I suspect Berzerk was only "enhanced" because the work was already done on it. No, the version recently released by Atari is different than the Roms on Atariage. Ben did mention there is another title coming that is being “enhanced”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyindrew Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I hope Atari has plans to do a re-release of 7800 Alien Brigade. This game is simply fantastic and does not get the recognition it deserves. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slab0meat Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I've never owned anything physical with the 7800, and I'm loving this. Ordered everything yesterday and looking forward to future releases. Good stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is impossible mission atari 7800? 🤔 If they are just adding speech like berzerk enhanced and a slightly higher resolution then i'll probably pass. I have impossible mission 7800 so just speech added doesn't really matter. I'll just play the C64 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane857 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 18 hours ago, MikeM_ said: I think the reason Nintendo and Sega don’t follow suit is because they don’t have to. Their strength is in their 1st party titles that they still own. Mario, Sonic, Zelda, etc. it’s super easy for them to release greatest hits collections for modern consoles and satisfy a majority of the consumers. A lot of Atari’s top hits were licensed from, or produced by 3rd parties. Space Invaders, PAC-Man, Donkey Kong, Pitfall!… Atari can’t easily repackage 2600 games that other companies own, so building a replica console that allows us to replay all our games, regardless of who owns the IP makes great sense. Plus they can re-release the IP they do have and generate new buzz in addition. And nintendo have the online subscription. Me personally No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentOrange96 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'm looking forward to being able to buy new paddles without an extra cartridge! As well the extensions will be very welcome. I have some longer cables from Best Electronics on my CX40's, but the CX40+ uses a different (better and more modern) connector inside, so the extensions are the best option here I think. The new hardware is too tight a fit in older hardware, (maybe round vs sharp angles on the DE9) but would otherwise make great options even for original hardware. I suspect they'll hold up a lot better long term than the originals. While I've never actually played 7800, I'm sure the new controllers for that will be pretty awesome too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, it's a good candidate since the original cartridge couldn't be beaten due to a bug, and certainly adding in speech would enhance it further. I'm still skeptical of any new work that hasn't already been done at some point, but we'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Run & Jump is brand new, though. i mean sure, they’re going to mine some nostalgia driven profit with their classic titles, that’s to be expected. just seemed like you were implying something nefarious in their motivations.

I would never imply something like that. I would outright state it if I believed it. With that said, to be clear, it was always just about the economics of it all. Again, we'll see how it plays out.

Buttons feel the same but I've been engineering the DPAD to be better. I've been dropping info here and there in AA regarding what I've been doing. I just cant see anyone prefering the original CX78 to the CX78+. But that is my opinion. If I get time I'll do a video to show the internals of the CX78+ in the next few days. Could you post pictures of the engineered differences between the original CX78 and the revised CX78+? It's pretty exciting to see old hardware come back like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was a light gun game just from how it controls, but then I looked at the manual and saw for sure that it was a light gun game. Unfortunately, I have neither a CRT, an Atari 7800 or a light gun for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
