   Apr 15, 2021 · The Atari 2600 and 7800 are directly related. After the Atari 5200 flopped, Atari needed a better successor to take over for the aging 2600. So the Atari 2600 vs 7800 is a natural comparison. Let’s look at the improvements the 7800 had over its predecessor, and why it wasn’t able to match the 2600’s runaway success.

Makes sense to me.

   Aug 27, 2024 · I imagine the 7800 works better now, than the plus ever will, not counting future hardware revisions, so if you can do WO HDMI, and 2600 plays nice with your tv, I'd say 7800 for sure. Expand. It plays champ games which is a major advantage. Because those games are some of the more desirable games.

   Sep 27, 2024 · For a number of people, the frank answer will be “not much”. In reality, the 7800+ is more a refresh of the 2600+, albeit one in a completely different form factor. Ardent Atari collectors will clearly want one because at £110 / $130 it’s a relatively inexpensive price to pay for another recreation of a classic system that’s in good ...

   Oct 18, 2011 · Posted October 19, 2011. Pros: - some great games you can only play on the 7800. Some of the homebrews are excellent. - compatibility with 99% of the 2600 games. A few don't run but I found that was pretty rare. Cons: - Some 7800 games require the 2-button 7800 joysticks, and I strongly dislike these controllers.

   Oct 7, 2018 · Nov 3, 2021. #11. cwilkson said: If you have a 2600 hooked up to a CRT and have picture issues vs 7800 on the same CRT, then your 2600 is broken. (needs a new cable and/or alignment at least) Yeah. I think this is correct. However, it was easier to hook up the 7800 than do any updates on the 2600.

   Is a 2600+ better than a 7800+?

   • Because the 2600+ was released at a moment in time, whats better, to release the 7800+ in exactly the same hardware and software spec as the launch 2600+ or to subtlely improve on it whilst trying to ensure 2600+ keeps getting the same upgrades. Makes sense to me. But that will lead to better compatibility because of those changes.

   Is the Atari 7800+ compatible with the 2600+ plus?

   • In terms of games, the 7800+ will have more or less the same compatibility as the 2600+ plus. Last year’s console supported old Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges, and the 7800+ will do exactly the same thing. It even comes with a new official 7800 game, a sequel to Atari’s classic Crystal Castles.

   Does a Nintendo 7800+ work with a 2600?

   • You might struggle to find many games from yesteryear compatible with the 7800. The console saw a bare 59 official games on the platform. Most were revitalized versions of arcade classics, including a version of Nintendo’s Donkey Kong. Luckily, the original 7800 worked with the 2600 games, so the new 7800+ does as well.

   Should I buy a 7800+ TV?

   • The vast majority of modern televisions don’t have the appropriate connectors to handle old consoles from the mid ‘80s, so the 7800+ makes things much easier by offering a standard HDMI output instead of the old RF output you had to plug into a TV’s aerial socket.

   Will the Gamestation plus 7800+ play 2600 games?

   • Just like its previous recreation console, the new 7800+ can play your attic’s worth of dusty cartridges for the near-40-year-old console, but it has the added benefit of wireless controllers and extra-backward compatibility with 2600 games. This isn’t the GameStation Plus Atari and My Arcade pushed at the beginning of 2023.

   Does Atari 2600 work on modern TVs?

   • When you think of old Atari consoles, most people picture the Atari 2600 (aka the Atari VCS), that classic woodgrain system with the large switches on it. It’s the reason Atari decided to recreate the 2600 last year with the Atari 2600+, an updated version of the console that works on modern televisions.
