Atari 2600 or 7800?

To me the 7800 is better but I'm really enjoying 7800 games.

 

The 7800 has some minor problems with just a few 2600 games.

Someone here may point you the games that won't work properly on the 7800.

 

It's better to pick an early version of the 7800 to get even fewer incompatible carts.

This is because later versions won't run supercharger games and maybe 5 original Atari 2600 games.

I'm in Brazil and I find some clone cartridges that don't fit in the 7800.

 

 

Known Atari 7800 issues with Atari 2600 games/hardware:

Atarivox doesn't fit, you'll need to open it (but there's no Atarivox available now)

It hasn't a b/w to color swicth. A few games use it like starmaster of Activision.

 

FYI, I do have an Atari 2600 (although dying...) and an expasion module for Colecovision to play Atari 2600 games. So maybe that's why I'm not that concerned with 7800 issues...
