Classic Pac Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I don't know about you but I use Wikipedia a lot, maybe a lot more than I like to admit. You see over the years I have been here I learned a lot more about the 7800 than I ever knew. So after seeing the post on it's computer once again, i decided to see what Wikipedia had and it isn't much. See what I mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_7800 For one it doesn't even mention the computer, and I am very sure than unreleased game list is far from complete. Could someone here who knows more about this update it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Pac Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you want to be technical, all consoles are computers, but I was talking about the attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what I mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_7800 For one it doesn't even mention the computer, and I am very sure than unreleased game list is far from complete. Could someone here who knows more about this update it? It says that: atari later began to use bankswitching in 1988, releasing 64K and later 128K (1 megabit games). By the end of the system’s life cycle, most games were 128K in size, with a few being 144K. While the system was certainly capable of playing even larger games (4 megabit and beyond) no games of that size were developed. That I did not know! Now if they did that in the first place, develop 7800 games in 4 mbs or more. Would they have had a better chance at winning the war with Nintendo, or Sega????

Curt Vendel Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I did some quick edits this am, I see a lot of glaring omissions and errors, I'll try to work on it when I can, been doing a little too much lately, need to take a bit of a step back and relax...

Classic Pac Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 The grammar police strike again!!! To make my point as clear as day, YES I am talking about the keyboard attachment!!! I thought that since a lot of people usually check Wikipedia first, that some here would correct what posted there with more accurate information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he got it or not (I think he probably did), I'm glad it is now understood. In a world where I find myself making that many mistakes in grammar I will fall on my sword. Side note: Most annoying error: Do'nt, wo'nt, ca'nt. What do these people think the apostrophe is for? Decoration?

shadow460 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Would like to see the final article once Curt is done with it. (dont give a rip about grammar, either BTW) lol @ CPUWIZ! I wonder if the homebrew community will venture into larger games for the 7800? I've seen pics and a few tidbits about the 512K Pokey board, but I don't know much about it.
