Underball Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 So I posted my short list of wanted games in this thread to be added hopefully to the 7800, given the fantastic hack/homebrew scene that has developed in the last few years. But just for proper placement, I'll start a discussion about it here as well. My most wanted: Crystal Castles Spy Hunter Donkey Kong ARCADE(with all levels and better sounds) Gyruss Stargate/Defender Time Pilot Zaxxon (possible hack of Desert Falcon) by the way - in case some of you hadn't noticed, the thread I linked above is PacManPlus' awesome new homebrew version of Space Invaders for the 7800, that is nearing Arcade perfection, as it moves along. I know a lot of you would like to see non-ports, or original games. But I'm really just an old arcade buff, and the 7800 dose such a great job with these types of games.

+Sauron Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Spy Hunter and Defender would both rock. However, I'd really like to see some original games as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 This is a great topic! I'm definitely going to echo the following games: Spy Hunter Donkey Kong Arcade (yes all screens, animations, BETTER sound) Defender Frogger (I've seen a rom when it was in the development phase, but not sure if it's been completed) My arcade addition is: Popeye Among non-arcade game, I'd like to see a port of: BC's Quest for Tires One of my disappointments with the 7800 is that since it wasn't released until '86, it missed out on a lot of cool early 80s games like Popeye, Pac-Man (until now), Frogger, etc. Given it's graphics capabilities I'd like to see what it could do on these games, although in terms of audio I'm not so sure...

Where could I go about aquiring these games? http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?act=Search&f=4 Ahhh.... The old search linky. Clever. Anyhow, before you posted this here is what I figured out... Centipede TB - There was a thread about it, but it seems it went nowhere. Frogger - Apparently it was almost complete, but I see no confirmation of a finished product. Q*Bert - Also looks close, but again there is no confirmation that it was finished. So I would still like those to be on my list since they aren't likely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would still like those to be on my list since they aren't likely done. Q*Bert is complete and can be bought from the Atariage Store. It goes by the name B*nQ so as not to offend copyrights. Centipede TB is in fact complete. It was coded by Kenfused, who also coded Beef Drop (burgertime). Beef Drop is also Available in the AA store. Frogger is at release candidate level. It's complete in every way. Edited July 9, 2008 by Underball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Centipede TB is in fact complete. It was coded by Kenfused, who also coded Beef Drop (burgertime). I could probably make centipede tb carts, but don't have the equipment to make really good labels yet. I was hoping to hear feedback if it works on both TB's in trackball mode or if I need to add more code for that. I would also probably want to add something to the title screen to distinguish it.

Mitch It works great with the original white-ball CX-22, and the black-balled CX-80 "looking" one that is actually a CX-22 also that Best Electronics sells.

One thing I thought would be cool to distinguish it from the Atari original version - remove the border box from the playfield. It always bugged me that they put that there when it really serves no purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I know Crystal Castles was worked on at one time. The artwork for the label and box does exist. I would like to see Missile Command. I find it really odd that system created by GCC doesn't have Missile Command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Tempest is a must Bubble Bobble Donkey Kong hacked with POKEY sound to stop my ears bleeding A decent version of Pac Man (j/k Bob ) Not arcade, but Boulder Dash would be great to see as the 2600 version is on hold Phoenix Sinistar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I second the vote for Bubble Bobble. I think the 7800 would be the ideal platform for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Which trackballs did you want it tested with? Mitch I only have a CX22 to test with. I just tested with a CX22, CX80 and an Atari ST mouse. The CX22 and CX80 both work. The ST mouse twitches a little bit but is not really controllable. Anything else you want it tested with?

+DamonicFury Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Missile Command would be nice, as every other Atari console has a port (2600, 5200, XE, Lynx, Jaguar) Which makes me wonder... is there currently a game that has ports for all Atari systems?
