Jaden (JRH) Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Alright, I'll give this a shot. My favorite 7800 retail game is Robotron 2084 (or Commando). My favorite 7800 homebrew is Rikki & Vikki. The WIP I’m most excited for is Ghosts 'n Goblins. My favorite controller to use with the 7800 is a Genesis controller, but I want to get a proper stick for it. My favorite 7800 game that others seem to hate is none of them. They all deserve the hate they get. I got my first 7800 console in July 2018. My favorite thing about the 7800 is the graphics for the games. I really love how colorful they are. If I had to choose two 7800 games to take to a desert island, they would be Pac-Man Collection and Commando. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a unique choice but after all these years I still enjoy playing it too so I can’t say I disagree. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jeremiahjt Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 My favorite 7800 retail game is Asteroids. My favorite 7800 non-retail game is Sirius. The WIP I’m most excited for is Defender. My favorite controller to use with the 7800 is is the CX78 JoyPad. My favorite 7800 game that others seem to hate is Pole Position II, Tower Toppler, or Double Dragon. Pole Position II and Tower Toppler both have quite a few fans, but lots of people do not like them also. Double Dragon probably skews more to the negative reaction than those other two. I got my first 7800 console in 1987 or 1988. My favorite thing about the 7800 are the ports of early to mid '80s arcade games. My favorite versions of Asteroids and Centipede live on the 7800. If I had to choose two 7800 games to take to a desert island, they would be Midnight Mutants and Scrapyard Dog. Two games I would like to finally beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 My favorite 7800 retail game is Food Fight. My favorite 7800 homebrew is Dungeon Stalker. The WIP I’m most excited for is Defender (this was so hard to choose, I could have easily picked a few others). My favorite controller to use with the 7800 is a stock Atari 2600 stick. My favorite 7800 game that others seem to hate is Hat Trick. I got my first 7800 console in ~1991. My favorite thing about the 7800 is great arcade-style action games - both ports and originals. If I had to choose two 7800 games to take to a desert island, they would be Pac Man Collection and Food Fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
