Trebor Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 7 minutes ago, hizzy said: I wonder why Atari is putting out Berserk and Frenzy? it's the same game... That's similar to stating Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man are the same game. See Al's post. Frenzy contains a slew of differences from Berzerk. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371209-atari-7800-announced-along-with-10-new-games-and-2-new-controllers/page/29/#findComment-5546274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hizzy Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I would have liked a bit of variety, maybe a different port from Bob? Frenzy is cool and so is Berserk but I don't feel the need to get them both at the same time.

Sean_1970 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Still cannot pre-order most of the new carts from Amazon UK. Caverns of Mars looks okay, but when you try to complete the transaction it says it’s not available. What is going on here and will it be fixed by the end of November when they’re supposed to release? 😅 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371209-atari-7800-announced-along-with-10-new-games-and-2-new-controllers/page/29/#findComment-5546954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s surprising, but I pre-order Evercade from Funstock, despite them charging up-front for pre-orders, which I’m not impressed with. I’ve pre-ordered my remaining carts from HMV as well. Been to the shop in the past, but haven’t tried their online shop so we’ll see how it goes!

One of my favorites. I picked instead of Berserk 2600+ voice enhanced for $5 more at 2600+ launch.

I used Argos for filling in my collection, but they don’t seem to be as good for pre-orders? Certainly I didn’t see the last lot when I got the notification from Blaze, but Funstock always has pre-orders available when I get the email. 7 hours ago, JetmanUK said: Well I use them online, but I believe they still have a small number of physical shops around the country too, not been in one in along time myself. We still have one on Argyle Street in Glasgow. Still the only place I can find to play pinball, though it’s just a couple of newer Stern machines in the basement with the music. Shame the multi-story one on Sauchiehall closed years ago - they had several pinball machines like a wee arcade! 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371209-atari-7800-announced-along-with-10-new-games-and-2-new-controllers/page/29/#findComment-5547297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
