Cousin Vinnie Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Okay, fellas... who wants to knock over a Brinks truck with me to help fund this Portland Expo run? Has there ever been a simultaneous release of this many 7800 games at once? It's crazy! And awesome! Can't wait! I just recently bought another bookshelf to display more 7800 games. It's a good thing I did! 2048 (Atari 7800) Attack of the PETSCII Robots (Atari 7800) E.X.O. (Atari 7800) Galaxian Arcade (Atari 7800) Keystone Koppers (Atari 7800) Pac-Man Collection 40th Anniversary (Atari 7800) Slide Boy in Maze Land (Atari 7800) UniWarS (Atari 7800) Oh, btw... where's Millie and Molly? I thought it was getting a release this next patch. Edited July 19, 2022 by Cousin Vinnie 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it may be... or/and some other surprises: Quote Here are some of the games we're planning on making available for the first time in Portland (and this is not a comprehensive list)... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much great 7800 development taking place right now, and with the new HOKEY boards, all new games can take advantage of POKEY audio. 7 hours ago, Cousin Vinnie said: Oh, btw... where's Millie and Molly?

I thought it was getting a release this next patch. It is hard to imagine. Bob cranked out close to that many in 2013. Which was the best year for 7800 fans maybe now finally outdone. You would think this is an Intellivision forum with the number of games except they do not all suck balls. If only it was the better days in the financial department 2010-2013. I used to buy every game made. Now with 3-5x the shipping and inflation affecting everything we do I might get one game for next Christmas if I am good. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With brexit, inflation ,fuel prices and shipping costs I've been priced out of the market for physical copies of games. I'm happy to buy digital downloads and have done so a few times this year. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be missing out on some A* games 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I haven't figured out the "how" part fully yet, but I do plan to offer my games as digital downloads at some point later this year (assuming there is interest/demand!). 2048 is already available for free. I'll likely polish that ROM up slightly for the physical release but I also plan to make that revision available for free download. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and what others released to make that the best year till now) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I also remember games like Moon Cresta, Astro Blaster, Asto Fighter, Rip-Off, and two or three others. Maybe not all exactly 2013 but all in that era. Bob saved the 7800 homebrew scene and single handedly kept it alive for another 5 years till a pile of programmers came onto the scene. Oh Frenzy... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kept the 7800 alive until more true believers came to help. I have so many Bob games left on my review site left to do. KC Munchkin, Meteor Shower, Crazy Otto, Jr. Pac Man, Space Invaders etc etc etc. He makes a game faster than I can review one LOL. 12 hours ago, Trebor said: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
