Midnight Mutants

The Atari 7800 has always been kind of an oddity, when it comes to console history. Compared to the NES and the TurboGrafx-16, it saw the least amount of support, leading to a rather small number of games actually released for it. It did, however, have a pretty wide variety of games on display, from some decent arcade ports to more middling ports of home computer games. A small portion of these games were Atari's attempt to compete with popular games seen on the NES, never quite reaching the same heights as their inspirations. You couldn't have Super Mario Brothers, but Scrapyard Dog is just as good, right? No Operation Wolf port, but Alien Brigade is almost the same thing, kind of! And so it goes with Midnight Mutants, the system's first and only attempt at a Legend of Zelda-style game. Given the age of the hardware it's on, it still manages to be pretty impressive.
