The Atari 7800, despite its lack of anything resembling decent sound capabilities, is a great and cheap retro console (usually selling for less than 40$; more when boxed), that besides sporting its own range of good games also offers full Atari 2600 compatibility. You can get your hands on a boxed specimen via this Atari 7800 eBay auction. Seller only ships within the US.
What's more, the console comes complete with 2 controllers, a/c adapter, all cables and 27 (!) games. Among them you will find such timeless arcade favourites as Robotron 2048, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Xevious, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Yars Revenge and Pac Man. Oh, and to find out everything about the 7800 and its software do follow this link.
I'd be sorely tempted by this. It is one of the few systems I don't have....
ReplyDeleteNice auctions by the way!
Well, dear Retro Brothers, you really should grab one then. It's not like they are overpriced or anything. Oh, and the auctions said thank you and blushed...
ReplyDeleteBtw, that's a fantastic blog with a wise focus on the Speccy!
