Jonny_B Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Only one comes to mind for me: Crystal Castles. I miss the arcade version, and the 2600 version does it no justice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 While it's debateable how well it could be translated to the 7800, Marble Madness would have been awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 While it's debateable how well it could be translated to the 7800, Marble Madness would have been awesome. I second that. Marble Madness would have been an excellent addition to the 7800 library. How awesome it would be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feralstorm Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Crystal Castles Marble Madness Peter Pack-Rat Elevator Action Tempest Major Havoc Pac-Mania Pengo Sinistar Zoo Keeper Mappy And lots more besides. I just limited it to a few faves I though the 7800 might do justice to. Kinda wish the 7800 versions of Asteroids and Centipede had Millipede and Ast. Deluxe as extra game options. Doubt it would take up much extra ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mental Vortex Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Zoo Keeper Ahh, one of THE best arcade games I ever played! I remember first playing it at a hotel in Washington, DC sometime in 1982 I think, and was instantly addicted. I can't believe Atari never officially released it for any of their systems. Did it ever come out on any other systems (Coleco, NES, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuddy Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Marble Madness and Reactor would both be great if it were possible for them to be controlled with a trakball. Rally X would be nice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamienC Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm surprised no one mentioned Defender/Stargate. Would be awesome on a 7800. I like the 5200/800 version but I personally don't like the system otherwise. Would be nice to play the game without hooking up another console.

Shaggy the Atarian Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I have often wondered how vector games would turn out on the 7800. We know it can do 3D, so I imagine that plain vectors may run nicely (nicer than what you can get on the 5200/800). In that case I'd also love to see Tempest, Major Havoc, BattleZone, Star Castle and Black Widow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Hey you know what game would take forever to program right but could very well be a legit 7800 title?? WOLFENSTIEN 3D !! The original version that I remember playing on my 286 back in the day on my EGA monitor with my massive (at the time) 4MB of RAM, that could be done on a 7800 I'm almost sure of it.

In that case I'd also love to see Tempest, Major Havoc, BattleZone, Star Castle and Black Widow. As far as vector graphics based games go, i'd like to see some computer games ported over, like Elite, or even Mercenary. I remember playing Mercenary 2 on the Amiga over and over, until the floppy disc got some grit in it and crapped out. It was a great wireframe 1st person exploration game. The 7800 couldn't do it at the same resolution, but it would still be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Why nobody mentioned Defender/Stargate is probably that all you have to do is pop in the 2600 Stargate and you are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienC Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Why nobody mentioned Defender/Stargate is probably that all you have to do is pop in the 2600 Stargate and you are there. I actually prefer Defender II... but it's not the same. A separate button for smart bombs alone would make a 7800 port worth it to me.

The_Laird Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Defender 2 IS Stargate. Some of those games are a bit un-realistic ( Super Mario, Streetfighter 2 etc. ) but what about these Atari arcade classics :- Pacland Roadblasters 720 Star Raiders 2 Badlands Skull and Crossbones Blasteroids Pacmania Rampart A.P.B I know that Pacland and Roadblasters supposedly exist somewhere in prototype form if anyone could find them . . . .

DracIsBack Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Defender 2 IS Stargate. Some of those games are a bit un-realistic ( Super Mario, Streetfighter 2 etc. ) Street Fighter 2 is indeed unrealistic, but I'm not sure why you consider SUPER MARIO to be? The 7800 could do a decent translation of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I'm not sure why you consider SUPER MARIO to be? The 7800 could do a decent translation of the game. Woot, Woot!! I got someone on the SMB 7800 team with me!! AWSOME!! Now we just need someone to make the damn thing a reality. I was told a full port could be done of this game to the 7800 in less than 2 years time. If I had even the slightest idea how to program for the 7800 I would be working on it right now but seeing as I don't I purpose the same ol' question agian, Anyone want to do a SMB for the 7800? I know it would sell and a preorder list could be made as long as results where garunteed. Any takers to program? Anyone else want to vouch with me that this would be a hot selling title?

No way... no how... unless of course some serious $$ is fronted but your right, it would be cool to see.... like the 800 8bit version someone on here is working on... or was I guess..

DracIsBack Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...ght=super+mario Given SCRAPYARD DOG for the 7800 and the SUPER MARIO and CASTLEVANIA work being done on the XL/XE, I'm convinced that a decent translation of SUPER MARIO could be done on the 7800. However, finding someone with both the skill set as well as the inclination to do this is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienC Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Defender 2 IS Stargate I KNOW Defender 2 is Stargate. I just like calling it Defender 2 better. What I meant by saying "It's just not the same" is that the 2600 version doesn't "feel" the same as the arcade version. It's still a damn good port though. I've played SMB into the ground so many times I couldn't care less if it's ever ported to the 7800. I wouldn't mind seeing some old Capcom arcade games on the 7800... Gun.Smoke or 1943, anyone? Jr. Pac-Man couldn't hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Max Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I'd go for Peter Pack-Rat and Zookeeper, too. Sinistar would be cool, but only if the Pokey could do voice. That game really loses something without the voice yelling at you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
