The_Laird Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I ment its unrealistic because ita a NINTENDO game not that the 7800 couldn't do it. You could rename it and change the graphics a bit i suppose but it wouldn't be the same. I never liked it that much anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdement Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think its a shame that they never released Gauntlet. The guy who programmed Jinks was supposedly working on Gauntlet, and he even threw in some audio clips from it in the Jinks startup screen. The limitation of his technique for playing voices on the 7800 is that it eats up all the CPU time, so you can't really animate the screen while playing the sound. But that fits perfectly with Gauntlet, because that game has some obvious pauses during a lot of the sounds anyway. The high sprite count also would have fit well with the 7800. I'm not a huge Jinks fan as far as gameplay goes, but I think the programmer was quite talented. My guess is that if he had finished Gauntlet and been given an adequate ROM size to work with, it could have been an outstanding port. Released earlier, it could have even put a dent in the system wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Here's another one I forgot about until today when I decided to play my 5200 for a while: Space Dungeon. That game would rock on the 7800, especially where it can handle more sprites on the screen than the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I would like to have seen Star Castle released for ANY of the classic systems. It's one of my favorite early arcade games, and it never got ported to anything (other than the Colecovision homebrew Star Fortress).

Shaggy the Atarian Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 True, Star Castle would be cool and I bet with the 7800's higher resolution it could turn out nicely. BTW someone is making an update of Star Castle on the Dreamcast called DCastle. I can't remember the URL to the site, but if I do I'll post it here. It looks cool.

Trip_Cannon Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Street Fighter 2 Alpha Street Fighter 2 is indeed unrealistic. So you don't think the 7800 is capable of that huh? You know, both the NES and SMS had a version of Street Fighter 2 on their respective systems. C64 too! SMS had Mortal Kombat even! Granted there was a few characters and stages missing. Does anybody think it could have been pulled off on the 7800? Like if the 7800 was truly explored and had the larger memory carts been developed.

Curt Vendel Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Gauntlet (as opposed to Dark Chambers) would've been great on the 7800... Space Dungeon could've been done, I have blueprints for a dual controller holder for the 7800 Proline sticks that is just like the 5200 dual controller holder, so Atari was planning quite a bit for the 7800, just kills me that all this great stuff just never made it. I would've loved to have seen Toobin, Hard Driv'n, Steel Talon's and a lot of the later Atari Games coin-ops translated to the 7800 as they were on the Lynx, Battlezone, Gravitar, Tempest, Major Havoc couldve all been translated well on the 7800 as well. Curt I think its a shame that they never released Gauntlet. The guy who programmed Jinks was supposedly working on Gauntlet, and he even threw in some audio clips from it in the Jinks startup screen. The limitation of his technique for playing voices on the 7800 is that it eats up all the CPU time, so you can't really animate the screen while playing the sound.

I rather have Frenzy, the little known sequal to Berzerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have CV Frenzy, but I tend to fire up Berzerk VE for my 2600 more often. I just find it more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Well, I always liked the fact you can shoot the walls and the walls won't kill the player. Here's a mockup pic on what Frenzy might look like on the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardware could definately accomodate a great port AND with double joystick support like Robotron has. Also, i'd love to finally see a great port of Zaxxon (none of the console/computer ports do it justice - IMO) and how about getting Jumpman on a cartridge and Zookeeper once and for all, not to mention Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space harrier Contra Jr. Pac-Man Super Pac-Man Pac-Mania Rainbow Islands Arkanoid (PADDLES!) Athena Bosconian Cameltry (very fun maze game.. would be PERFECT use for the driving controls) Crystal Castles (Trak-Ball support for CX22 and CX80) Marble Madness (dual Trak-Ball support) Defender Defender II/Stargate Dig Dug II Bad Dudes VS Dragon Ninja Frenzy Berzerk Space Dungeon Gauntlet Gauntlet II (is there anyway to do 4-players for these on a 7800?) Frogger Galaxian Gradius (the original) Karate Champ Millipede Missile Command (Trak-Ball for that and Millipede, anyone?) Mr. Do! Mr. Do!'s Castle Rally-X New Rally-X Operation Wolf (if there was a way to fix the gun's accuracy) Phoenix Puyo Puyo Q*Bert Qix Q*Bert'S Qubes R-Type Raiden Rygar (though you could argue more for the NES version) S.T.U.N. Runner Satan's Hollow Side-Pocket Sinistar (BEWARE, COWARD! I am Sinistar..) Snow Bros. Solomon's Key Super Pang/Super Buster Bros. Zaxxon Super Zaxxon Wizard of Wor Yie Ar Kung Fu That's pretty much the list that I can create that are doable on the 7800.. I'd include "Smash TV".. but that's really a game meant for dual-joysticks for both players.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
