Best Atari Game

What is the best 7800 game and why?

[SteveW]

Midnight Mutants. It's the most graphically advanced 7800 game, has good music, an involving plot, great gameplay, a lot of replayability, and Grampa Munster! How can you go wrong with a combination like that?

come on food fight is great fun, its addictive, fun and simple, not alot of people would agree with me, but i think its the best 7800 game.

Ninja Golf!!! Why you ask? Come on its ninjas and golf in one game! It makes golf fun! It really is a awesome game though.

[hagbard]

Ninja Golf! Yeah! That's my favourite, too!

I think the devolopers must have been stoned getting this idea for a game (winners don't use drugs, eh?)

I never had such a good laugh and fun playing a 7800 game!

I totally love Midnight Mutants too and it does have good graphics. As for "the most advanced", I don't agree. I think Alien Brigade has the best graphics on that system. Ninja Golf and Tower Toppler are up there too![/u]

And you've got to admit, the instant replay feature is awesome!

My favorites:

 

Ballblazer - Ass-kicking animation and sound, fun game.

Midnight Mutants - Decent sized quest

Commando - probably the best arcade translation on the system.

Xevious - It's just soo much fun

on one note, i had my m8 round today and we played asteroids for my 7800 2 player for an hour and he really enjoyed it! hes normally really bitter about old games and goes on non stop about cs all the time, but i think i got him switched as he bought a jaguar on ebay the other day

 

anyway asteroids 2 player is gr8 fun and it comes with the console!

My favorites:

Ms. PacMan

Xevious

Just because......

[Clock]

Alien Brigade and Joust are my favourites.

 

I thought Midnight Mutants was a bit lame - I don't think it's got the best graphics either by a long way.

[Inky]

Xevious, Crossbow, ALien Brigade, Asteroids

 

Xevious -- Graphics aren't spectacular, but it's so addictive! I like it better than the Arcade version.

Crossbow -- In this one the graphics ARE spectacular, and the gameplay loses nothing from the arcade version

Alien Brigade -- Great Opereation Wolf clone

Asteroids -- Graphics are spectacular, gameplay is better than the 2600 version, and the 2 player modes kick ass!

 

Now if someone could hack a co-operative 2 player option into Xevious.

Crossbow --  In this one the graphics ARE spectacular, and the gameplay loses nothing from the arcade version

 

Just curious if you play this with a lightgun or controller?

 

I am really, really bad at it when using the controller and not alot better with my Atari brand lightgun because I never seem to hit what I'm shooting at. I always lose a life or two trying to figure out how many inches I have to shoot away from something to hit it

I really enjoy these games for the 7800:

 

Crossbow

Dark Chambers

Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong Jr.

Food Fight

Galaga

Jinks

Midnight Mutants

Ninja Golf

Scrapyard Dog

Tower Toppler

Winter Games

 

The rest of this system's library is underwhelming to say it nicely.

I actually use the Genesis controller for this. Works a LOT better than the stock 7800 controller.
