NintendoDieScreaming Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Well, today at a garage sale I managed to find an Atari 7800 and 3 games! Along with the system came one controller, Centipede, Basketbrawl, and Ballblazer. I got home, hooked it up, and (surprisingly) it works! Never played 7800 on emulator, and I have to say Im very pleased with the purchase. (You know what this means... ...I get to post in this forum now!)

SteveW Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Ballblazer is one of the 7800's best. I always had to set the computer player's AI higher than the XEGS version. And Basketbrawl is a good one, too. I've always liked the game both on the 7800 and the Lynx, but a lot of people don't. And I have no real opinion about Centipede. I have it, but I never really cared for the arcade game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip_Cannon Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 The 7800 also has IMHO one of the best versions of Commando ever created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedijeff Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Ever since I first bought it, Food Fight has been my favorite 7800 game. I highly recommend you pick it up. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thund3r Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 ninja golf and tower toppler are the most inotive games on the 7800, defently own these titles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I look at it this way, the 2600 is fun to collect for but the 7800 is fun to play. Some of the best arcade translations going for a classic system. You can't go wrong with any of the 7800 titles but Food Fight, Ms Pacman and Robotron are awesome.

Shaggy the Atarian Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I keep hearing so much about Food Fight myself I really will have to get this now :wink: I would really like to get Midnight Mutants though. But congrats on your purchase. I use my 7800 quite often, in part because of the backwards compatibility with the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
