Did you hear about this new Atari coming out next year called the 7800?

Sorry...what????

[undead455]

Yep I heard it will be backward compatible with the 2600. cool :P

The 7800 looks cool and all, but I don't know... I was kinda disappointed when I heard that the Intellivision II is just a different model. What is Mattel thinking? I mean, the Colecovision is out, and it looks fantastic. Atari has new systems coming out, and this is all that Mattel gives us? C'mon...

Oh well, I'm an Intellivision fan to the end, I guess. I'll be buying that ECS unit for sure. Can you imagine, the Intellivision as a computer! That would be totally gnarly, dude. And with that System Changer thing, I can just play my 2600 games on it anyway. I heard Mattel is bringing out one of these things to play Coleco games too. Soon, I'll be able to play everything on my Intellivision. :rocker:

If the 7800 is any good, Mattel will just release another adapter for it anyway.

Playworld!! I loved...err love that store! I will get my Legend of Zelda for Nintendo there when it comes out.

Until then, I'll just stick with my 2600 since my parents won't spring for this newfangled thing.

I just understand...i was sleepy...sorry :P

I have a feeling it's gonna get delayed a few years. Atari won't introduce it until too late when Nintendo is already on top.

Just my feeling.

[kainemaxwell]

What's this backwards compatability you're talking about? O_O

LONG LIVE MY PONG SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gamergary]

I hope that it is better than the 5200.

[charitycasegreg]

Sweet atari? Too bad im not born. now I cant play this for 5 more years.

[AB Positive]

I hope that it is better than the 5200.

NOTHING is better than the 5200.


NOTHING.


7800? Why not give us more 5200 games! I hear there's a great port of Super Pac Man on the computer systems that would work on the Super System...

I think I'll wait till I can catch mine at Big Lots for about 49.99 with 5 games. That will rock!

[maxlords]

That 5200 is rad, but man, I'd think that a 7800 would be wicked cool, and hopefully smaller! That 5200 is bigger than Nixon's jowls!
