Update on Atari 7800 Expansion Module

[7th lutz]

Curt Vendel and Legacy Engineering Group is still working on the Atari 7800 Expansion Module.

Here is the Atari 7800 Expansion Module Status Page: http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogames/consoles/7800/expansion/

That page is updated by Curt Vendel.

Atari 7800 Expansion Module still has units available at http://www.legacyengineer.com/storefront/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42&products_id=115

Atari 7800 Expansion Module games completed within the last year are Pac-Man Collection Pokey and Super Circus Atariage.

Pac-Man Collection Pockey is a hack of Pac-Man Collection with better sound and Nes Pac-Man mazes added. Super Circus Atariage is the 7800 version of Circus Atari with high score capabilities.

Other games that have Atari 7800 Expansion Module futures is listed on http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/173454-7800-expansion-module-xm-games/page__view__findpost__p__2151597

Has there been any word about when those games will be released?

I am confused, is the expansion module available?

I only have information on 2 games right now for release information and a possible unknown built in game for being released. I don't have any information on when the other games will be released.

What I could tell you that it sounds like the Atari 7800 expansion module is going to have a built in game, but I don't know what is the built in game is. I also don't know who the author of the built in game is right now. What I read is the first Atari 7800 expansion module units will be shipped in mid September if it goes to plan.

Atari 7800 Expansion module author PacManPlus already said Super Circus Atariage & Pacman320 will be released sometime after the expansion module is completed. PacManPlus isn't able to test those two games o Atari 7800 expansion module unit right now to see it if works. Once the game is tested on a Atari 7800 expansion Module, PacManPlus will take pre-orders and send them out.

I expect the Atariage store to have Super Circus Atariage & Pacman320, but you have to longer since the Atariage Store will not have in first by my understanding at this point. Atariage hasn't added any new games to their store this year and I can't give a straight answer when those 2 games will be available for Atariage store as a result.

The expansion module isn't available in terms of able to ship it out right now. Legacy Engineering group is only taking pre-orders right now.

It sounds like it the first units will be shipped in mid September unless something unexpected happens.
