   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.

   May 6, 2005 · To the original thought of the poster, I have often wondered why Atari didn't put more of their late-80's 2600 on both systems (probably cost, sales were better on the 2600). Secret Quest would have been a better game to take advantage of the 7800, but it also would have been great to see other adaptations take advantage of the hardware (Yars Revenge, Star Raiders, Adventure, etc)

   Aug 27, 2024 · On 8/27/2024 at 12:43 PM, Ben from Plaion said: 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.

   Feb 10, 2013 · There is a 5200 trackball controller. If you get into the 5200 then I recommend all the above. It can be expensive but since the 5200 has a much smaller library than the 2600 it is still cheaper collecting for the 5200. You can also get the Atarimax Ultimate SD Cartridge.

   Is the Atari 5200 better than the 2600?

   • Gremlins, H.E.R.O., Moon Patrol, Space Dungeon, Pengo, and The Dreadnaught Factor were all examples of what the 5200 could arguably do better than its 2600 predecessor. However, a few gems aren’t nearly enough to save the Atari 5200 from some well-deserved scorn. 4. Jaguar

   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.
