800? Were they announced for the 7800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 They’re listed on Tempest’s site... Okay, wait -- Crystal Castles isn't listed as a 7800 proto. I'm sure that I've seen rumours of a box or artwork or code having been started for a planned release in '84. Maybe I'm just confusing it with another title. Hmm...

Moon Patrol was not listed as found for the 7800 and is only mentioned in the rumor mill section of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Great minds and all! I just went back to check that myself. Still, I could swear that I've heard or read of 7800 Crystal Castles rumours somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest site confirms Guru Larry claim about 7800 Moon Patrol complete but marketing not sure how best to sell it.
