Atari 7800 Gets New Action Game Rikki & Vikki, Should Not Exist
January 2nd, 2019 Carl Williams You don’t see the Atari 7800 come up in conversation all that often when discussing independent homebrew games. There simply are not a ton of them being developed, certainly less than there are for the Commodore 64 (can any platform touch that level of popularity though?). Anyhow, strap in, get ready, and prepare yourself for […]

June 12th, 2018 Carl Williams When you think of the Atari 7800 you probably don’t think of role-playing games. Spire of the Ancients is exactly that, a new role-playing game by a member of the AtariAge forums.

A Retro Gamer’s 12 Days Of Christmas: The Sixth Day, Joust
December 17th, 2017 Brandon Weicks On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, six geese a laying. As inexplicable the bird theme is with this carol, the lyric “six geese a laying” could have been the inspiration for the game Joust. Albeit, during the better part of a drunken eggnog bender. Just think of it, a […]

Double Dragon Pulls Brawler Genre into Mainstream – July 2nd, 1987 – Today in Video Game History
July 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams When you think of arcade brawlers there are not many names that will top Double Dragon. Technos knew they had a good blend of unique to the competition game play and graphics with this one. Sure, there were other brawlers available before Double Dragon but none captured the fan base that this arcade unit did. […]

Atari 7800 Discontinued – January 1st, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
January 1st, 2016 Carl Williams A good six year run is what the Atari 7800 had in North America. It could have been longer had Atari played their cards right in licensing the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). They didn’t and it cost them dearly. Interestingly, the Atari 7800 was announced a good two years BEFORE it was released. They announced […]

Atari Announces the Atari 7800 – May 21st, 1984 – Today in Video Game History
May 20th, 2015 Carl Williams We can sit here all day and play the “what if” game, especially when it comes to Atari. We all know about their antics throughout gaming history. For one, their Atari 7800 console was announced today, in 1984 but wasn’t released till sometime in 1986. Take the 7800 for instance, what if Atari had launched […]
