Second would be Star Raiders with Video Touch Pad and overlay with, again, full 2600+ compatibility. I would love it if they also came out with a second game to use with the Driving controllers. What about Enhanced Pole Position 2 on the 7800 or Sprint Master? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChickenz Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I have to say I’m up for any rereleased products. It’s nice to have CIB games! And I promise I won’t throw out the boxes this time around! 👍 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a email in my drafts for Capcom on this, but I keep avoiding sending it because I cant face the probable rejection. No risk, no fun @Ben from Plaion. 😜 I understand your pain, I am dealing on a daily basis with new projects and the initial part can be cumbersome. Once it runs it runs.

+Mitch Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Star Raiders would be nice but I am guessing that including the touch pad would make it too expensive. Not knowing what exactly Atari has the rights to makes it hard to make realistic suggestions. Mitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJ Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I'd really like to see an updated Atari Golf (i.e. full 18 hole courses, simultaneous play, some fanfare for pars and better, etc.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Ok, I thought of something... Scrapyard Dog on the 7800... I "want" to like this game, I really do but the difficulty is too high so I pretty much hate it. Maybe an enhanced version that is easier/more playable 😃 there are other things that could be changed to make it more fun too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokmic Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I’d love to see Centipede or Alien Brigade 7800 versions because they are quite expensive and difficult to find here in the UK, and Asteroids 7800 because it never came out here as a separate cart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJ Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Since M-Network is fair game, I like to see updates for two of my favorites: - Bump N' Jump - Dark Cavern 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane857 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 All great suggestions. Ultimately thou I think, personally all 'original' controllers have to have support...💪🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stamos Mullet Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 5 hours ago, Crazy Climber said: Im sorry to be blunt but I have no interest in direct reproductions of old games. Yeah, a very few might make sense and jazzy art packages do kinda tempt me sometimes but I probably won't ever actually by them... If for no other reason than to undercut the insanely overpriced "collectors" market it's still a good idea even if you aren't interested personally. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Alien Brigade would be cool, I have a copy of the original artwork as well. But you would have to ignore the light gun part. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Fiorillo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Having the entire Atari catalog for the 7800, I'd like to see some new classic titles... Crystal Castles, Millipede and Missle Command I believe are owned by Atari. This would be great if the Trak-ball issues get solved. If the rights for Qix could be obtained, that would be a nice 2 button game! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Fiorillo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Just thought of another idea: any 7800 light gun exclusive games that can be reworked for joystick / trackball use? Meltdown, Sentinel, Alien Brigade, Barnyard Blaster? Maybe even a dipswitch controlled multi-cart? Something tells me I'm just warming up on this topic!!

SuperZapperRecharge Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 8 hours ago, Ben from Plaion said: Bottom line for me is that homebrew 2600 and 7800 scene is amazing and one filled with people that are full of passion, they while the hours away mostly as a hobby. I dont think anyone if driving off in a Lambo and thats the rub, the amount of hours needed to make a game with the quality of the titles you mentioned at the moment just costs too much vs the return on investment....this could all change though. Homebrew developers do make money off their sales on Atari Age and even some sales on the VCS. Now it isn't enough to make back what they put into the game at all. There is currently a system where games do get published. If you had a similar payment structure I'm sure developers would like to get their games published. A percentage of sales would make most sense as this is how it works on the VCS to a point. This information is readily available to you with people you know who work for, um Atari! If the licensing is worked out a developer may want to work on certain games just as they currently do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they can revive the bloated corpse of Froggo so I can get a new sealed in box Tank Command 7800. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I would like to see Crystal Castles for the 7800 but might need a working 7800 trackball controller. Still, Atari was apparently working on it back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperZapperRecharge Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Adventure but make the mazes huge, nearly impossible. Add a lot more enemies. Add a lot more Easter eggs. Call it "The Next Adventure". Have it be a 64K rom. Keep the square as the protagonist. Add other characters from other Atari games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChickenz Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 If it’s not to much trouble. Red Dead Redemption! Maybe with an Ethernet port on top of the cartridge for online multiplayer! If not I would settle for 🕹🕹🕹🕹🕹 AIR RAIDERS 🕹🕹🕹🕹🕹 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bent_pin Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The entire collection from the Flashback 2 on a single cart. Real value for the dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbob Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 15 hours ago, Ben from Plaion said: I have a few samples of the new lines to giveaway. 3 x Gamepads 2 x Paddle Packs 2 x Joysticks Food Fight Fatal Run Same as the Christmas giveaway - to win one just post in the thread what 2600 or 7800 game you'd like to see Atari release - re-issue of an old game, port from a different system, perhaps a newly developed game? I'll pick the winners on May 31st, good luck! Sorry, I just have to ask the question, I see that one of the prizes is Fatal Run and another one is Food Fight, but how come one of the prizes isn’t the new DB9 Extension Cable? 🤣😜😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it man, I do... For some games it makes sense (and I did mention that) but for many of them it seems kind of unnecessary... I guess if people are buying them though its a good move for the company. I'm just kind of surprised there is that much interest in say an "Outlaw" remake. Thats a pretty common game thats not really on the "A list" if you know what I mean The multicarts sound interesting though... Ultimately I really do want Atari to succeed...I'm a fan and will support as much as I can. Ive got a VCS and an Atari 2600+ but I kind of draw the line at buying games I already own, or can acquire originals much cheaper (food fight for instance) I understand its a good way for Atari to (cost effectively) get software out but... I wonder how many people saying they want or support these reissues of old games (they likely already own in some form, flashcards, etc) are actually PURCHASING them? It would be easy for me to say "remake Ninja golf" since I don't own it and its expensive with the box, but am I going to actually pay $30, $40 or $50+ for it? Probably not... Just thought I owed it to Atari to be honest...I'm not very interested in remakes of the same old games. but if other people are buying them and its making Atari some decent money....I totally support it 😃 so don't get me wrong here! By the way - Plutos and Sirius are 2 games that could really benefit from some minor tweaking. I think they would play well with some very small "enhancements" (assuming these IP are owned by Atari?) I don't know though...maybe not? 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
