Dauber Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm looking for feedback a future episode of the Atari 7800 Homebrew Podcast (you can find it on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or use this feed: http://feeds.feedbur...com/homebrew78)What are your thoughts on Astro Fighter? This game will be covered on Episode 28. Deadline is 11:59pm CST on Wednesday, January 10. Sorry for the limited time...holiday weirdness as you'd expect. Aaaand...while I'm at it...I think I'll also cover Chicago Basement. Same episode! Share your thoughts! You can also e-mail text or audio to homebrew78 -at- fab4it -dot- com.Comments are welcome any time, including after the deadlines; any feedback from after the deadlines will simply be addressed during a later episode.

gambler172 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Both are good games.Astro Fighter is a great Arcade port. CB is a great homebrew....no Top 10 titles,but really good games. greetings Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 When you post titles to games like Chicago Basement, would you please include a hyperlink pointing to the game? Would help bring awareness to the lesser known stuff or potential sales to the AA Store if a game like Astro Fighter exists there. Santa Simon Sick Pickles Fat Axl ...are a few others you've listed recently that many (like myself) might not even know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 D'oh! Good idea....wish I had been doing that from the beginning! Thanks... Just some friendly suggestions. I try to provide them when I remember to and am on my desktop computer (doesn't work in iOS). I don't own either, but since you also ask for thoughts... Astro Fighter - like Moon Cresta, this is a shooter that's a wee bit too "meh" for me. I can totally appreciate it for what it is, along with its place in history et al, but wouldn't sit and play such a game today. I really like Astro Blaster though and other early shooters such as Astro Invader, which has yet to see a port for the 7800 (someday I hope!) but with better shooting games available on the system, Astro Fighter is one that I think I'll continue to pass on. Chicago Basement - looks like simplistic fun and love the humor here. Judging by the gameplay video, looks to be kind of like a Fast Food type of game, where you're picking certain things up while avoiding others. Guess I don't know too much about this kind of a game as I don't do emulation, own a 7800 Flashcart or otherwise pay super close attention to the 7800 WIP (work in progress) scene. But I get the impression games like this are never really finished/polished or meant to just be cute little mini-games/demos as programmers cut their teeth learning a system. And that's not meant to be a rip at all, just not always my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
