+mksmith Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Some great games on the list! Hopefully we'll see some or all of them on the 7800 one day ? Bubble Bobble would be another to add to the list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreaspv Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 I see that there are guys who are very good at programming .. this is the reason for my topic ... as an atari fan (I own all A2600, A5200, A7800) I would like to see some famous ports that are missing .. for Atari 5200 Gyruss came out and it's really good .. I don't know if you know the cartridge version .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BydoEmpire Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 All of the above, really, but I voted for my top 3: Tapper, Pooyan and Moon Patrol, in that order. I just don't have that many versions of those games and I think they'd play really well on the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Gyruss, Tapper, and Moon Patrol were decent enough on 2600, and games like 1943 are not my favorites, so I voted Pooyan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 100% Gyruss, especially if someone was able to compose an incredible version of the music using Pokey. Gyruss has one of my favourite soundtracks of any game. - James 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I bet a 7800 version of Moon Patrol would be a fun project, and seems quite doable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5200 and A8 versions already have a pretty darn good POKEY soundtrack; a 7800 version could add in firing sounds via TIA (much like COMMANDO uses both POKEY and TIA sounds), plus multi-colored sprites. I'd be all over a 7800 version. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not disagree with that. The 7800 is a hugely capable platform. I'd love to see Bubble Bobble or even Gauntlet. I can just imagine Atarivox yelling "Red Elf is about to die". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Muddyfunster Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just a friendly comment and I don't mean to be rude, this is like your 4th post asking for a port of Gyruss in a couple of days. Porting a game from any platform (Atari or otherwise) to the 7800 is a lot of work. Maybe even hundreds of hours. It also doesn't happen overnight. Programmers / Developers usually have their own projects to work on. They aren't paid and even if a game makes it to cart, the payback equivalent is usually pennies. That's why we make stuff that appeals to us or that we find interesting. If someone takes on Gyruss, that would be cool but that won't happen just because you keep asking There are lots of other projects going on, check them out, try the demos, provide feedback. Maybe someone will pick up Gyruss, maybe not. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreaspv Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 I kindly reply .. some time ago I started a project on another platform, they asked me, I started and made it public for free. So it's a simple request. Why don't developers earn anything if they sell a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't developers earn anything if they sell a game? a) The number of cartridges that would need to be sold in order to fully compensate developers for their time and effort is always much higher than the number that actually sell. There aren't a million people out there looking to buy 7800 software these days; it's a very small audience. b) Piracy.

I hadn't thought about piracy, as I imagine that those who buy Atari, like me, love to have, see and touch the little houses ... in addition to all the "rest" .. maybe then it would be more correct to collect for those who decide to create a game..

No ETA, though, depends when I find time. Good progress lately, though, who knows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
