Atari 7800 Manual Compendium, a book with all #Atari7800 console retail games manuals with covers remastered in color based on box art as well as every hand-drawn artwork of screenshots, items, characters, etc. replaced with accurate in-game graphics faithful to the originals http://www.videogamemanual.com/#atari#retrogames#retrogaming
Atari just announced for 2600+ the new gamepad CX78+, bulk paddles, extension cable and 3 games: Ninja Golf, Food Fight and Fatal Run. Launching May 24th. #atari#retrogames#retrogaming#atari2600#atari7800
"Complete set of commercially-released #Atari7800#lightgun games" is perhaps one of the most underwhelming #RetroGaming collection achievements possible...
I'm super excited that my Atari 2600+ finally arrived today.
I pre-ordered this immediately, months ago when it was announced and it was due to be here mid to late November. But due to high demand, it got here a couple of weeks later.
I can't wait to hook it up and check it out. It plays Atari 2600+ cartridges as well as original Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges.
OMG, I found both of my #atari2600 & #atari7800! Doing a size comparison of the new #atari2600plus next to the originals. The new 2600+ is about the size of the 7800. Need to clean my original consoles, they be dirty.

The joystick makes the game👍
I use a self built arcade stick with A/B buttons for the #Atari7800 (and C64 and Amiga via switch) and jump button (Up).
For 2600 paddle games I use the paddles on a modded Mikrohändler😊
Without the mod they don't turn far enough..
Shame, Popeye does not work on the 2600+...
I bought the new #Atari#VCS konsole and just tried it out.
The enclosed 10-game cartridge works properly. But the console seems not compatible with #Atari7800 carts and does not suppart the Harnoniy SD cartridge. How disappointing!
Aquí recién llegado a casa con la Atari 2600+ y lo primero, a probar juegos de Atari 7800 😊😊
De los 15 cartuchos que tengo de época (6 completos en caja), todos PAL, me fallan 3. Espero que en próximas actualizaciones lo arreglen 🙂. Se ve y se juega genial, además con el mando original.
Luego ya tocará probar los juegos de 2600 🙂 , que son bastantes.
Je remets ce vieux thread sur de magnifiques covers de jeux vidéo. Pas envie qu'il disparaisse. A l'époque où j'étais en coloc avec L'aspi, on avait tout compilé dans un dossier une multitude d'illustrations très laides qu'on trouvait dans les magasins ou sur le net.
Je commence avec Snow White And The 7 Clever Boys, un jeu PS2, la contrefaçon de Phoenix Games:
#Atari announces the $130 Atari 2600+, with HDMI and a slot for #Atari2600 and #Atari7800 cartridges, the $25 CX40+ joystick, and a $40 CX30+ paddle controller bundle. 🕹️ :atari:
Mashing together bits of Space Invaders, Lunar Lander and Spacewar!, Asteroids was proof of the meteoric (oho) advance of early video games. Gorgeous vector graphics and fluid gameplay replaced the chunky pixels and rigidity of Space Invaders. Home conversions were solid too, most notably the colourful Atari 7800 take, with its co-op two-player mode.
