UnRedeemed Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 If reissue of 2600 games as multi: all of the eligible M-Network titles with as many per cart as is feasible from a business perspective, perhaps divided between the carts alphabetically. One issue with the original M-Network cartridges is their weird unstackable shape. Having them in the more convenient boxy format, with multiple games per cart, would be a real boon. And grouping them alphabetically would please the large number of us who organize their carts alphabetically for each publisher.

I see a bit of chicken and egg here. I can't imagine that new controllers would be made without a game on the market that can take advantage of them, but it's also hard to imagine putting a game to market without the controller available to take advantage of it. The only way I see this working (and I truly hope they do this) is to do a (true) trak-ball enabled game that also works if you just use a joystick (making the trak-ball available at the same time, but not requiring one to purchase it just to enjoy the game... and I really don't want to see such a game released only as part of a bundle with the trak-ball, as that would require those of us who already have the trak-ball to waste money getting another). And, yes, Crystal Castles would be my first choice. Edited May 10 by NicodemusLegend 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete with Box and manuals. With better labels on the Cartridges! Volume 1 Volume 2 and so on! Or release the whole set again individually Box and manual included!

I have a 7800 Centipede TB version that uses the right difficulty switch to select trackball or joystick mode. Additionally, this version also has improved graphics and animation. I wanted to send it to @Ben from Plaion to test but then I've been too busy with real life, I hope to send it to him soon. 53 minutes ago, NicodemusLegend said: And, yes, Crystal Castles would be my first choice. Crystal Castles for 7800 would be amazing. Just to get an idea, here's a 7800 mockup I did some time ago: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There already is a 7800 version of Scramble. Was playing it last night. It's pretty solid. My 2 cents. The 7800 doesn't have enough RPGs. yeah we got Penult coming, which is a 2600 game I think, but we need a solid version of Gauntlet, Dark Chambers is alright but... yeah. Gauntlet. That's the 80s. Seems like it should be able to do it. Either that or we need an Elder Scrolls game. That's a little more ambitious tho and will never happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reasonably certain you couldn't use Mattel's name (definitely in active use by Mattel), but I'm hoping "M Network" is fair game. We want folks to be able to identify the set as what they remember.

BeamRider Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Perhaps a spinner controller for use with Tempest 7800, a cart with classic and "4000"-style Tempest Other 7800 game ideas for the spinner: Blasteroids or racing games like Super Sprint And can be used with Indy 500 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want folks to be able to identify the set as what they remember. Atari bought the M Network name and "over a dozen games" recently. The only games we know they bought were Frogs & Flies, Space Attack, Astroblast, Star Strike, and Armor Ambush. Presumably Atari is keeping the whole list a secret so they can surprise us with the Atari 50 dlc coming later this year. Atari's attempt to trademark M Network met with failure due to a trademark of M Net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Atari think filed a lawsuit with an insurance company for unauthorized use of the Crystal Castles images in one of their commercials. If Atari is going thru the trouble of doing that, they might as rerelease 2600 version of it and/or make 7800 version of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I will start with releading the 7800 version of L.E.M. first 50 signed by Buzz Aldrin. Then 7800 Campaign 2024. 7800 Myst. 2600 Dark Keep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the L.E.M. homebrew for the 2600. It's a good game. Similar to Lunar Lander. It would be neat to have his signature though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord-Chaos Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Personally, I'd like to see Eye of the Beholder for the 7800/2600+, it's been converted to the Commodore 64 and it's a very good port, even has automapping, the DOS and Amiga Versions didn't have that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
