   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.

Even comparing to just the 5200, there are some notable differences. Centipede, Space Invaders, and the XE versions of Mario Bros. and Choplifter are obvious examples.
