In Defense Of The Atari 7800: Rikki & Vikki
As a sort of follow-up to the 7800 Friendly Rebuttal video, here I defend using the recent homebrew Rikki & Vikki in the discussion of the 7800's power/how it stacks up against the NES. This is solely looking at the tech aspects and not the gameplay, although I personally do enjoy this game on the latter factor too.

"Saturn" - Space Invaders [Game Boy Color; Z-Axis; 1999]
Space Invaders has been ported to almost every system out there, Nintendo's Game Boy Color included. Many ports never had music but this one did, since it came out in 1999 when a game with just sound effects wouldn't cut it.

"You Win" - Alien Vs. Predator [Atari Jaguar; Rebellion/Atari; 1994]
While most of this game featured ambient noise, Rebellion's first take on the AvP franchise for Atari's last console did have music for when the player would beat one of the three campaigns in the game (Marine, Predator, Alien),as well as for the title screen.

"Dark Torvus Catacombs" - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes [Nintendo Gamecube; Retro/Nintendo; 2004]
When it comes to dark, spooky music on Halloween, it's hard to compete with the darkest entry in the Metroid Prime series, Echoes. The Dark Torvus Catacombs joins the Bog track by setting the mood of terror of a bounty hunter alone on a haunted planet.

Playing DOOM 'Til I Die
Originally filmed back in November 2023, made to celebrate 30 years for both the Atari Jaguar and iD Software's DOOM, both of which launched in November 1993. The Jaguar version was developed by iD & John Carmack but released in April 1994. Either way, lets play DOOM on the Atari Jaguar until I die.

First Play: Apex Rebels by Sega Amusements/3MindWave (IAAPA 2023)
https://arcadeheroes.com - Here's a level from Sega's latest racer, developing in partnership with 3MindWave, Apex Racer. It's not a Fast & Furious clone, but it certainly plays more casual than Sega's older racers, while maintaining those classic elements like closed circuits and time extensions. This software is 70% complete so what you see here might change by the time the final build rolls off the line. Filmed at the IAAPA 2023 tradeshow #arcade #sega #racing

Yes, The Atari 7800 Could Do Better - Comparing Two Ports Of Mario Bros.
Back in 1988, Atari released ports of Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr. to both the Atari 2600 &7800 systems. They were licensed ports and the 2600 versions were commendable for what they were but on the 7800, they were subpar (or rather, total crap).
Recently, a coder going by the name of Old Style released a new beta of his WIP port of Mario Bros. and as you'll see here, what the 7800 is capable of is far more impressive than what Atari crapped out back in the 80s. Which is sad, but yet another testament to what happens when you decide to cheap out instead of spending a little more to give customers what they want.

How Better Marketing Could Have Helped The Atari Jaguar Avoid Failure
Nov. 23, 1993 - The Atari Jaguar was launched in New York City & San Francisco. This was accompanied by a strong marketing campaign in game magazines - but ultimately, consumers shrugged and waited for other consoles instead. Why did it Atari's effort fail? How should they have approached it? Could better marketing have done anything to result in a better outcome for this infamous 90s failure?
I get into the pre-launch as well as launch phases and proffer up suggestions for a better launch line-up that perhaps could have saved the Jag enough to reach better hardware in the Jaguar 2.
