Lol very nice it looks incredible. Can't wait for the website to carry them! Edit: I love the new box art that games have been having but I'm so incredibly happy that this has the traditional silver like other 7800 titles. Great work.

+darryl1970 Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 I was trying to recreate a "bug" at PRGE for @mksmith. I remembered how to do it. I left this in the game, because I find it funny. It's too little, too late, for Popeye! The "death" sound effect makes the music play wonky, and it really fits the scenario. Here's an early bug I found while checking to see if I'd recorded this. I forgot about this one. Unlike the ship scenario, I didn't leave this one in the game. I figure the ship scenario would rarely happen. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mksmith Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Haha - finally got it mate 😁 I just missed seeing it and Darryl tried about 10 times to try and recreate it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When available - it will be seen in the Atari Age Store. Likely, with a few to several other recently released 7800 games, showcased at PRGE. 2 minutes ago, EightiesChild said: Original Question: Is the fan-created Popeye 7800 available for purchase as a physical cartridge that will actually work in an original Atari 7800 console?

Original Question: Is the fan-created Popeye 7800 available for purchase as a physical cartridge that will actually work in an original Atari 7800 console? I am sorry I missed your first question. Thank you @Trebor for answering this. I can't wait to get my physical copy, box, and manual! 9 hours ago, mario64 said: Will there be a digital purchase option? I believe that Al intends to sell digital ROMs in the AA Store eventually. I do not have any idea where that stands. I appreciate physical copies, but I don't have a lot of display space and love that digital eliminates the need to clean up a pile of carts after a gaming session. I totally get the desire for digital purchases. 9 hours ago, 7800Knight said: Believe me, I will set money aside to buy a copy of Popeye on the Atari 7800. I am glad that you like the game.

EightiesChild Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Thanks, everyone, for answering my questions. And thank YOU, Darryl, especially for designing/developing an honest-to-goodness port of the classic Popeye game for the Atari 7800!!! I will stay tuned to this site and order a copy at the earliest possibility. Edited October 31, 2022 by EightiesChild 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyſical copies of 7800 & 2600 homebrew are juſt about þe only gaming þing þat’s appealing to collect for me þeſe days. A lot of oþer ſtuff has kinda loſt its luſter where þe 7800 haſn’t. I traded away my NEO GEO AES, for example. I can’t wait to get Scramble 7800 in þe mail! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
