Sabertooth Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 I'm a big fan of Bob DeCrescenzo's work on the 7800 and I couldn't wait to get his newest homebrews: Astros Blaster and K.C. Munchkin! K.C. Munchkin! is a port of the (in)famous Odyssey 2 game. It has updated sprites and plays exactly like the O2 classic. It's really fun playing this on an Atari machine. Atari shouldn't have sued Magnavox, they should have hired them to program Pac-Man. Astro Blaster is an arcade perfect port of the classic Gremlin/Sega space shooter. If you like Activison's Megamania, you'll love this version of the game that inspired it. Both games are available at the Atari Age store. http://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_list&c=new Check them out!
MaximumRD Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Odyssey 2 ports especially if enhanced seems like a great idea!

Justin Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 I'm a HUGE fan of Bob's work too! As always, he did an incredible job with these. He recently joined the forums, I'm excited to see what he'll come up with next. He also lives in the same town as I do, I'd love to catch up with him sometime. Odyssey 2 ports especially if enhanced seems like a great idea! I agree entirely. There are a few Odyssey 2 games that really shined, I'm glad to see Bob's awesome version of KC Munchkin. He's obviously talented, and has used the strengths of the 7800 to port games like Space Invaders and Moon Cresta in ways that are just absolutely arcade-perfect.
Sabertooth Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Posted January 16, 2015 Odyssey 2 ports especially if enhanced seems like a great idea! I agree and I love the updated sprites in this version of K.C.. It would be great to see an enhanced take on Attack of the Timelord!
RickR Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 I agree and I love the updated sprites in this version of K.C.. It would be great to see an enhanced take on Attack of the Timelord! YES! Including voice. Shut up and take my money.
Yo-Yo Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Odyssey 2 games ported to the 7800 in beautiful pixel-perfect perfection? That is so rad. It's nice to see the Odyssey 2 get a little love.
