Midnight Mutants and Alien Brigade were Atari 7800 exclusives, and never existed anywhere else. Commando's 7800 rights might be owned by Capcom, because they did the original/Arcade, but I know back in the day Cartridge/home version rights were weird, and it was ported to everything under the sun.

Even thought I already have a custom NES 7800 gamepad. But it doesn't hurt to have another one. Especially one from Atari. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akator Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Will these pre-orders also be available on Amazon like the 2600+ and Gamestation Pro were? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a Mercs guy. I do have a relationship with Capcom. But Im unsure the value of the deal will pass a threshold. I'll ask him though tomorrow. Anything else Capcom published on 2600 /7800? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altho my 7800 library is so slim that pretty much anything other than Hat Trick would be a welcome addition. And I can't imagine Atari is working overtime to rerelease Hat Trick so I should be good! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad5200 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 @Ben from Plaion For the DB9 Extension Cable, are there 9 wires inside the cable making it a complete extension cable? Or are some of the pins missing a wire and if so, which ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that there were any other Capcom games on 2600 / 7800 but there was a homebrew version of 1942 that is supposed to be very good 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrZarniwoop Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just now, Dr Karnov said: homebrew version of 1942 that is supposed to be very good It's incredibly good, and would make for a great new cartridge release for the 2600+/7800 if economically viable. Also, the homebrew Ghosts 'n Goblins appears inspired by Capcom. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is simply the start of many more releases for the 2600+ and legacy systems Any chance that game announcement might be Frenzy? It would be cool to have that on the 2600. Yes to more releases on the 2600+ & legacy systems. Keep them coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Man, I’m down for a bundle of those joypads and Ninja Golf. If they make Midnight Mutants at some point, that would be rad too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this game and it’s one of my favorite vertical shooters. This would be quite a win for the homebrew community to get an official license for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared it to C64 version and the homebrew is by far much much better. It plays like an arcade version.

BassGuitari Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Me: *Finds it strange that people are requesting Dark Chambers* Me: *Does cursory google and ebay searches of Dark Chambers for Atari 7800* Me: *Shocked Pikachu Face* When did the prices on Dark Chambers jump up so high? Of course the XEGS version is quite rare, but the 7800 version used to be a $15-20 game not long ago (maybe $25 CIB), and it's still not hard to find. Average asking price for a loose cart is about $50 now; insane. I can't imagine there's been that big an influx of new 7800 collectors in the last couple of years, but I could be wrong. (Maybe it's been longer than I realize? 🙃) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
