Looking for a game

I am looking for the name of a video game that I played on the Atari ST. It was a Dungeon Master style game, but not the one that is returned when you search for it. One of the unique features of this game was a cut scene that features several dwarves and one that is name MURPH. Add when they have a problem it is instantly blamed on MURPH. I know this is a very weird post, but aby help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Who Else Played Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel’s Castle on the Atari? 💙🎮

Long before open-world adventures and online multiplayer, there was one tiny blue hero on a massive mission…

Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel’s Castle had us dodging danger, avoiding Azrael, and racing through Gargamel’s spooky castle to rescue Smurfette—all on the humble Atari.

For many of us, this was one of our very first licensed video games, and just hearing the word “Smurf” instantly brings back memories of Saturday morning cartoons and hours spent glued to the TV.

Simple? Yes. Frustrating? Definitely. But we’d happily play it all over again.

Did you ever complete it… or did Gargamel always win? 💙👇

Gamestation Go n00bish questions

Hello!

I just got the Go for Father’s Day and I’m really loving it so far but I do have a few questions and would love some help please.

  1. What’s the best community to follow to network with other users?

  2. I got the SD card to work quickly for games, but it seems like the menu to get to it is one time access? Like if I choose to not access it, there doesn’t appear to be a way or icon that lets me get back to it if I decide to use it later.

  3. Oddly I’m loving the Balls of Steel collection though I don’t know where I can go in each game table to access and look at my high scores. Is there a way to see it?

  4. Some of these mame titles fire up but there’s audio reverberations like in after burner II. Other titles like Cruisin’ USA and Cyberball have audio issues and run incredibly slow because it’s trying to replicate dual cab behavior. These worked on I guess later versions of mame for me fine. So did stuff like marvel super heroes. Why didn’t Atari/ my arcade pick a newer version of mame or are they working on adding support to additional titles? -(The cyberball one blows my mind as it is an Atari game. Don’t know why they didn’t do a reloaded version of it either…)

Thanks for your help, feedback and suggestions!

My favorite arcade game of all time ported to the Atari 7800

I just found a sealed copy of Donkey Kong Junior for the Atari 7800 in one of my retro gaming boxes. This was back when Nintendo licensed their IPs to other consoles.

I own an arcade cocktail table of this game with original hardware and Nintendo schematics for the boards. It also has the chip set kit that makes the original Donkey Kong available. You might say I’m a fan…

Quick trial of 'Atari 50' games

Hello! Here is our quick trial of some Atari 50 games! Quite hard to just jump in and play some of them, but we do try!

It's not too serious, especially as the younger generation are unused to it, and it's only part 1 (and the old man shtick does get....old)

Issue with 7800 controllers

Hey everyone,

Recently, I've brought an atari 7800 with some games and two controllers. Both controllers seem to have some issue. Button 2 doesn't work on the 7800 on both controllers (button 1 works).

On my atari 2600+, both controllers' button 2 work but as the boutton 1. For exemple, in ninja golf, both bouttons make the character jump and none make him fight. Same issue in my others 7800 games.

It's kinda weird that both buttons 2 on both controllers doesn't work on the 7800 but work only as button 1 on the 2600+

Any advices ?

Released my first game (In Beta)

https://d07studios.itch.io/pong-reloaded

just released my first game in Beta, its called PONG! Reloaded, it is a modern, reimagining of classic Pong, built with a mix of arcade simplicity, fast reflex gameplay, unlockable cosmetics, story levels, boss fights, achievements, customisation, and a growing collection of game modes.

This beta keeps the core idea simple: hit the ball, outplay your rival, and score points. Around that classic foundation, PONG! Reloaded adds new mechanics like paddle dashing, time dash, challenge rules, boss battles, visual filters, custom colours, unlockable paddle and ball skins, music selection, and a proper menu system

  • Main Features: Multiple game modes - Vs Bot, Vs P2, OG Pong, Normal, Challenge, and Story. 
  •  Story mode - Progress through themed chapters and unlock new mechanics. 
  •  Boss fights - Take on bosses with different attacks and phases. 
  •  Paddle Dash and Time Dash - New movement abilities that make matches faster and more tactical. 
  •  Unlockables - Earn new paddle and ball skins through achievements and secrets. Customisation - Change colours, dash trails, glow, backgrounds, logos, filters, music, paddles, and balls. 
  •  Achievements - Unlock achievements and rewards while playing. 
  •  Music and sound options - Multiple tracks, menu music selection, volume controls, and arcade-style sound effects. 
  •  OG Pong mode - A black-and-white 4:3 mode inspired by the original 1972 arcade game.

i'd like some feedback and (if you have any ideas) features to add to the final game,

thanks for reading :)
