      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?

  2. We had a great Atari Age Day, playing all 4 of the funktastic 7800 games that was shipped on Saturday to the Mothership. We squeezed out a Knight Guy review and updated Dragon's Descent after playing it on cart for the first time. See what we thought--- more reviews from Funkmaster V, Silverback, and Crossbow coming soon!!!

  3. I've been horsing around and mostly enjoying Micro Center's Atari Ultimate Dual Fight Stick with Trac Ball for a year and a half, and have had an Atari Spinner installed for a year (it was very easy to do). After all that time, I have discovered (for myself at least) which 10 games utilize the machine the best with the emulators I currently have. This is my top ten list- They are not the best games of all time, but the best on this particular hardware... that I have discovered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UwkSg8Rkqc

  4. Ever since I heard that Popeye was almost the "Jumpman" in what turned out to be Donkey Kong, I always had a little hot thought... What if...

      Yup. I also love that graphic that I found that put the Popeye people on the cab instead of the Nintendo characters in the DK poses. Bluto looks like DK quite a bit, too.

  5. I've heard a lot of jabrones, tricks, pimps, skeezers, furries, bad guys, gnomes and dorks say that Rikki & Vikki was one of the most impressive games ever made for the Atari 7800.

     

    As a guy that has reviewed 100+ games for the 7800, I'm not easily impressed. Let's see what the Funk thought on his weekend excursion to Misery Land.

      I dont know how good a run of 7800 games 550 sales really is. Is that high or low? That's about $33,000... but still probably not worth it after labor, parts and taxes. 

      I hate it that no one can pick up a copy and the music is so huge and on a funky chip that emulation is not possible. You can buy it on steam, however, at a fraction of the cost.

      Thanks for the compliment. Whoever these guys are- they make great games. I hope they come back.
