Hello,

I was on ebay and some guy with a SHIT LOAD of 7800 stuff said he had a repro of a game called Shooting Arcade for the 7800 was this game not just a 2600 proto or did they try and then scrap it for the 7800 also? I sure hope not cause that would be yet another game I'm missing

It's the 2600 proto stuck on a 7800 cart board, so you can only play it on a 7800.

Thank god, so technically its just the 2600 version right?

Is it easier and or cheaper to use a 7800 PCBEPROM to reproduce shooting arcade? Just asking cause I know its a real bitch to put it on a 2600 cart and was just wondering if the 7800 would be an easiercheaper route to go maybe?

I just found out this game would have "Red Label" style but here is my first crack at it none the less. Back to the drawing board to make the Red Label!!

Yes, both easier and cheaper.

Well seeing that I like shooting games I started drawing up a new label art for Shooting Arcade. Here's a ink drawing of the label art:)

Well here's the color box art of the Atari Shooting Arcade game I did today.

Lose the cans. They don't look as sharp as the other pictures, the placement of them exploding makes no sense, and the red explosion lines cheapen the piece.

Ok,

So it seems to me that there is quite a bit of intrest in this game and that there would be ALOT of people that would buy a real cartrage version of this game so who's gonna put this bad boy into a print run? Hell, even if it was just on a 7800 cart with the bankswitching striped out of the game I'm sure most people wouldn't care that it had to be on a 7800 cart just to keep the cost affordable right? I would love to see this game get sold in cart format, Just wish I had knwn about this game when Best Electronics was still selling it

[Tempest]

BTW I've just found a prototype for the PAL version of Shooting Arcade. I'll post the rom tonight.

Does anyone have a scan of the labels that Best Electronics used when they did their print run of Shooting Arcade? I saw the cart this summer when it was on ebay (I got sniped) but didn't bother to save the label so anyone that has it I would like to get a copy of it please.
