@shanselman I bought the Atari 2600+ least year and it's been fun. How's the 7800?

@shanselman I was wondering that since the 2600 will also play 7800 games, although I haven't tried that

@shanselman

Hot take: I think the vast majority of 2600/5200/7800 stuff didn't age particularly well-- those weak ports of arcade games in an era where you can now actually play the arcade originals at home/on the go is mostly nostalgia over the port.

YMMV, though, and if you're happy with the purchase, great!

Note that Activision/Imagic stuff doesn't apply here. Those were always solid.
