Wanted: 7800 Screenshots


Albert

Recommended Posts

I used to play Pengo back a lot in the arcade. I wouldn't mind trying to make it if anyone has any good insight into how the snowbees move.

 

That shot was edited from a Pac-Man collection screenshot. It was inspired by Curt releasing source files for many 7800 games. He wanted programers to edit the games to take them to really different directions. I knew that Pengo and Pac-Man arcade hardware was very similar to each other, so came the mock up.

 

As to how the snowbees move, my guess is they move like the ghosts in Pac-man without different AI.

And Rampage.
You guys are on a rampage. Literally. :lol:

No kidding. I'll have to think up some other projects after this. :D Maybe nice descriptions for all the 7800 games..

I thought you were going to say "screenshots for the Atari 8-bit computer cart games". :ponder: :D

Oh wow...I didn't know you had a list in progress! :)

Don't get too excited, I started that some time ago and it hasn't moved much since then. There are actually a fair number of 8-bit related pages that were started. Some examples...

Oops, I guess I opened a can of worms there. :P

 

Trying to get this back on topic; a couple of 7800 carts switch into a 2600 video mode, is there a particular 2600 emu that you want those screenshots taken in?

For the last few years I've always used the latest version of Stella.

Ack, Midnight Mutants was already done (page 2). I think Al forgot to add that one to the list. There are a few more different shots in yours though so it's not a total waste.

One can never have too much MIDNIGHT MUTANTS information!

Yep, my bad for not adding Midnight Mutants to the first post, sorry. I can add some additional screenshots, though, since more were taken the second time through. :)

 

Might be a good idea to take a brief look at the existing shots for a game before taking new shots, just to be safe. It'll be easy to tell if they are old shots by A) a horrible color pallet and B) only a few shots (not more than five typically).

Mord,

Looks like Xevious was already done on page 1. But same as my encounter with Midnight Mutants, you have many more screenshots added to what was already there.

 

 

Al,

Any chance of going through the 6 pages and double checking what's already been done and updating the list on the first post; or perhaps just listing what games are left that still need screenshots?

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind going through the pages. Here's the complete list in alphabetically order. Right off the bat, it looks like Ace of Aces is also missing from the first post:

I haven't added Ace of Aces yet, which is why it's not on the list. I update the list when I add all the new screenshots (which I do in batches). So in addition to the list, would be a good idea to look for my last post where I've said I've updated the list and then look for new shots posted after that..
