haha Well I guess that explains why they made evil Mario blue in Super Mario Sunshine.

i find it weird that this was on the atari 7800, while this same game was on the nes as a black box game!

This looks equivalent to the NES version, so thats pretty good for the old atari.

I just took a look at the 7800 ports of the Nintendo arcade games, and it seems pretty clear to me between palettes, title screens, how the screen is condensed, etc., that Atari basically just bought the NES versions of the arcade games and tried to quietly port those versions to the 7800 rather than the arcade versions themselves. So basically, what we're looking at are halfass ports-of-ports trying to be first-wave NES games. You really are better off just getting the NES versions, I'd think.

@macuser5555 It failed because it was 1984 technology. But aside from that Atari did allow for external soundchips in the cartridges. The problem was that most companies didn't spend the extra money to give their games a closer to 1987/88 level of sound.
