What arcade game could make a good 7800 games?

[8th lutz]

I don't expect these to be programmed. This is for fun. Puzzle bouble is know as Bust-a-move on console systems. I know some of these games are in my 2600/5200/7800 poll in the homebrew forum. The difference is this for the 7800 only. You are only can pick one of the games or pick none.

 

Here are the links for pictures and explanations about the games:

You put Snow Brothers on the other poll. I havn't even heard of most of these games. I voted for Puzzle Bobble.

I am aware of putting snow brothers and a couple others on the poll in the homebrew forum. Some people considered what to pick on the poll by what game would be great or good on all 3 systems or 2 of the systems. I know some picked the game by what would be great based on what system.

 

As for Snow brothers on the lynx. what needs to be understood that I was doing a poll based on the lynx. There are some arcade games that would look better on the lynx then 7800 based on some genres. I do think snow brothers could be good on the lynx and the 7800.

 

I understand why you have not heard most of the games. Some countries have games that some countries don't or are niche games. Frenzy is may or not have been released in the u.k as an arcade game or as a colecovision game. I think I know which ones you haven't heard of. I did try to help by giving out links to pictures of the games and possible some info on them. I know that pictures isn't the same as game play. I was going by the us or japan for the arcade games of choice. I also went by arcade game collections by game companies for game consoles. All the games I had on the poll are on game consoles besides being arcade games. If anyone outside of the United states have any ideas to put on arcade to game console polls are free to pm me on it. People in the North america can pm me for polls also. So i can gave an idea what to put on a poll and what not. I got somewhat of an idea for the states but for arcade game overseas is another matter.

Unfortunately the KLOV web site was down when I voted, but I still stand by my vote of Puzzle Bobble.

 

Your Mr. Driller link is pointing at Frenzy.

I must of accidently pressed the paste command instead of pressing the copy command.

If they made Contra for the 7800 back in the 80's, I would have bought one back then. I almost did for Ikari warriors, but no directional aiming like the arcade turned me off.

Back when my 7800 was new, a friend and I discovered an Ikari Warriors arcade game at a convenience store. Afterwards, we thought it would be perfect for the 7800 - but no such version existed then. We naturally assumed that the rotating knob on the joystick could be used to aim. Too bad that doesn't work in reality.

 

At least they let you strafe by holding the button down. The NES version doesn't even let you do that much.

Well, the 2800(Sears Video Arcade II) controllers had the built it paddles. So I didnt think it would have been a stretch to make a 7800 version. It seemed to me to be possible to have directional aiming like the arcade.

 

I didnt buy a 7800 until the mid 90s because there were no games that worth the investment from my 8bit system.

Well from the Poll listings I'd have to say I'd want to see/play a port of the arcade version of either Contra or Super Contra if not both. But based on their arcade versions not the revisionist Famicom 8 stage versions. Personally though, just about to kick off into 7800 collecting and playing, I'd like to see an arcade port of Rastan Saga and the Konami up into the screen (Outrun/Space Harrier-esque faux 3-D) RGS game of Devastators. Also if the Sega Master System could handle a port, it be nice to see someone do a port of Commando II: MERCS
