Sabertooth's Casual Play Series

[Sabertooth]

Casual gameplay of Jr. Pac-Man for the 7800. This fantastic homebrew by Bob DeCrescenzo (AKA Pac-Man Plus) faithfully recreates the 1983 GCC developed arcade game. I love this version. It's even better than the official 2600 port.

Played with a Trooper because the CX-40+ wasn't up to the task. I really want a gated 4-way stick for this and the other Pac games.

Jr. Pac-Man is a superb game on the 7800 and the toughest Pac-Man game there is!

Casual gameplay of Food Fight for the Atari 7800 on the 2600+. This GCC developed arcade port is among the best of the 7800's launch line-up. Played with the new CX78+ gamepad.

I'll add that this reissue is the biggest overall improvement from the original release.

It's been a terribly busy month, but I've finally been able to play some 2600+!   I recently received Carrot Kingdom from @Jinroh and thought it would be fun to do a play through.  Here's the full game on Easy.  Instadeath on the lava level is keeping me from the Carrot King on Hard.  😉 

Played on a 2600+ running experimental firmware 1.1x-r6, using a CX78+ gamepad.

Awesome game, the person who made this one is probably really cool. 😛

 

Seriously though, great playthrough @Sabertooth. I wonder if the firmware setting needed to be put to phosphorous mode to fix not capturing the two colour flicker correctly. Just glad it works on the 2600+ I was wondering about that, though I figured it should since it's just a simple F4 bankswitching cart. 😄

I decided to expand the Casual Play series to other platforms.  Here's XENOWINGS on the Jaguar!

Great idea.  I really wanted to see this game.  Thanks.

It's a great game @RickR! I'm resisting the use of continues. I want to clear all 25 levels on one credit .
