nosweargamer Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Most 7800 games don't have an ending, but Fatal Run, a late release, does and it's kinda impressive: The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Truly, that's a more involved ending than either Rad Racer (NES) or OutRun (SMS) had :outrun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerman Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 That is cool, but now you ruined it for me! Why did I have to play that movie? I was just playing Fatal Run on my DC 7800 emulator tonight. I made it to about the 6-7 city and wrote down the password to continue tomorrow. I will see that ending. Actually, I also played some Xevious, Xenophobe, Commando and Motor Psycho tonight too. But they all don't play as well as on the real hardware. I hope I can get a real 7800 and these games again soon. But like most vintage consoles, they are too expensive for me right now...so I have to live with emulation.

fergojisan Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Dang dude, you made it through all 32 levels? That is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Dang dude, you made it through all 32 levels? That is impressive. More like I put in the password for the final 4 levels and made it through those There are some who say that doing it that way makes it too difficult since you won't have any upgrades, but I was able to pull it off twice, so it's not that hard. All the levels look/feel mostly the same after a while and I wasn't in the mood to go through all 32.

fergojisan Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Ah, I see. Still, to me it's hard sometimes going in towards the end of a game without playing all the way through, the momentum is off. So kudos to you for doing that too! (I just read the manual last night, once I saw you were already done editing I decided to play some 2600 games instead. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerman Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I definitely know that momentum feeling...I just can't play Tempest 2000 unless I start from the beginning, if I try to start at a higher saved level, the onslaught is too much for me because I'm not yet "in the zone." With Fatal Run, I thought the passwords were to simplistic and since they were actual "words" that I might lose my upgrades, now I know for sure. At leas I'll only lose a 6-cylinder engine, protective glass and radial tires...not too bad. I will have to try and finish or die tonight, since I'm close to a third of the way through, maybe it's not too far to start out fresh, yet far enough along to actually finish.

LeeJ07 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 The 2600 version of Fatal Run, which was a PAL only release, likewise has the same narrative ending. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
