Funkmaster V 73 Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) Wheeze about to get nasty over at Atari 7800 Forever, cause we are diving head first into the guts of Hearty Manslapper. HMS is an odd one from the Atari 7800's resident homebrew B movie film director: Frankodragon... try mixing 1 part Martin Short's "Inner Space", 1 part independent college film project, 1 part Salvador Dahli painting, 1 part internet argument and 5 parts bag full of guts. If you were one of the snow flakes that got all offended at my Hat Trick review, holy Toledo... stay far away from this one. (It contains the word sphincter) The review lives here: www.Atari7800Forever.com/heartymanslapperr.html Edited January 26 by Funkmaster V Justin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Funkmaster V 73 Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 The Atari 7800 has lived a long azz time without a proper multicart, and now... in 2020-2021... there are two that have popped up on the scene and both look very compelling. One is the Concerto cart, but the one we will get into today is the Dragonfly.http://www.atari7800forever.com/dragonflysd.html RickR, Justin and TrekMD 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They did a great job with the label too, I love when home-brews feel like they could've been real releases back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Funkmaster V 73 Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 Hobby programmers and their after market creations have vastly improved the Platform scene in the Atari 7800 universe in recent years. Now that there's a good sample size, you may ask, what are the top 10 levels of the 7800's platform games? Even if you didn't ask...

Funkmaster V 73 Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 To the uninitiated, Baby Pac Man sounds like another derivative Maze Game that most people wouldn't want or need. But once you crack it open, you'll find a compelling hybrid maze/ pinball game where one has to master both to progress far. On a system that is king for maze games, this one may be the ultimate ruler of them all.

Funkmaster V 73 Posted March 3 Author Report Share Posted March 3 Klax is one weird "stuff is falling" puzzle game with one of the strangest (lamest) tag lines in history: It's is the nineties, and there is time for KLAX." But this cerebral puzzle game was a completed, unreleased prototype that is pretty darn faithful to the arcade machine its based on.

Could we have gotten a better ship design? Otherwise, I think that's a great game. I feel that Planet Smashers is grossly underated and it's gameplay unfairly branded as generic. The warp system where you have to collect the 3 colored gems in a correct order that constantly changes makes it's gameplay unique and addictive for me. It keeps me coming back for just one more try. As for how you fly a plane in space, the Space Shuttle looks a lot like a plane in space to me. Justin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funkmaster V 73 Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 I've heard a lot of jabrones, tricks, pimps, skeezers, furries, bad guys, gnomes and dorks say that Rikki & Vikki was one of the most impressive games ever made for the Atari 7800. As a guy that has reviewed 100+ games for the 7800, I'm not easily impressed. Let's see what the Funk thought on his weekend excursion to Misery Land. https://www.atari7800forever.com/rikkiandvikkir.html Justin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FOR ONE OR TWO PLAYERS (player two not included) http://www.atari7800forever.com/iwr.html I'm a big commando fan myself. I own both games but I just can't get anywhere in Ikari Warriors. Heck every time I try and play the game these days, as soon as that first tank shows up on the screen, there is a pile of like 5 enemy soldiers to the right of it and the first thing that happens, is one of them tosses a grenade t the tank before I'm even halfway up the screen. Every....single... time. Commando on the other hand I can get quite far in and it is really close to the arcade.

Funkmaster V 73 Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 I dig Commando better, but to do well in Ikari Warriors I just blow up the tanks myself. Many times it kills a bunch of the enemies. Tanks can get you into trouble. Justin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Funkmaster V 73 Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 Today we review ole Bobby D's take on Cinematronics ancient vector game "RIP OFF" WHAT IS HAPPENING OVA HERE? Your wife makes a friggin sweet Nacho Del Grande platter. Her Nachos are so tasty in fact, that you pridefully lay them out for your neighbors to see. Foolish boy. You live in a crappy part of town, but who knew your neighbors were pirates who have a sh*t ton of tanks at their disposal? Text your cooky best friend who lives next door, tell him to grab his tank... because those bastards are coming for your Super Bowl snacks and they hate hatred in their eyes and growling in their guts. https://www.atari7800forever.com/ripoffr.html Justin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
