New Games I got today...

[pocketmego]

Just got my latest order in from Atariage and since many of the suggestions on my choices came from you guys I thought I'd share...

 

I got a boxed Galaga (boxed stuff is not my thing, but it is nice to get a better idea of packaging from the 7800 era) This is a good game. I'm more of a Galaxian guy and wish we had seen one for the 7800, but thisis not bad at all. It does get substantially faster after wave 10, but it is still fun. Not a perfect port, but not at all bad.

 

One on One. This is a Fine Fine Game. It was a fine game on the C64, the Apple, and every other computer it appeared on and it is even bettee here. This is where the 7800 got to shine, because graphically this game never looked better. It's easy to control and loads of fun to play, especially if you like basketball and especially if you like basketball of that era. Plus the AI is interesting. You can be moping the floor with the CPU opponent and then he can tunr the table on you just like that. Why it depicts Byrd missing a Free Throw in the opening...that is just one of the kooky mysteries of Atari.

 

Joust - The Finest home port of this game EVER. It is EXTREMELY close to the arcade game and but for some color limitations could easily be mistaken for the arcade game. A fine and excellent game for a fine and excellent game system.

I've always enjoyed Galaga on the 7800. Good choice.
