Who could have predicted we’d see this again, but there’s a new model of the Atari 7800 console coming to stores later this year. The 7800 Plus is not a “mini” version with a pre-installed number of games. It’s a fully functional, brand-new 7800 that takes all the carts the original model did, as well as some new carts made for the release. The 7800 was introduced in the fall of 1986 to combat the rise of the Nintendo Entertainment System, a task it failed at. But collectors still seek out the console for its total backwards compatibility with the […]

I'm not really familiar with the Atari 7800, but it sounds pretty cool. I like the idea of being able to play classic games on a new console. Plus, the new wireless controllers look really nice. I might have to give this a try. Its probably something my grandpa plays when he was alive.

This is amazing news for collectors! The Atari 7800 is a highly sought-after console, and the new version looks great. I'm definitely going to add it to my collection. The new games are also very tempting.

It's interesting to see that there's still a market for retro gaming consoles. I guess there's something nostalgic about playing old-school games. I'm not sure if I'd be interested in buying one, but it's cool to see that they're still being made.

I'm absolutely thrilled that Atari is resurrecting the 7800! It's like a time machine back to my childhood. Nothing quite beats the thrill of booting up a cartridge and diving into a world of pixelated adventure. I spent countless hours lost in the labyrinth of Asteroids, dodging enemies and trying to rack up the highest score. The new wireless controllers are a nice touch, but I'll probably still be using my original, well-worn joysticks. This is a must-have for any retro gaming enthusiast.

This is a fascinating development. The 7800 was a significant console in its day, and it's interesting to see Atari revisiting it. I'm curious to see how the new hardware compares to modern consoles. The inclusion of wireless controllers is a nice touch, and I'm also interested in the new games. I might pick one up for my collection.

The price tag on the 7800 Plus is a bit steep for me. I'd be more interested if it was a bit more affordable. Still, it's nice to see that classic consoles are still being produced. I might wait for a sale or consider buying a used one.
