Okay guys, here are some brand new Atari 7800 reviews. I haven't been getting much feedback lately. Do you like these reviews? What do you think about these games? Your turn...

^Good reviews, as usual. So whats next in reviews?

And have you considered reviews of those two Mega Man anthologies yet?

I definitely enjoyed the reviews and if I were you I would review those two Mega Man collections because you seem to have gotten a [B]lot[/B] of people asking you about those. I have never played them my self so I couldn't tell you what they are like (I have only played the original Mega Man, Mega Man X, and Mega Man: Xtreme out of the entire Mega Man series).

Pluto sounds like it is a good game. I may get this next. My next game that I am getting for the atari 7800 is JR Pacman.

I have decided to hold off reviewing the Mega Man Anthologies until you stop talking about it.

Always love the "new" old-school reviews Dave. As much I enjoy the re-reviews and reviews of current games (PS2 and up), I always get a warm feeling in my gamer soul when I stop by and see something new posted for an old system (especially when it's for the less-common systems).

And thanks for the review of Water Ski. Interesting to see, even though I'll never be able to afford it.

Since you want feedback, I'm giving you a thumbs up.

First set of reviews in a while that I've fully agreed with you on three games. I think you did a excellent job covering all three titles, and its nice to see Water Ski finally get some recognition.

Well, it's nice that you agknowledged the request this time...

But on a serious note, are you at least considering giving those compilations a shot? I'm kindof bummed out at the lack of Mega Man game reviews here...it is one of my favorite game series after all...

But i will stop bugging you about it once i get a serious reply. They're really good compilations, and they're easy and cheap to aquire, so there's really no excuse not to at least give them a try...

Well, see ya later.

100% agree. I got a boxed copy of Water Ski awhile back and should really put some time into it.

I told you Plutos was great. It is a crime that this game and Sirius did not see release back in the day. They would have really added to the 7800 library, espcially its shooter library. I think if all the released prototypes and the homebrews for the 7800 had been released in 1989 or so the system would have seen a small surge in sales, and would be much more fondly remembered. We'd have had Sirius, Burger Time, Q-Bert, Putos, Missing in Action, Pacman Collection, Super Pacman, Pacman Jr., Space Duel, Klax, Asteroids Deluxe, Space Invaders, and some others I can't remember. Right now the 7800 board at Atariage is trying to get an RPG team together.
