    Funkmaster V/ Vinnie Vineyard reviews what he considers one of the crowning achievements of the Atari Recharged series: Gravitar Recharged. Almost everything about this title is VASTLY improved over the series' predecessors. Playing this game with a classic controller is one of the best reasons to purchase an Atari VCS console #retrogaming #atari #atarivcs

    I've been sick- so I'm behind on reviews- but today I am making a comeback! Today we look at infamous retro game reviewer, John Hancock's, new 7800 puzzle game: Block 'Em Sock 'Em. This port is on the Atari VCS 800 at a good price point- albeit with disappointing concessions. This game has been ported to the Atari Jaguar, SNES, and originated on the Sega Genesis. #puzzle #retro #atari #atari2600 #atari7800 #atarivcs

    Sneakybox's Atari Recharged series has been a success, but this new paint job on an old Atari 8 bit computer homebrew was the most surprising game in the series. And... it may be the best!

    Jon Stoll II has decided to step away from doing the Atari Network Podcast, and I’m not continuing it without him, so that will essentially be the end of that. I will still update the Atari 7800 Forever website and YouTube Channel, and he will continue with the Atari Network YouTube channel. We had a fun run and I hate that it came to an end. Thanks to everyone who followed and participated in the chat! So much fun! #atari #atari7800 #atari2600

      You ever see that show Quantum Leap where Scott Bakula goes back in time to put right what once went wrong?

    Silverback from the Atari Network and Funkmaster V (Vinnie Vineyard) interview a "big wig" from the Atari Jaguar era. He was a senior producer (project manager) on many original games for the Jaguar, Lynx, and even the 5200 and 7800 as well. There's a lot of insightful information about the waning Atari years in this interview, with info about what they did both right and wrong. Jon and I are going to talk to him again b/c he wants to talk more about Atari Jaguar misconceptions.

    Some of the games he lead while he worked for Atari were:
    Dirty Larry, Gordo 106, Dino Dudes, Cybermorph, Iron Solider 1 and 2, Alien vs Predator, iWar, Kasumi Ninja, Tempest 2000 and more!

    Lookie! A  snazzy Donkey Kong XM/ PK Review at Atari 7800 Forever's Youtube page!
    What it first was, why it was, why it wasn't, and what it is now. #atari #donkeykong #DK

      Enjoyed the review! 🙂 XM/PK is really a great conversion. Darryl1970 noticed one or two things not arcade accurate, but I'd never have known if he hadn't told me. Tep did a phenomenal job with the graphics and POKEY sound. 😄

      I actually forgot I had a copy, until I was poking around my 7800 stuff after your review. 😛

      That's crazy that u forgot you had one. But sadly, Im getting to the point where Im getting damn forgetful about all the crap I own now. 

      What was not quite arcade accurate if you remember?

       

    3. Jinroh

      Jinroh

      I honestly can't remember. I'll have to ask Darryl and see what he said. It was a pretty obscure detail though, I'm pretty sure.

    The recent Atari comeback was partially and cleverly fueled by this little title: a mini game tour de force with light RPG elements and boss battles. #atari #atarivcs #minigames

      This review is spot-on. Looks like a fun time, but hard to compete with Splatoon, etc. Atari to me is about 2-D gaming and I would love a "Food Fight: RECHARGED" if they released one. The characters and gameplay seem cute, and they seem invested in the World of Atari. Worst aspect in my opinion is Atari's continuing down the path of turning Bentley Bear into a nasty grump with a chip on his shoulder - seems totally out of character and doesn't work at all for a mascot :crystal_castles: Where's "Crystal Castles: RECHARGED"? Enjoyed your review @Funkmaster V, hope you have a wonderful Christmas and an awesome New Year.
