Best 7800 game of 1987?

[guyjin]

What was the best game released for the 7800 in 1987?

 

we did a series of polls like this over at another gaming forum about a year ago, it was pretty interesting - hope you guys like it!

 

(if there are any errors, I got the list of 7800 games released in '87 from AA itself, so blame them, not me)

[HatNJ]

Robotron of course

[ApolloBoy]

These are the games released in 1987, according to the sales figures Curt posted:

 

Choplifter

Desert Falcon

Hat Trick

Karateka

One-on-One Basketball

Winter Games

 

Here's the correct dates for the others, if Albert happens to be reading this:

 

Asteroids - 1986

Ballblazer - 1988

Centipede - 1986

Crossbow - 1989

Dig Dug - 1986

Food Fight - 1986

Galaga - 1986

Impossible Mission - 1989

Joust - 1986

Ms. Pac-Man - 1986

Pole Position II - 1986 (1984 if you count the test release)

Robotron 2084 - 1986

Summer Games - 1988

If this is the official '87 list, than I'll go with One-on-One Basketball. (originally chose Galaga)

Why not change it to "best games available BY 1987," as that seems to be when the 7800 was really up and rnning (wasn't the 86' release pretty late in the year?). Then the list is what I have quoted above.

I'd love to, but as far as I know, I can't edit it.

Despite its flaws I would choose Hat Trick.

 

I like One On One but I was already sick of it from the A800 and C=64 days

 

At least HT was a "new" game

Robotron 2084 hands down.

I actually think Desert Falcon was a very impressive game indeed!

[Armonigann]

Karateka no.1!!! LOL...j/k (even though I really do enjoy it) I'm going with Desert Falcon for the best of '87!! IMOP..of course

[Lord Thag]

Desert Falcon and Xevious
