Has Anybody Ever Play An Atari 7800 Or ROM Before?
« on: August 27, 2023, 06:23:22 pm »
I was just curious about one console that didn't do too good back in the 1980's and that was most defintely the Atari 7800 console. I double doubt you can still find cartridges for a real 7800, so I just downloaded some ROMs for it, and only one game in and I'm pretty impressed with it

I'm currently using a EMU7800.Win emulator with a 2600 and a 7800 pack of old ROM's all together in the same Emulator, I got off the Internet Archive webpage. Fatal Run for the Atari 7800 is a good game, kind of like a downgraded NES type of a system, I am using the keyboard as my controller, so no need to bother with the Atari 7800 or Atari 2600 joysticks or paddles? just good old keyboard action

How many are curious about Atari games I am going to try the jaguar next if I can

DON'T GET ANY ATARI JAGUAR ROMS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WORK RIGHT

I found a 7800 at a goodwill years ago and thought the console had some nice ports of old arcade games. It has my favorite port of Centipede since that version has two player simultaneous. Food Fight, Mario Bros., and Rikki & Vikki were pretty fun too.

Surprisingly , there are still some carts for the 7800 for reasonable prices . I never played 7800 games because I had an Atari 400 , but the 7800 games usually looked as good or slightly better than the 400/800 versions . They were both lightyears ahead of Atari 2600 games .
   Atari just announced the Atari 2600+ console a few weeks ago that will use 2600 and 7800 cartridges so now would actually be a good time to stock up on 7800 games . There's a few 7800 homebrews on ebay as well though the 2600+ will use emulation so who knows what all will end up working on it .
