    Big n funky Fridays tonight! 7:30 PM Eastern-

    The 7800 Pro Gamer and Funkmaster V look into their crystal funk bawls to guess, forecast and wish for what is in store for Atari's 2024. And if it ryhmes, its true. We talk about Delta Space Arena, Plutos, Madness Beverage, Harpy's Curse and the big Food Fight Culinary Combat tournament we are having in 2 weeks.  #atari #atarivcs #atarivcs

      I was in the office still - you guys go on early for me (PST). I'll have to listen to it tomorrow.

    People have asked me to review Moon Cresta at www.Atari7800Forever.com for years, and tonight was the night history finally happened. After playing the arcade version of Moon Cresta for a bit... it was time, once again, to give the Prosystem one a whirl. I have always hated this game. But over time... did my initial disgust recede? Click the lank to find out, Jeeves.

    Have you ever wondered what a ranked list of Atari 7800 space ships based on looks alone would look like? If so, you are probably certifiably crazy... but we could probably be friends. Regardless, click the link! Its time for a SPACESHIP FASHION SHOW!

    New Review!
    Alpha Race from Good Deal Games
    This sequel to Omega Race finally adds a racing element to a game with "Race" in the title. Genius!

    Asteroids Deluxe not only sounds like it comes with all the veggies, cheese and possibly bacon, its probably the best game in the space rock family.

    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.

      Excellent write-up of the game @Funkmaster V! 

      It's a shame that the sell through of the first 550 was so slow. I would love to see more from titles from PenguiNet on the 7800. Their game Zaku for Lynx is also top notch!

      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.

    Resurrecting a review with the WAY BACK MACHINE from the old site, and polishing it up with all of this lovely 2021 "wokeness" and bitchiness, we dive into the age old question... do you prefer Commando (shirts) or Ikari Warriors (skins) in this vertical scrolling, testosterone slurping, explosion inducing review of IK. FOR ONE OR TWO PLAYERS (player two not included)

    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

    Dragon's Cache is a "Stuff is Falling" puzzle game homebrew by Revontuli... which is the first of three different Dragon themed games for the Atari 7800 he is conjuring up. This guy is nuts, but his games are on point.

    Hobby programmers and their after market creations have vastly improved the Platform scene in the Atari 7800 universe in recent years. Now that there's a good sample size, you may ask, what are the top 10 levels of the 7800's platform games? Even if you didn't ask... I'll offer my opinion here: http://www.atari7800forever.com/toptenplatformlevels.html

      Mario Bros. Phase 8 is definitely an all-time favorite for me :nintendo_mario_coin::nintendo_mario_coin::nintendo_mario_coin:

    Mr. raz0red has cooked up an Atari 7800 emulator so easy to use, that I put it permanently on the front page of my website. Emulation is never perfect, but you can experience so many homebrews and works in progress by simply clicking a few mouse clicks. So fun. Try to beat my scores on the boards!

    Super Pac Man is a super hero version of good ole Pac Man, but I find this Avenger more Hawkeye than Hulk. http://www.atari7800forever.com/superpacmanr.html

    The Atari 7800 has lived a long azz time without a proper multicart, and now... in 2020-2021... there are two that have popped up on the scene and both look very compelling. One is the Concerto cart, but the one we will get into today is the Dragonfly.

    This weekend, the good guys at Atari 7800 Forever churned out 4 reviews of classic 7800 games for your azzes... We found a great one, a good one, and a couple of stinkers. Find out what we thought of Water Ski, Super Pac Man, Tank Command and Pac Man Collection on the Atari 7800 Mothership! www.atari7800forever.com

      Very cool!!

    Marc Oberhäuser has a fun name to say and a really cool store on Etsy called AtariGameBoxes. It features the game boxes that he conjures up for homebrews, reproductions, limited releases and prototypes. He has dozens of Atari 7800 game boxes available at around $16-17 a pop (and other classic systems too). Funkmaster V ordered a handful and looks at them for the first time with you. #atarigameboxes #atari7800 #atari Check out the biggest Atari 7800 website on the planet: www.Atari7800Forever.com

      I didn't know that Marc had an Etsy store. I ordered 2600 game boxes from him through AtariAge forum before -- top notch quality.

    A long lost interview between my site's old collaborator John K Harvey and Ninja Golf/ Klax PIMP David Dentt. A great little little interview about the game programmer that signs his autographs in Mothr funkin' GOLD.

    A wee bit after Halloween, but a review of the Ms. Pac Man hack "Pac-Jason" nonetheless.

    Although its not Atari 7800 related, I have been making videos about my thoughts on the Atari 50th Anniversary Celebration and it's content. 

    Also, check out www.Atari7800Forever.com for reviews on Monster! Outpost 26, Apple Snaffle, Worm! Wasp! with Baby Pac Man (UKI) and Animal Keeper reviews coming very soon!

    As of the filming of this review, Vinnie Vineyard (aka Funkmaster V) was THE NUMBER ONE GEEZER on the Atari VCS Berzerk Recharged leaderboards, making this review the most important and credible of all reviews that have ever been scribed in the history of this country and quite possible the world. This former Stern Electronics maze shooter has been polished up by Atari and Sneakybox... but did they scrub it up, too much??? Its available on Xbox, PS4/ PS5/ Steam and the Atari VCS  TODAY FOR CHEAP #atarivcs  #atari #berzerk #retrogaming #reviews

    Atari 50th Anniversary Collection Game List

    I spent some time going through that pretty pimp hype video pinpointing all of the games that will be included in this collection so far, and it looks like you can ID 40-41... there's a computer game I can't identify in one clip.

    This isn't your typical nostalgic Atari cash grab... looks worth it so far. 

     

    Besides Basketbrawl, the 7800 selection looks pretty boring. I'm also surprised that no one ever contacts our hobby programmers for your awesome Homebrews. Those would be so sweet to include in these things.

    PS: Im uploading three new reviews this week: Silverback tackles Sentinel, Meltdown, and Wizard's Dungeon
