Planet Smashers
Atari 7800 · 1990
About this game
Planet Smashers finally delivered an original 2D Shooter to the Pro System late in its life.
Your spaceship, which oddly looks like an airplane, has the grave task of defending Earth from an alien armada.

Planet Smashers has some nice features like level warp codes, laser upgrades, cloaking devices, and interesting bosses.
You even have the burden of defending Earth's shield from asteroids and alien ships.
The back of the box boasts, "awesome sound effects", but the main laser noise is mind-numbingly irritating.
After you defeat the game, you are treated to a text ending commanding you to play Alien Brigade, which makes little sense since you just defeated the alien mothership.
About Atari 7800
The Atari 7800 (1986) was designed as a technical successor to the 2600 with backward compatibility for that console's cartridge library, but it launched years after being developed and struggled against the NES's dominance. Its brief commercial window means a relatively small original-game library, making complete 7800-exclusive titles a niche but approachable part of classic Atari collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Planet Smashers for Atari 7800 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Planet Smashers to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A7800 release dates back to 1990.
