mike99mccarthy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Im fairly new to the 7800 scene. I was wondering if any of the programming wiz's that post here on AA have ever tried to port over a title like Mega man, ninja gaiden, or something of that nature? I love platformers!! I am assuming this would be really hard(like basically re-programming from scratch)or it would've been done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I never heard of them, doesnt mean it aint in the mind of a few like ME! I would love a Mega Man for the 7800. I would not do a port/remake but something new. But would fit in perfectly with MM2 or MM3. I really just want to create afew new enimies and bosses. I would so jump on the chance to do the in game and box art for it! Others I would love to see reborn or totally original titles on the 7800 are: Contra...already have some 7800 sprites ready to go! Castlevania....same as above! Aliens Robotech Metroid Alien Storm Ninja Gaiden 2/3 R-Type/Gradius Shining Force Ghostbusters Final Fight Any type of Tower defence simuliar to Defense Grid Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors Street Fighter 2 Transformers Gi Joe Tempest But I can dream! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th lutz Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) No one has done an actually game of something like Ninja Gaiden or Megaman, but there was a demo of a platforming game found on a thread. 7800 demo thread There was a bunch of demos from that thread including a platform game demo. None of the demos actually turned into released games by the author though. Edited April 6, 2011 by 8th lutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacuumnoise Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 and dont forget this demo, personally I think it looks pretty cool, I like the simplification of it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNQ_As0ncaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have always been interested in a port of Super Mario All-Stars for the 7800. I sent GroovyBee a message in regards to this idea a while back, and he said that although it is possible, the process of translating the code from a 7800 rom to an NES would be extremely tedious and time consuming. We can always dream though!! I personally think that it would be great to take an extremely complex and technically demanding current gen games (GTA IV, Super Mario Galaxy) and "port" is over to the 2600 or 7800!!

ATARI7800fan Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sounds like it might be possible. Just how much time would it take seems to be the major factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd rather see that time spent on new and/or original games being written for the 7800. However, if anybody wants a challenge then go for it.

Armonigann Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm pretty sure if Mega Man for the 7800 was ported it would'nt be on a 2600 cart....just sayin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, which is why a unique mega-man style game would be a better option. I think Apolloboy suggested an interesting hybrid game in the 7800 XM suggestion thread.
