hi rickr,
 
 jack simply hated games, and did the least possible he could with them. he could care less what people thought of his games, terrible shame.

hi scott,
the reason why the tight leash atari had on programmers was rom space, period. choplifter, 32k, no ram, no second screen.
this played out on just about every game but commando. there were a few successes getting by jacks cheapness like impossible mission had ram, looked great, but alas. the bug.
by the time atari figured out the 7800, it was to late.
32k and 48k from a combined ram/rom hobbled many games.
there were some success like desert falcon, pole position II, and food fight, but there are only so many limited size games like that, that can carry a platform.
the plug in board the programmers are discussing is the one most likely that plugs into the atari ST. i got one. it allows you to program a 7800 game, and watch it in action because the board plugs into the cart port on the 7800.
the information atari had for programmers was built from scratch from what atari themselves figured out. they got no help from GCC because of how jack treated them.
i once pointed out to a atari engineer that on the 7800, there is a 32k window for the 2600, he was stunned. you can program a 2600 game on the 7800 in a full 32k, no banking needed.
so jacks atari was flying blind with the 7800, and by the time they figured it out, i say it was when commando was released, game over.

hi crossbow,
 
 if you ever played the XEGS version you would never play the 7800 version again. if you ever played the 2600 version, which should have been a light gun game, but joystick control is very good, you would never play the 7800 version again, at least that is the way it is with me.

hi justin,
 
 same with crossbow on the 7800, there is lag time when using the light gun. lag time usually means the code has to be loaded to use it. i wonder why cracked was not a light gun game? it sure needed it. but the lag time may have been a killer to game play. as is, its almost impossible to play.

hi guys,
it started out as a apple port i think. and the controls are bad due to something in the 7800 o.s. i remember discussing this with atari decades ago. so i do not remember what it was, something to do with controls riding on top of other code, it slows it down.

hi guys,
 
 in my stores when asked about sports games for the 7800, i always pointed out touchdown football. i never got a bad response back. when it was rented, fathers usually bought the game later on, big seller on the holidays.
other sellers, mat mania challenge, pete rose baseball, mean 18, and titlematch pro wrestling. real sports baseball landed with a thud, even though the splash screen was impressive to me, the game it self, BLAH! hat trick did ok because of the intermission.
