But GATO is interesting. It's a shame the 7800 version got canned. It would have been neat to see what it looked like. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 It looked great compared to the XE version. There's some screenshots on my site: https://www.ataricompendium.com/game_library/easter_eggs/7800/78gato.html Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted December 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Looked impressive! There are many things I would have loved to see the 7800 try to do. I really wish Konami would have tried to make a few of their games for it. They figured out ways around Nintendo’s licensing rules they could have had another company make their games for the 7800.
