• Atari 7800+ available for pre-order

    From David L. P. Solimano@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 23 11:54:12 2024
    Just got the email, looks like it's available here https://atari.com/collections/7800. They're also putting out some game reissues, wireless controllers, etc as part of the release.

    Just placed an order for mine. I can't find my original 2600 and 5200
    after my move, but I'm pretty sure they're in a box in my mother's
    basement, I'm going to have to drive out and make a search!

    Re: the 2600+ release from last year, I'm happy with it, it plays my
    original 2600 games in addition to the new carts. It's definitely
    running some kind of emulator in there, they didn't rebuild the original hardware, so that's kind of a downside because some games have issues,
    but an upside because the vast majority of games work fine with HDMI
    tvs, etc.

    Regards,
    David
