lucifershalo Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Ok, it is not the most famous arcade game, but strange AND a shame that Fast Freddie was never converted to Atari 8 bit or 7800..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Because no one has been paid to develop and program the game, and no one with the talent has the resources and/or interest to do so up to this point. Of course, it can be added to the Games you wish had come out on the 7800 thread. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never a big seller into the arcades so was unlikely to be a hit in cartridge form Atari didn't develop it (it was licenced from Kaneko, IIRC), and so Atari may not have had the rights to do computer and/or console ports of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreDecker Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) Oops, misread title. Freddie and Eddie must be siblings... Edited January 22, 2023 by CommodoreDecker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neogeoman Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 One of my favorite arcade games as a kid, have many fond memories playing fast freddie in my grandfather's candy store every day after school. As far as I know there are no home ports and I've been searching for years for the arcade PCB to use at home with my supergun with no luck. Obscure and ridiculously difficult to find it will have to live on in my memories but will always continue to hunt one down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 What'd be cool is if an enterprising 7800 developer could not only make this game but also give the player the option of playing either Fast Freddie or Flyboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when obscure arcade games with no home ports finally get a home release, I actually look forward to these games over ones that are ported over and over again to every system. Stratovox is a perfect example so I snatched it up immediately. Heres hoping more games like this see the light of day...and fast freddie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
