82-T/A Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Haha... I read that fast and thought it said "Mega Scat" ... I will definitely buy this though when it's made available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I definitely will be getting this on the VCS. Nice to see some a game announced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseystyle Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 One of my favorite 7800 games. Glad to see an update and will pick this up for Switch for sure. I wish Atari had made more deals like this earlier and set up a cool retro launch lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Wow. 7800 owners rejoice! May get a couple of them to buy a vcs over this game.. maybe 5 or 6 guys will bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are owners of theses systems going to buy a VCS to get it first: Versions for the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S consoles will arrive at a later time, the company revealed in a press release.

Lord Mushroom Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 If Atari has the rights to Food Fight, why isn´t it in Atari Vault? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they're saving it for Atari Vault 3 or to be included in the remake. Evercade had an Atari collection under license with the 7800 version and the arcade version is on Antstream.

The Atari arcade/2600 compilations have been out forever, and I don´t think any of them have Food Fight. If they could put the arcade version of Food Fight in there, they would have done so from the start. 8 hours ago, SabertoothRetro said: Evercade had an Atari collection under license with the 7800 version and the arcade version is on Antstream. Are you sure Food Fight is on Antstream? I couldn´t find it. I did see some Atari games belonging to Warner Bros., so if it is on there, it might be from Warner Bros.. Food Fight was made not long before Atari split up. I am guessing Atari has the rights to the 7800 version, and the franchise, but not the Arcade version.

AtariLeaf Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 It would be nice if the arcade and/or 7800 version were included as a bonus but I'm not getting a free bonus vibe from the current iteration of Atari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Mushroom Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Cloak & Dagger (arcade) is also on Antstream, and not on Atari Vault. I thought it wasn´t on Atari Vault due to licensing issues, but then it shouldn´t be on Antstream either. Maybe Antstream got the license from the Cloak & Dagger movie people.

Lord Mushroom Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Another strange one is Defender II (2600). It is on Antstream, and it seems Atari is the IP holder to that game. But Atari´s own list of IP doesn´t mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Somebody was complaining also that the games are not exclusive to the VCS, in the comments re: Centipede 2000 (well, it has 10 extra levels on the VCS). Atari answered "We took the route of giving the VCS versions extra content... but we will have some time-limited exclusives coming next year, including Food Fight which will launch first on the VCS." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenomadgaming Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I saw an article from 2021 about an updated one with online play dropping in 2022 but can’t find anymore on it. Has it been cancelled or just delayed? The updated premise sounds amazing and I would be super jacked for this one if it does drop. also, the article spoke about VCS exclusives with certain parts of the game. That sounds rocking as well. Just a few new levels that only VCS gets. https://gaminglyfe.com/modernized-food-fight-remake-coming-to-atari-vcs-in-early-2022/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davpa Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The first rule of Food Fight...we don't talk about Food Fight. There were a lot of development starts and stops with this project. Not much info has made it out to the public on the 'what' and 'why' reasons for anything. Recently MegaCats, the Devs working on Food Fight, recruited Beta testers. So whatever was going on behind the scenes seems to have been overcome. Still not many details on the project but it seems to be going forward again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
