Doc4 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hey, King Asmo is sending me my first ever 7800 console. I have Impossible Mission and Galaga. But what games should I look for? Besides 2600 games. I have a massive heap of those now. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what might be a good next purchase?

zanza Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I've done the same.... Bought a boxed 7800 with 6 games Asteroids, Karateka...loose carts and Donkey Kong, Planet Smashers, Crack'ed, Mario Bros all with box and manuals. Same question: what are the top games for this console ? and the crappiest too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Well, I have about 40 in-depth reviews over at my site, plus the Best and Worst Lists and an interactive Game Ranking Machine. Between those three, I'm sure you will find the games you will be looking for...

Doc4 Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 Great site, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Well i dont have what look to me to be some awsome 7800 games like basket brawl,Fatal run, Midnight mutants and a few others. So from the 13 7800 carts i do have i would tell you to get Mario bros DOUBLE DRAGON MS pac man and xevious. They get alot of playing time from me along with galaga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicJoke Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Midnight Mutants BallBlazer Xenophobe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I play Asteroids the most, followed by Xevious, Xenophobe, Robotron and Ms. PAc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I would check out vinnys page and then go here to see if they have it only get the ones that are $3.50 and under http://www.gooddealgames.com/ForSale.html and the ones he dont have this place might have for $5 http://www.oshealtd.com/ I like these Double Dragon Fatal Run Food fight Midnight Mutants Motor Psyhco Ms. Pac-Man Ninja Golf Pole Position 2 Xevious Xenophobe Joust Desert Falcon Ace of Aces Alien Brigade BallBlazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 14, 2002 Author Share Posted March 14, 2002 So what I'm seeing is the definite games to get so far are: Ballblazer Xevious Double Dragon There seems to be a group love for these three at least. I will check it out. So, as far as Galaga and Impossible Mission go I'm screwed, since no one mentioned Galaga and I won't even be able to beat Impossible Mission.

Lemmi Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 No Galaga is a good title but since ya already had it you could judge for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Kay Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 For the most part, the strongest 7800 titles are the ones that Atari completed in '84 (CX7801 - CX7811 by model number). That's just my two bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 Which games fall into that category? I still haven't received my 7800 yet? (tap tap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolenta Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 My personal favorites are Tower Toppler and Impossible Mission, even though it's impossible to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well, Lemmi probably knows this from another message line, but I bought Food Fight, for the 7800 but still don't have the damn system. AHHHHHH I'm going insane waiting on it. I'm buying Ms Pac Man tomorrow morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 22, 2002 Author Share Posted March 22, 2002 Ok never bought Ms. Pac Man but tomorrow I will. I now officially am the proud owner of a 7800 system. It's beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, Markimus of K. PS: the above line should be added to the "the top ten list for collectors"! 'brooding'??? hey Mark, you gotta get out more!

ubersaurus Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Yeah the 7800 is a console that I can't wait to see what people do with in the next few years. It looks like its capable of so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginjiroku7800 Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I am new to the 7800 myself but I thought I could help out, here are some games that I think are worth playing Ballblazer Desert Falcon Hat Trick One-on-One Basketball Dig Dug Joust Here are some games not worth playing F-18 Hornet Crossbow (this game is worth playing but only if you have the light gun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
