Besides doing the super fun 7800 homebrew reviews I have been trying to knock out the original library's reviews, too. I've updated several from the old site that Crossbow and I did 15 or so years ago.
Did you know that HAT TRICK features a racist song? Read all about it, I just finished reviewing it. Also reviews for Food Fight, Galaga, Double Dragon, Donkey Kong, Jr. have been completed with minimal typos. Hoo-Ha

My computer has crapped out for almost a month, but tonight I got it working, and finished a review WITH NO TYPOS. Scramble is one of my favorite Pac Man Plus homebrews and one of the very best shooters on the system.
I have also recently finished reviews for Crazy Brix, Super Circus Atari Age, Astro Fighter and Serpentine. Check them out!

For me the attraction in Combat 1990 is that it's a one-player game. The reason I didn't like Combat on the 2600 is that it requires two players: given that when we got the 2600 in 1982 my brother was (and, actually, still is, now that I think of it!) ten years older than me, I was kinda-sorta an only child for all practical purposes. Yeah, I had friends, but they didn't always want to play Combat!
That's a very good point. I'll add that to the review

Unless you count Impossible Mission, then Fight Night. The computer player has special moves, while the human player does not.
Oh, but the player has the most powerful punch in the game!!!

After several heated debates, here is the final list we came up with. I would love to hear people's opinions on the matter.
Which Atari 7800 Game IS the Toughest to Beat?

I reviewed one of my childhood favorites tonight. This year has sucked, but at least I broke the world record on this game in 2020: Like God and Devil, its known by many names, but tonight I'm calling it: Tower Toppler.

From www.Atari700Forever.com There were 57 official NTSC Atari 7800 releases, and if you the add 2 PAL-only games, the number of official releases for the Prosystem worldwide hit an unimpressive 59 during a six year run. Thanks to homebrews, hacks, prototype discoveries, and other oddities, the number of playable Atari 7800 games has grown by leaps and bounds. Funkmaster V currently owns 124 different titles (and that's after a house fire took down several rare games and boxes he hasn't replaced) and he wants to spend this cold snowy day showing you his collection from the Mothership. #atari7800 #atari #retrogaming

I think your list and retorts are spot on. But I'd have left off Ninja-Golf and added "Impossible Mission". There is no retort for a game that cannot be finished (other than the title of the game specifically says it's IMPOSSIBLE).
Oh, and the one thing that really bothers me about Planet Smashers is how you are flying a PLANE in SPACE! Could we have gotten a better ship design? Otherwise, I think that's a great game.
In the 7800 community, most of us are very fond of Ninja Golf. But in other retro game communities, people dog it sometimes for the reasons I provided.
Impossible Mission is great. I beat it on the Wii, in fact. And beating Possible Mission on the 7800 is one of the best gaming moments of my life. LOL. That was cathartic."Plane" Smashers could be vastly improved with a small graphical hack and fixed audio. The audio is atrocious... and a plane in space is stupid. Atari dorked up their protagonists in almost every single game: Adventure, Centipede, Midnight Mutants, Motorpsycho, Fatal Run, Mean 18, Super Skateboardin', Scrapyard Dog, Planet Smashers, etc etc etc.

In Defense of 9 Oft-Berated Atari 7800 Games... Like every other subject, people's opinions widely vary on video games. But in terms of the 7800 library, there's a semblance of solidarity. The enthusiasts normally agree on what's the cream of the crop titles and what's the worst of the worst. But there exists a handful of games that sometimes see uncanny vitriol... so pointed, so bombastic... that it borders on shameful mendacity. I feel like these nine games get an unfair bad rap. Some of them are terrific, and some are just OK, but all are worth a second look.

Tell me what you thank, ya'll? Are these 9 worthy of love?

Hi @Funkmaster V and welcome to the forums from a fellow 7800 fan!
I have a couple suggestions that might help:
1) When creating a thread, include content and not just links that redirect to your site. For instance, go ahead post your whole review here and include a link to where you originally posted it. Just saying "Go check out my new review at my site" is something better suited for status updates.
2) I checked out your review on your site, but when I did, I got stuck on that page and found no way to explore more of your site. I'm guessing you just forgot to add a Home link/button.
Hope this helps and feel free to introduce yourself here:
https://forums.atari.io/forum/59-introduce-yourself/
This is a super friendly site and I think you'll get a warm welcome there!
I always use back buttons, but you are right. I'll add a link to get back to the root page.

Over on Atari 7800 Forever... we had ourselves a time kicking it with this homebrew and making fun of its terrible name.
1 ) T:ME Salvo Review: www.atari7800forever.com/tsr.html
What did we think of Mike Saarna's time traveling baby boy?
2) T:ME Salvo Cheats: Gameplay tips and how to play as Santa Clause!: www.atari7800forever.com/tsc.html

I never knew this little slice of Atari existed, so allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Cousin Vinnie aka Funkmaster V, and I have been spending the month resurrecting my old site (Cousin Vinnie's Atari 7800 Panoramic Froo Froo) under the new moniker: atari 7800 forever.
So far we have most old news articles and cheats and about half of the reviews that we had up on the old site. Plus several videos, Funk vs. Atari Challenges plus some new reviews, and articles like "All Final Bosses Ranked".
Check it out... its gonna be a nice online resource.

Fail Safe is one of my favorite thinking man's games on the Atari 7800, and I finally got to review the damned thing after all these years.
And I look at a project that two pals tag teamed up on, a thing they call "Gunkan Blast". The goal of the project? To see how much the Atari 7800 can graphically handle at once. Checkout the article on the front page to see what's up.
