The 5 Best & Worst Atari 7800 Games As Voted On By 7800 Users

[nosweargamer]

For my final episode of The Atari 7800 Game By Game Podcast, I asked for people to vote for their top 5 and bottom 5 official Atari 7800 games. I got more votes than expected and put the results in the two videos below.
As far as I know, this is the first time such lists have been created using several users input.

Thanks to everyone who voted!!!

Some notes:
-Votes were weighted when voters listed the games in order of preference.
-The videos show the games in order with honorable mentions, making these more like top ten lists. The "Best" video has an extra honorable since Xevious & Asteroids were tied.
-The #1 Best & Worst game won by a large margin.
-Impossible Mission got a lot of "Worst" votes due to the impossible bug in the US version.
-Sport Games and Flight Simulators really suffered in the votes. The two sports games that got the most "Best" votes included Ninja Golf (Ranked #12) and One on One Basketball (Ranked #19). The only flight simulator to get "Best" votes was Ace of Aces (Ranked #28)
-Games that got both "Best" & "Worst" votes: Ace of Aces, Double Dragon, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Impossible Mission, Kung Fu Master, Midnight Mutants, Motor Psycho, One on One Basketball and Xenophobe

Nice video. I like my 7800 as its got some great arcade ports plus Ive recently converted it to composite video.

Its just a shame the machine was doomed to failure because of Atari's woes in the mid 80s. It does make you wonder what would of happened if it beat the NES to market properly. Also the lack of an internal Pokey chip was a shocking omission when you hear the wonderful tunes coming out of the pokey chip and audio capabilities from rivals at the time like the C64, NES and AY chip based machines.

Had the 7800 launched in 1984 as originally planned with all the expansions and enhancements that had been planned, I think history would have taken a different turn.  After hearing the story of the machine and what had been originally planned for it at PRGE this year, that is a what-if scenario that I would have loved to see become a reality.  Maybe it is in some other alternate universe.
