This month we'll be playing Beef Drop, nominated by TrekMD for the 7800. Beef Drop is a classic homebrew by developer Ken Siders and released nearly 20 years ago. Beef Drop is a terrific translation of Burgertime and plays well on the 7800. ROM and Instructions will have to be sourced online. Enjoy!

Marco1019 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Thank you once again for kind words, @Justin! Also, congratulations to all of the participants! I don't have MAME installed on my MacBook. However, I am proposing an alternative method for playing the arcade version of Pengo via retrogames.cc. (There are several versions, though; I'm sure the bootleg version would be excluded.)
