Classic Pac Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I was wondering was there any 7800 games that actually have a good ending? I know that the one in Alien Bridage has a sort of a good ending are there any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Fatal Run has a neat ending. Save the world type of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Fatal Run is fantastic ... an animated ending, which is cool. Alien Brigade is good. Planet Smashers is pretty good as well. Endings are usually not the 7800's strong suit ... even games that are generally considered good on that system are lacking in this department. Commando repeats, Xenophobe repeats, Midnight Mutants has a surprisingly lame ending for such a good game, Double Dragon is OK, Rampage repeats, Ikari Warriors is ok etc. I'd argue that FATAL RUN has the best ending on the 7800, but it's not (IMO) all that good of a game to inspire you to see it! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Vinnie Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Scrapyard Dog and Ninja Golf both have lame endings. Fatal Run is the best by far, but it's not great. Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It plays "Glory Glory Hallueluah" (which is hysterical) and types out how you brought honor to your house by finishing Ninja School.

+Propane13 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Scrapyard Dog has an ending. The difference between the "lose the last puzzle" and the "beat the last puzzle" endings are so minor though. Too minor. I was distraught sitting there and waiting to watch the poor little dog squirming in that last scene (snif!). I'll never let you down again, Scraps! Never! -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I cannot do it myself cause I'm just getting into 2600 hacking but it would be cool to take alot of those games that just loop and add an ending to them. Even if it was just a "You Win" or "The End" that noted some type of completion that would be cool. A hard reset would be cool also (as in you cannot press 1 or 2 to start agian). I know Rampage would be back in my collection pretty quick if it actually had an ending, even if it was as simple as "You Distroyed The World!!" What do you guys think? It couldn't be that hard seeing as so many guys are adding "Start" screens to all the classic games, Well now some 7800's need an end screen too!!

Cousin Vinnie Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Alright you jerks. How in the holy hell did you guys beat Scrapyard Dog? Were the big sewer jumps in world 3 the hardest part? If so, I may give it another go. Cousin Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I just beat Commando and I think the end screen is kinda cool. Just you the Army Dude standing there with a "All Missions Complete" text with a Army Nurse giving you your victory kiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I may give it another go. Cousin Vinnie 949918[/snapback] This coming from the man who beat Karateka? And, what about Planet Smashers? I always get the Earth Shield nuked, and then find out that all of my reserve men are toast. For Scrapyard dog, IIRC *most* of the bad sewer jumps can be worked around. You just have to find a tube/pipe/hole that warps you past them. I believe this can be done in 80% of all "hard jump" situations. You just have to be willing enough to explore a little. Of course, while exploring, you'll probably end up screwed in one of these bad-jump situations anyway, but, well, they all "techincally" can be beaten. But, they still do suck. if you have one in particular you're stuck on, let me know. Maybe I can plot a path for ya. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Does anyone have a Scrapyard Dog trainer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well, I'll tell you this. I picked up Tower Toppler yesterday and I will never, ever, in a million years see the ending of that game. I'll be lucky to make it past the second tower. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 You can also see the ending to Tower Toppler fairly easily by using the level cheats. http://www.atari7800.org/hints.htm Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The ending to Tower Toppler is also pretty lame ... ironically also the first 7800 "ending" I actually saw! Is the ending to IMPOSSIBLE MISSION the same as on the Commodore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I always get stuck on Tower Toppler, level 4 I believe. There's a part with those blocks you're supposed to be able to shoot that I can't get around. I should play it a bit more though, I know there's a way.
