Shawn Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Desert Falcon = HOF as far as the 7800 goes Ballblazer=meh, never really liked this one on any system to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave1 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Check out my Desert Falcon gameplay here (latter 5 or 6 minutes): I think Desert Falcon is great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 As for POKEY audio in Desert Falcon, it wasn't done properly in the lazy XEGS port. I originally came into the thread to see if my ratings stayed true. They did. On the topic of lazy ports, in my naive younger days, I thought that Atari "deliberately crippled" 7800 games in order to push the XEGS to clear out the warehouse of stuff. After years in tech, seeing how software gets put together, I'm much more inclined to believe the Tramiels were simply cheap. With the XEGS, they were often able to grab source code done by original developers. When they had to do their own ports, they cut corners to get it done cheaply. While the 7800 usually was the victim in this, games like Desert Falcon on the XE definitely showed that the reverse could be true as well.
