The other thing I didn't get into here is, I absolutely can't believe this is an Atari 7800 game. What the hell.
Atari fans have always been saying "well, the 7800 could have had games more advanced than the NES if only it had had more time / the right designers / etc", and look. I'm a Saturn fan. I'll say those words pointing to the Saturn Shenmue video. But I've never quite been sure the 7800 had it in it to genuinely be a technical powerhouse. But this game! The NES couldn't have done a version of Rikki & Vikki that looks this good. It's unbelievable. It's not a good game because it's technically impressive, but damn if that doesn't help make its case.
