Sabertooth

One of the things I appreciate about the game is that you can access up to your last unlocked level to figure out problem points before making your next high score run. Level 5 was really giving me a hard time at first. Now it's Level 7.

4527. A slight improvement. I am still hung up on Level 7.
I find the graphics to be a bit less garish with the background off and the CRT filters on.

Also, ICYMI, the Series V Giveaway announcement posted earlier today. Since this is a 12 month challenge, I wanted to do something special.
 

Yesterday's Atari Podcast was with the dev and producer for NeoSprint. Interesting the dev talked about what a challenge it was to get the Switch port  locked in at 30 FPS.

Message
Welcome to our 26th Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! For this challenge, we're celebrating the release of the ATARI 400 MINI by playing the Atari 8-bit game YOOMP!   Play on the VCS via Atari 50, on real Atari 8-bit hardware, on the 400 MINI, or using your A8 emulator of choice!
Yoomp! is the winner of the 2007 ABBUC software competition. Like a combination of Trailblazer and an often-seen demoscene effect, you fall down a tube, landing on each square progressively in a rhythmic manner. Landing on certain tiles will have certain effects, such as making the screen quake, decreasing the brightness or forcing you to jump. Navigating the tube itself is a matter of planning ahead and compensating for your limited movement capabilities. This game is freeware and can be downloaded on the Yoomp website.
Start at LEVEL ONE and take the game as far as you can for the high score!

811. This is an awesome game. Playing on VCS Atari 50
 

Yeah, the Lynx version beats this one but I still find it a cool version to play. 

I like the 7800 version, but haven’t played it, since I purchased the Lynx version. 

Casual gameplay only of Xenophobe (7800) on the 2600+. I was spoiled by the Lynx port, so this never got a ton of play. Lack of character choice and clunky controls make this somewhat hard to recommend. But it does fill a gap in the 7800 library.
 

Hopefully the update something that make spike to get more purchases.

NeoSprint just got another update today. Does anyone know what it was for?

Ok: 3183
 
 

Oh, I agree!  This is definitely cool!
