November means Thanksgiving celebrations, Holiday shopping, and lots of FOOD! What better way to celebrate than with a few rounds of Food Fight on Atari 7800!? Food Fight has always been one of my personal all-time favorites on the 7800, and was called "a Masterpiece" in Tim Lapetino's book Art Of Atari. Is Food Fight one of your favorites on the 7800 System? Let's get ready for a Thanksgiving feast and throw some food! I hope you guys enjoy this Squad Challenge! ROM and Instruction Manual are provided below. Good luck to everyone playing! PS!: I realize the m-ware issue is still affecting the site. It must be very annoying to get that message every time you visit our forums. I know it is for me. I'm still working on this and will get this resolved. I've been busy with taking a continuing education course for my job which has really cut into my free time to work on the site. The site will always be here and I will get the issue resolved soon! NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be a special winter challenge for the Atari Jaguar. Be there!

atarilbc 1,595 Report post Posted November 28 (edited) BTW - I'm playing this on the 16-in-1 Multicart put out in 2014 for the 30th Anniversary of the initial run of the 7800 ProSystem. It was a forums sign up that CPUWIZ did. They also did a second 8-in-1 and Bob Decrescenzo Collection (pictures). Anyone else here have these?

atarilbc 1,595 Report post Posted November 28 IN PROGRESS Paused at 10,017,500 Apparently, the last level is 125. I had a breakthrough in my play strategy so I'm going to see how far I can get. At this point, I'm not really dying so it's all stamina and not making stupid mistakes. I have no idea how many extra lives I have as it only displays the first 6. I'm hoping my 31 year old console and PSU hold out while paused for the holiday. 😂 Here's a hastily set up vid of me crossing 10M.

RadioPoultry 509 Report post Posted November 28 LOL! I got 10,005,100, but I decided to stop there when I saw the score didn't wrap at that point! I had about 20 lives. 1 1 RickR and atarilbc reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atarilbc 1,595 Report post Posted November 28 @RadioPoultry - I was hoping it would roll at 10M too! That's why I grabbed my phone to record. Lol! I'm happy to call it a draw if you are? @Justin, proposing a Level 125, 10M+ "winners tier." 😜 1 RickR reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atarilbc 1,595 Report post Posted November 29 Still in Progress - 20,010,600 I got home from TG and put another 10M on the odometer. I think I'm going to call it. It takes about 2.5 "levels" to tick up 100K and about half an hour to get 5M. Apparently the game goes to just over 100M. I do not have 8 more hours of this in me. 😂😂😂 2 1 RickR, RadioPoultry and Atari Creep reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hardly saw any later on in the game, but maybe they don't trigger if you finish a level too quickly.
