Atari 7800 games go "squish", not "click."

Poor QC at Atari. This is not uncommon.

Damn. Which part is it in he cart that isn't working? Can it be repaired, or should I look for new carts? I mean, neither of these are expensive, but it's still a bit annoying.

I think the tactile feedback is a separate issue from your non-working carts.

7800 carts have a different card edge (compared to 2600 carts) which will change their feel. Also, many 2600 carts have a cart edge cover that the 7800 and later 2600 carts lack. Having that cover, or lack thereof, will change the way that cartridges feel when inserted.

My advice: Clean the cartridges & the pin connector on the console. Forget about the squish.

Forget about the squish.

I would love to, but it's pretty difficult to find the right distance they need to be pushed into the Atari without that convenient "click: I'm here" noise. I can get them working, but it's certainly not as easy as I'd like.
