Our next playthrough is for the #Atari7800 this time. A great version of the Apple II game - Choplifter.

Rescuing all 64 hostages is not easy but that's our challenge.

Incredible on Choplifter for #7800
Play along with us. Emulation is fine but if registering a high score please do not use save states or rewind!

@ClubAtari Voilà je crois que j'arrive au bout de ce challenge. J'ai bien tenté de faire un perfect avec 64, mais ces 63 otages sauvés feront l'affaire
#choplifter #Atari7800

score : 63

@magdenald We'll be pushing this later today.
I've been a bit busy at work.

It's easy enough to not get hit, the issue is having the enemies killing the hostages!

Blast through robot mazes in Berzerk on Atari 5200! Dodge Evil Otto, rack up points, and test your reflexes in pure retro chaos. #Berzerk #Atari5200 #RetroGaming

It's the week end and i'm playing some classic #atari games in my pj's. #videogamesforever

[BeardedSonOfNel @BeardedSonOfNel]

Happy Saturday folks. It's time for a new challenge, and this week we're playing Desert Falcon for the Atari 7800. Feel free to post your scores in this thread and/or the challenge site: https://t.co/NOcLSxokaS
All are welcome to come and play. Invite friends!

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@magdenald We haven't really pushed it yet so we can slow it down. Is it being posted to you?

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@BeardedSonOfNel It's quite addictive. Bombs for tanks but when travelling fly forwards as the planes and drones can catch you by surprise!

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@magdenald Well I too only like to use real hardward, these cartridges just sit in place of the games. If you're not using save states or cheat codes you'd never know the difference. Collecting is part of the fun but once games are over £60 it becomes a difficult choice!

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@magdenald Hopefully you can find it!

I'd highly recommend one of these cartridges. They are expensive but they're very good. The AV outlet on yjr front provides the best visual quality I've ever seen for Atari. It plays 2600 and 7800 games. It also has save states for training.

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@magdenald We can start a bit later if you need to source the game. It's definitely worth buying! Easier than the arcade game. There is a series of the Choplifter games on Gameboy.

I don't doubt that you'll be able to beat this challenge 😂
I got 55 out of 64 the other day.

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@magdenald
Another AI trophy win for you!

Well done! Really good score.

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

Getting into #AtariJaguar collecting or even just buying the console and controllers can be very expensive nowadays!
It's true that there are some rubbish games for it but there's some very good ones too.

Has anyone used the BigPEmu Jaguar emulator?

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@magdenald @Akron90sGamer Are you able to play 7800 games?

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

Galaxian play along has now finished. Thanks to those that played or submitted scored!

Before I finish the scoreboard @Akron90sGamer did you have a score you wanted to submit?

Next play along will be a 7800 game and the challenge will not be a highscore but an attempt to finish

[Atari Club @ClubAtari]

@magdenald @retro_d Very good tips. I. Found my best scores were coming from clearing column by column. Starting with the centre and trying to take out one entire side. Tricky game though, it all falls apart so quickly.

Live now with one last attempts on Galaxian for @ClubAtari , if allowed. Want to at least get that extra life. Then we'll find a "Super" game after.
