Perhaps Bébé Requin, a game about infant sharks. Actually it reminds me of Pakacuda by Comm*Data / Rabbit Software (VIC-20 & C64).

I keep all my 7800 games together and it looks really weird with the orientation flipped on this single game! Definitely still a big fan of the game, regardless.

It is very poor quality cardboard. The materials AtariAge uses are so much better! $(#*! fq me. That's exactly what I was trying to say. I've been working late nights and when I'm done, I come here. My thoughts may not be clear... I was trying to say the quality of Atari Age stuff is vastly superior, but still gives me that euphoric rush I had as a kid. Even when I buy enhanced editions of modern console games, with statues, etc... they don't compare to the homebrew releases and the love you can feel emanating from them. I should probably stop talking. I wouldn't say I'm misconstrued, simply because my writing is often so bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 PAL cardboard boxes suck, so flimsy. Same with those clamshell cartridge (Activision, HES, Salu) shells. Blech 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidbrit2 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hey, speaking of the left spine, I don't care about the left spine. The box looks great, and the game is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found this little convo funny, though, mainly due to those trying to say it wasn't a mistake because a handful of games for other consoles have the spine orientation that way. Got a good chuckle out of it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things happen. The number of PERFECT boxes I have got from you directly or have designed and got from the AA Store GREATLY out number this one hiccup. When Al gets the updated box for sale I will buy one and use this first release box for my 3D printed Limited Edition cart that PMP released himself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three are great games. Frenzy is amazing. You get two games in one cart (Frenzy & Berzerk) and head to head or co-op player modes.

I suspect this will be the definitive edition for me, especially with co-op. Of course, Frantic for 2600, Frenzy for Colecovision, and the original 2600 Berzerk are all outstanding conversions too. And I might as well own the 2nd-hardest Pac-Man game, right after Baby Pac-Man. Though I think the 2600 Jr. Pac-Man is harder than the arcade version... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolmoecraig Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Any chance that this would be relatively simple to port to the 400/800 or is that wishful thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
