That ghostbusters game to me don't look very good, looks like too much going on for a stratagey of any kind, other than insert quarters.. :D
I looksed at dk junior and found that the7800 version is pretty good, considering it has all the levels(better than coleco if I can remember.) The only thing its missing is the better sound, into, cutscenes, cage moving at the end of each level. Funny no one ever did a hack of that game,
Also Kangaroo, the 7800 could easily handle a perfect arcade port, as I have never seen a good port of Kangaroo on anything and its a classic.
I play froggie now and then on prosystem and found the sound and graphics awesome, why did it not make it too cart??? The only small issue is frog placement on the logs/turtles when you jump sideways it should pick a spot for the frog and have 2 or three places for the frog to go, but its not a major fault.

Shao Lin's Road (Kicker) would make a good 7800 game. Awesome game, limited number of stages, not many home versions.

C64 Version

I'd really like to see the Arcade version of Atari's OFF THE WALL (not the 2600 version) it would be awesome on the 7800, check it out - http://en.wikipedia....ll_(arcade_game)

Imagine what River Raid 7800 could be like. Would have to rename it though.

I'll second the Bosconian vote. Great game that never really got a port.

What we really need though is a Sinistar port that takes advantage of the XM modules sound hardware.

Beware, I live!

Games I would love to see: All of them, or at least more of them. I don't have a complete 7800 library, but I haven't seen anything I don't like (yet). Any new games would be a welcome addition. I see the WIP games here and my wallet starts to twitch in anticipation. Whatever comes out next will be good.

Man this game takes me back the game room at "Pasqualis Pizza (now out of business)." This use to sit two or three rows away from "Double Dragon.":D Oh yes... And there was Afterburnner.

This game looked crappy now, but back then this game was the bomb especially when all you were use to was playing the 2600 and the NES.

Bosconian is a very cool game.

I'd like to see a version of Imagic's DragonFire for 7800 that is very much like the ColecoVision version.
(I'd actually like to see DragonFire on every system. :cool: )

Playing Galaga today made me think that Phoenix may be a good candidate for the 7800?

Did anyone mention Crazy Climber? That was one of my favorites as a kid, and a great looking version was just released on the Bally Astrocade...

I'd personally like to see Centuri's Challenger, as this is a game I've been playing @ a local arcade. Classic arcade gameplay, and I love the sounds. As far as I know, it was never put on a home console and it seems it would be a nice fit for the 7800.
