Combat 1990 is a homebrew title for the Atari 7800 that won second place at the 2005 Staticgamer.com homebrew contest. The game plays homage to the original Combat game that was packed with the Atari VCS between 1977 and 1982. Whereas the original title was a combination of two Atari arcade titles (Tank and […]

Choplifter was originally released by Broderbund in 1982 as an Apple II game but it was so successful that it was ported to other systems and even had an arcade release by Sega in 1985. That version was a remake and some home ports were based on Sega’s coin op. The Atari 7800 version, […]

Burger Time was released to the arcades in 1982 by Data East. The title was very successful and it was ported to many systems but the Atari 7800 was not one of those systems. Thankfully, Ken Siders decided to take his version of the game (Beef Drop) which he had created for the 5200 […]

For whatever reason, Atari only released one RealSports title for the 7800 (Baseball) but it did release other sports titles with interesting formulas. Basketbrawl is such an example as it mixes basketball with street fighting in a surprisingly successful manner. The story of Basketbrawl has the action set in the inner-city area where gangs […]

Ballblazer was first released in 1984 on Atari 8-Bit systems and has the honour of being one of the two titles for the 7800 that included a POKEY chip in its cart. This was an excellent move by Atari as one of the best aspects of this game is its catchy music that would […]

In 1982, Gottlieb released a game that took gamers by storm. That game was Q*Bert and it was such a success that it was converted to just about every home system of the time except the Atari 7800. Fear not for Ken Siders did not like to see this gap in the 7800’s library […]

The one aspect of Atari’s version of Asteroids for the 7800 that many players dislike is that it does not have the vector-style graphics of the original arcade game. Well, Bob DeCrescenzo decided to address this by hacking Atari’s original game into something that more closely resembles the arcade while adding the elements from […]

Asteroids

There are certain games that little in terms of introduction and Asteroids is one such game. Released in the arcades in 1979, Asteroids was a hit for Atari and they made sure most of their systems had a version available for home gamers to enjoy. The 7800, of course, was not left behind and it […]
