Are any more classic 7800 games likely to get modern reprints?

I wonder if it would be viable to  take the likes of a Pac-Man game and swap Bentley Bear in?

 

Speaking of which, we already have something better: Crystal Castles.

 

A 7800 port of the 1988 Atari 8-bit XE release would be excellent (not to be confused with the 1984 Atari 800 prototype), and it would be perfect by replacing its sprites with the better ones from the 2600 version.

Or, you could completely remake it for the 7800, for example here is a mockup I made a few years ago.

Yep, that's why I picked Bentley Bear to appear in an adapted Pac-Man as Crystal Castles is similar so it wouldn't just feel like a cheap knock off, BB already runs round a maze collecting things.

 

I agree, the best thing that could happen is that Atari shifts a high number of Atari+ consoles and that then makes licenced games viable. In the meantime why not leverage their own IP in some classic game genres?

I'm kind of hoping for at least Planet Smashers and Scrapyard Dog. Midnight Mutants would be nice but I'm not sure how much of an obstacle Al Lewis's likeness is.
