Jaden (JRH) Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Well, the mystery game could be one of these... 1942 Atlantis Beamrider Demon Attack Gorf Gyruss H.E.R.O. Jumpman Jungle Hunt Kaboom! Lode Runner Miner 2049er Montezuma's Revenge Moon Patrol Mr. Do! Paperboy Pitfall Pitfall II River Raid Spy Hunter Star Wars Tapper Zaxxon Unless it's a game released after 1984, which is entirely possible too. It would be cool to see a later arcade or console classic get a port to the 7800. One that's not from the early 80's for a change. But no matter what it is, I'm excited to see it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevEng Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Now you've done it... thanks to "Gyruss Lemmings" I'm sitting here contemplating a game where your ship shoots lemmings. Pick up multiple lemmings, like humanoids in Defender, and splat them at your enemies to defeat them. Somebody, please make it so. Thx! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being selfish but as an owner of an actual fully working Gyruss arcade cabinet, I'm hoping for something else LOL! Although Lemmings would be kinda cool by itself on the 7800. But can the 7800 handle the horizontal scrolling smoothly with all the lemmings sprites? And the controls would be kinda a pain. Would have to employ the method where using the second button would move the cursor to the tool bar set and PAUSE the game action so you can select the tool needed. But if it were Lemmings or Gyruss, I would hope that the YM2151 gets thought about for music so my DF has more to stuff to sing to me! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man... that would be a dream for someone to make Gyruss for the 7800 using all the channels of a fully stocked DF. I LOVE the music on that game!

AND still have 2 voices from the TIA as I believe you can run them all at the same time from the DF. That would be a lot to work with as the TIA could handle the basic sound effects and use the YM and Pokey together for the music and maybe other sound effects when needed if the TIA can't keep up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically, if had the fully decked out DF you would get all that, plus instead of POKEY- Dual POKEY and also Covox for samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda insane but it would be amazing to see and hear. Heck add in the AVox+ for good measure to make it an even 20 then I say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMR Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 EXO kind of reminds me of a remake of an old game I played years ago. I can't remember what it was, but you drove a tank that had a detachable upper section that could fly and you could use it to explore other parts of the level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaden (JRH) Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Just checked out the stream. This game looks amazing so far! The graphics almost look Amiga-ish in terms of color and details. And those foreground details are super cool. Great work! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 I had bit of free time to experiment this evening and I got to thinking a bit about Shadow of the Beast and the cracking 4k demake on the 2600, Soul of the Beast. I wondered how close to the ST version the 7800 would be able to get if someone wanted to do an adaptation. This is just a fun "tech demo" and is not a game. I also have no plans to make it into a game. Everything is 160A, mostly converted from the ST version, the character is converted from the TG16 version The animation on the character is a bit janky, I didn't spend much time polishing it up. If I get some time I'll add a few trees etc. Personally I never liked the SoTB series, graphically lovely (Especially the Amiga version) but not my kind of game. I think the game would be probably be doable on the 7800 with some compromises. Anyway, here's my little doodle. Enjoy beast.mp4 Beast_tech_demo.a78 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
