Atari 7800 Forever

A long lost interview between my site's old collaborator John K Harvey and Ninja Golf/ Klax PIMP David Dentt. A great little little interview about the game programmer that signs his autographs in Mothr funkin' GOLD.

Good Knight and Good Luck

Oh the Puns...

A programmer from Chile has popped onto the Atari 7800 scene with a trilogy of upcoming Knight Games... well... 2 games about Knights and one about a very special roach. 2 out of 3 ain't bad, is it? Whatever the case, click the link and get hip on Vlad Zuniga's new platform adventure/ one player board game RPG/ and his upcoming SHUMP for the Prosystem.

Dragon's Cache is a "Stuff is Falling" puzzle game homebrew by Revontuli... which is the first of three different Dragon themed games for the Atari 7800 he is conjuring up. This guy is nuts, but his games are on point.

Muddyfunster Invades the Atari 7800 Programming Scene!

Ive been making our second horror/comedy movie this last month in the Smoky Mountain Chronicles series, and this weekend I have off, so I wanted to do a bunch of Atari 7800 articles that I have back logged for www.Atari7800Forever.com before I get busy for the next month while we finish it.

 

I already posted about this featurette about Muddyfunsters games, but its worth a second mention. Plus there's a graphic from one of his games with my name on it, so I wanted to brag:

I reviewed Space Duel after playing the arcade version and the 7800 version for an hour on break this week

I look into getting into the backstory about that mysterious Atari Championship title belt I was gifted last month. I was given a wrestling belt years ago, and it ended up being very valuable. Can lightning strike twice?

Thanks for giving a crap, 

Love,

You would be pretty impressed with Muddy's latest build of E.X.O. I might be able to at least grab a screen cap for the level room with your name on it and show you what it actually looks like? I don't think that would be an issue seeing as you have the tile set layout graphic already for it.

DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I'm off shooting goofy horror/comedies this weekend (except for Sunday), so I decided to catch up on the Atari 7800 Forever workload with some corrections and re-reviews from the old site. I hope you enjoy! When I get all of the original 57 (or 59) written I will start doing video reviews of all of these games.

Putt 18 Miniature Golf: 

"I don't know if it succeeds as a putt putt video game, but it did make me laugh out loud several times watching the sh!t on the screen go crazy."

New Review!

Alpha Race from Good Deal Games

This sequel to Omega Race finally adds a racing element to a game with "Race" in the title. Genius!

Super Pac Man is a super hero version of good ole Pac Man, but I find this Avenger more Hawkeye than Hulk. http://www.atari7800forever.com/superpacmanr.html

This weekend, the good guys at Atari 7800 Forever churned out 4 reviews of classic 7800 games for your azzes... We found a great one, a good one, and a couple of stinkers. Find out what we thought of Water Ski, Super Pac Man, Tank Command and Pac Man Collection on the Atari 7800 Mothership! www.atari7800forever.com

Mr. raz0red has cooked up an Atari 7800 emulator so easy to use, that I put it permanently on the front page of my website. Emulation is never perfect, but you can experience so many homebrews and works in progress by simply clicking a few mouse clicks. So fun. Try to beat my scores on the boards!

Marc Oberhäuser has a fun name to say and a really cool store on Etsy called AtariGameBoxes. It features the game boxes that he conjures up for homebrews, reproductions, limited releases and prototypes. He has dozens of Atari 7800 game boxes available at around $16-17 a pop (and other classic systems too). Funkmaster V ordered a handful and looks at them for the first time with you. #atarigameboxes #atari7800 #atari Check out the biggest Atari 7800 website on the planet: www.Atari7800Forever.com

I just ordered several boxes from him!  I need to double check as I think there are others that I need still.  😉

Hello FunkMaster. Thankyou for the review of Putt 18 Miniature Golf on the Atari 7800. This was our first game we did for the  7800 and working on doing some better games in the future. We are about to release Venture for the 7800. Tile Smashers is in later stages of development. 7800 has allows me to make games with graphics that are more colorful and more detailed than the Atari 8-bit/5200 version. 

I have seen your post up on that other Atari forum and a well received response. Many people seem to enjoy the game and having a lot of fun. The layout was kept simple and made game play easy. Some posts disappointing and inaccurate about all my games being substandard for the 7800. To date, only Putt 18 for the 7800 has been released and no one other than our own beta testers have been able to play them yet. Also stated I was banned for poor quality labels and manual was not true. Statements that I using different accounts to help promote my games are also not presently true. 

I am working on games like Animal Keeper, Laser Blast X, and Novawolf for the 7800. I am developing some upgrades to make these games look and play great and look forward to completing them. I wish to thank the Atari Community for their support for our games.

Keep 'em coming babe

No problem. We hope to get Atari 7800 Venture out soon, and Tile Smashers out early next year. I have been doing work on several more Atari 7800 games when I can. I am not trying to get too far ahead of Video 61 and our team as we are all busy with stuff. I took some time out in the last two days to fix up an Atari 8-bit game and hoping to release it soon. We can look forward to development of more 7800 and with everyone's support, I am proud to be making more.

I know I had been a subject of something negative on your "Homebrew Programmer Biographies" a few weeks ago. I am not going to dwell into it at this time because I am not sure what is going on.  I apologize if things did get mess up on your thread.  You may post my biographical information here. I am in Buffalo, New York USA. Lived in the area all my life. I took Data Processing at the local vocational school and then Computer Informations Systems at Erie Community College. I had been working with Atari computers since age 15, learned Basic and Assembly. I also do some video game work on the Windows PC.

An April Fool's Joke turned into a graphical hack of Centipede... but is it really Millipede? Check it out har

Back in the double aughts, the 7800 community was happy to become foster parents to the wayfaring, troubled 2600 cart "Save Mary". This inspired many artist renditions, scribblings, and etchings of labels, some of which exist on the internet still to this day. Tonight, I compiled the surviving images in one article and I poke fun at most of them:

Rikki & Vikki did a lot to prove that the Atari 7800 was capable of rendering incredible graphics and sound with amazing depth and gameplay, however it couldn't escape one of the system's issues altogether. Here's how to fix the Rikki & Vikki game breaking glitch. http://www.atari7800forever.com/rikkivikkifix.html #rikkivikki #atari7800 #rikkiandvikki

Toki is one of the missing prototypes in the Atari 7800 library... but it's not really missing. Here's where it is, and why you can't play it.
