Atari 7800 Forever

[Funkmaster V 50]

Oops- the name of the new project is "Gunkan Assault" not "Gunkan Blast"------------------ SO SORRY

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 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.

If I am honest THIS for the price interests me much more than the AtariVCS 😏 Looking forward to the video.

I agree.  If it works without having to fiddle with controls and settings, I'm in.

You know, that looks really awesome.  I'm with RickR, though.  If it is just plug-and-play, I'm in.

The Ultimate Look at the Atari Ultimate Fight Stick w/ Trackball
Funkmaster V from www.Atari7800Forever.com goes funk deep into the Atari Dual Fight Stick with Trackball (Trac Ball) with an Atari 7800 slant. This in depth video breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly with the interesting DIY emulator from Micro Center in a massive 90 minute video.

Tonight, Atari 7800 Forever takes a look at the unfinished Tetris clone: Blocdrop! http://www.atari7800forever.com/blocdrop.html

Asteroids Deluxe not only sounds like it comes with all the veggies, cheese and possibly bacon, its probably the best game in the space rock family.

Great game! 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.

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... I'll offer my opinion here: http://www.atari7800forever.com/toptenplatformlevels.html

Thrilled to see Popeye finally on the Atari 7800! darryl1970 is doing an incredible job. Mario Bros. Phase 8 is my personal all-time favorite platform level on the Atari 7800

Awesome! I almost didn't include it but it is a fun little break in that weird game. 

and yes, Popeye is unbelievable for his first go round.
