Hi guys,
I have tried to follow the discussion but could not find the definitive answer. Will the Atari 2600+ with the C40+ joystick allow me to play games like Donkey Kong, Pole Position II or Mario Bros from the Atari 7800? All these games use only one button and the machine is supposed to be compatible with 7800 cartridges.
By the way, just to give you my thoughts on the whole idea of the Atari 2600+. I think it is brilliant, it has an iconic look and it allows me to play alone or with my children the games I used to play in the arcades almost 40 years ago. I don't want a Playstation 5 or Xbox because I don't have time to play games. I just want to play casually for up to 30 minutes from time to time. Being able to play games on my TV that I played as a child is something I will enjoy.
When I saw the Lego Atari 2600+, I wanted to buy it at first (even though it cost more than 200 euros), but then I realised that I would not be able to play with it. Now I can put an iconic looking machine next to my TV, switch it on from time to time and play Dodge'em or hopefully Donkey Kong Jr. with my kids 🙂 The beauty of this is that there are no strings attached, no game passes, subscriptions, online codes. Just pure quick fun with the joystick. I am not sure in how far I am representative, but maybe there is more of us.
