7800 Pro Gamer

Casual gameplay only of Rampage (1989) for the Atari 7800.  Published by Activision, this port of Bally-Midway's arcade monster bash puts you in control of the fearsome George, Lizzie, or Ralph as you destroy city after city.  It's good mindless fun and the arcade game was a childhood favorite. 
My best friend had this on the SMS, and that is a far superior version.  Still, the 7800 version has it's own cartoonish charm.   
Thanks to the future Mrs. Sabertooth, who graciously assisted me in capturing this footage. 
Played with a pair of CX-78 gamepads.
 

Been a couple months so here is a quick and silly video short that a certain NES item inspired me to do 😆
 

Been a minute but today I awoke to a nice incentive to upload a new video! Fresh off the presses a fun and quick video of the retro gaming goodness inside. 
I awoke today to a very nice surprise, a package from a friend, fellow Canadian and Youtuber MN12BIRD aka JAKE 😎

I wonder if this fixes the double dragon ladder glitch of doom...

In any event, I need to pull the 2600+ out of the box  to update it. I've honestly not needed it since I did the cartridge port replacement on it and stopped testing with the last batch of FW updates they were sending me to test.
My 7800 just...'works' you know? LOL!
 

Wow those are fantastic condition!  I know it's just sesame Street games and kids stuff... But I'm jealous!
Off top but can I say I love your set up and especially that rug!  I need it!

I have those too!  Love the box designs.  The games are good for what they are meant to be.  Alpha Beam has really nice graphics.  @7800 Pro Gamer, those look to be in nice condition. 

Oh wow looks like I need quite a few more of those CCW games.  I found this at a local retro gaming store and plan on doing a review featuring all of it. 

Looks like I'll have to go back on the hunt!

I'm going to continue to hold out for the one from Stone Age Gamer since Rikki and Vikki comes preloaded.

I saw you posting about your CCW pickups. I love those games and would like to hear your take on them. Here’s a picture of my collection.

Yeah the 2600 plus is quickly becoming my go to for 7800 and homebrew.  Seeing XM enhanced on my copy of Pac man collection was incredible!  Something I never thought I'd see the title screen of that game read.  Now if only they could get roof pooper and the Video61 games working on it....

I forgot to mention this here but for those of you that may own a DKXM cart, I can confirm that it works with the Atari 2600+ console.

Yes, I can confirm this too. I can finally play my XM enhanced cart I got all of those years ago. Fantastic!

I’m digging the 2600+. It lets me play PAL & NTSC carts and supports POKEY, HOKEY, XM and YM2151 (Pac-Man 40th Anniversary). Not too shabby.🙂

Good news!

Hello everybody!  It's been a while but I'm back here at my home forum, Atari IO, to give you all an update on the content, on the happenings of Atari Network, and about umm... other stuff I guess?  Nailed it!  Anyway, because I missed the last podcast I had to make a video about Atari Products in 2024 to give you all my most anticipated items of this year and my thoughts on them!  I talk about the newly announced 7800 stuff, the Gamestation Portable, The Atari 400 Mini and more!  Click below to see it!
 
I also give an update on the merch in that video.  I hope to have it available come middle to late March or early April at the latest.  Under advice from a good friend with knowledge on sales and law, I'm reworking the Atari Network logo not to use the Fuji, and I'm adjusting the 7800 Pro Gamer shirt.  Once I get the changes done and the last samples in I should be good to go but I'm waiting on some art to be finished too.  We'll have an Atari Network 12oz Mug, Tumbler, maybe a shot glass since people seem interested in that, as well as an Atari Network Podcast shirt and a 7800 Pro Gamer shirt!  I'm trying to keep prices low but sales projections are also low and I have to at least break even.  But the samples I got so far seems to be good quality even after a few washes!  So just an update on that for those who are interested but its still being worked on, don't worry!  I knew you wasn't!
Enough of that stuff, so tune in this Sunday for our weekly review!  This week I'm looking at Blueprint for the Atari 5200 Supersystem.  It was a viewer request and one I'll be honest, I wasn't too keen on.  Was I pleasantly surprised?  Did I hate it?  Well you'll have to make sure you're subscribed and have the bell clicked to know for sure!  Here's a preview of the thumbnail, which turned out really cool I think.  People don't seem to click on ones like this with older art throughout but I can't help it, I really like how it looks!  After that we'll have reviews coming for Phoenix on the 2600, a 7800 Homebrew Review Special featuring 3 games, and a special review I can't talk about yet.
 

 
Also, I'm adding a new show to the list of programming on the Atari Network.  That's what makes it a Network after all!  I'm glad to announce that Man vs 7800 is returning!  Now in livestream form!  So every other Saturday morning at 10:00AM (EST) the opposite week of the podcast you can watch the 7800 Pro Gamer attempt to beat a 7800 game live on stream!  Who will win, Man or 7800?  I'll have a poll on the channel to decide our first game, and choices will include Double Dragon (which will have to be played via AV on the 7800), Kung Fu Master, or Wizards Dungeon!  So join us for the return of Man Vs 7800, live on February 17th at 10am in the morning!  I think it makes more sense as a livestream and I always enjoyed doing those videos, so I hope people like it.
 

 
And finally, Friday Feb 9th at 7:30 PM Eastern (4:30 Pacific) we have the Atari Network Podcast brought to you by Atari7800Forever!  We will be talking about the VCS and why some games aren't coming out on that console, we'll discuss the products announced since the last podcast, discuss a little about the community and of course, we'll chew the fat with the chat!  So join myself and co-host FunkmasterV for the Atari Network podcast Feb 9th at 7:30P EST (4:30 Pacific) and then every other Friday from there on out.  Its a lot of fun!
 
Ok guys I think that's enough of an update for now.  Thanks for the support and thanks for making the community the best on the internet!  And don't forget to Stay Classy Atarians!

This looks like fun @Funkmaster V & @7800 Pro Gamer! We'll help get the word out on the ClubVCS social channels.
I'll participate if I can. I'm in L.A., so unless it's after 8 pm my time, my little one makes it hard to schedule these things.
