@@Monhamd1000 emulation isn't really the issue, the issue here is how it interacts with the cart (the 2600+ and 7800+ are cart dumpers). So unless the 2600+ and 7800+ emulates all the hardware on the cart it's not going to happen.
You can play it with no sound using the current update on Atari Age or the ofifical update that will be available soon. I suppose the true reason it's 'not possible' is due to money.
I have yet to play R&V, but seeing the game play, I am mesmerized by the quality of graphics and sound. This is the highest level of quality graphics and animation found on the 7800. I applaud the developer. He is extremely talented.
I definitely can understand the whole hype and buzz about this game. But for me watching the Pro Gamer playing this one, is going to have to do it for me.
@@saurondp rumor says that it's unlikely. There's a few reasons why and both Atari and the dev are aware of the issues but it seems that they don't have any interest in proceeding with making it compatible.
@@PG-gs5vb thank I need to look into that , 1 of the most impressive 8bit graphic games I've seen in awhile, up there with NES "Batman return of the Joker and Battle Toads"
@@Retrosys I agree it's the best game on the console. As for another game... Well unfortunately it's not financially viable. I talked to the dev about it and he put his life on hold to do Rikki and Vikki. He didn't make hardly anything off it and it seemed like no body cared until they couldn't get it for a decent price anymore. Sad really. But at least we got this one
@@TheAtariNetwork : I don't believe his work went unappreciated. They only made around 600 carts and they all sold out. I bought it for $59.95 but i'da gladly paid twice that much for it. It's truly a remarkable game.
@@TeeroyHammermill no offense but when I talked to the dev I was told a lot less than 600 carts. A third of that and it took a long time to sell out. That's the story I was told and you can hear it right from the devs mouth here th-cam.com/video/4ShfgpkbJ_8/w-d-xo.html
@@TheAtariNetwork : I'll check this out. I could've swore it was around 600. They even said they found a glitch that softlocked the game and they had to retest all the carts before they distributed the game which killed a 7800 they were using as a test bed.
I hope there will be a reissue of the physical release. I can play the game off my 7800GD as I bought the Steam version but I'd rather play it off the original cart and support the author once more. I have only finished the game once in the coop mode with a friend. Never played the single player mode for more than a couple levels.

This game is unfortunately not 2600 plus compatible and it doesn't seem like it ever will be. But who knows maybe it'll happen one day...
The Atari 2600 Plus could've been better if it used a 7800 on a chip instead of emulation.

I'm sure that it would sell so very many copies if it wss re-issued.
It really needs to happen.
@@DaveMoorland-zv3tn I highly doubt the 2600+ is fast enough to handle emulating the system as well as all the hardware on the cart.

Agreed! This game is a level beyond anything else out there.
Seeing this game gives me hope that something like Sam's Journey could be brought to the 7800.

Rikki & Vikki is an amazing game, and tons of fun despite how hard it gets. I really hope they can get this game working on the 2600+.

@@TheAtariNetwork That's a shame, I imagine it has to do with the dumper on the 2600+. Oh well.
@@saurondp right on the money. But all I know is through an anonymous source that I was able to verify
eye whites make all the difference in character design!
Still have not played this. I truly hope Atari can get this re-released on cart or at least on the VCS
@@ObsidianContraption that would be ideal!
This game look really amazing, for now I will buy it on steam
I have it on steam, but with the 2600+/7800+, it NEEDS to be rereleased. It will sell like hotcakes!!!!
Would be great it the creators of this game sold a workable "stand alone rom"
You can extract the rom from the Steam version. There's a conversion tool for that.

Best game on the 7800, hands down. I truly hope we get another game on the console from this developer.

@@TeeroyHammermill 600 carts is a lot for a homebrew 7800 game, I think most homebrews usually sell around 200 or so.

Kinda sad that I didn't get a chance to pick up a physical copy of this game. It seem like really great and well design post-market gem

@@PG-gs5vb oh nice. I'm the opposite I completed single player but never got far in coop!
Thank you.
I’m here for the intricate game review and it is a nice game review
Fun fact: Rikki and Vikki are friends with Pocky and Rocky!
Great review! R&V is superb :D I got it when I purchased my Game Drive.
@@KrunchyTheClown78 that's a great value honestly
I got it on Steam and love it. But I never could pass the Egypt level.
@@SylveonTrapito it took me a long time to get past the Egypt level myself
Also, it may bear mentioning which sound chip is in the cartridge.
It's a "chip that never was", called BupChip.
One of the very few good homebrews that got away from me! Lol may have to get a game drive.
@@kevinstrade2752 it's the best value in my opinion
Even furries likes this game!
@@Monhamd1000 well why wouldn't they? It's grrrrrreat!
Looks similar to Witch n Wiz
Did you used to be Toys Games and the Universe? I coulda sworn I've heard that voice before...
I have the game on my MiSTer, but it doesnt include the enhanced audio.
Huh does it include any audio?
@@TheAtariNetwork Yeah, it does sound effects.
@@braillynn ok gotcha
