JPF997 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Has anyone else seen the latest Pat the NES Punk video trashing the 7800+ ? As expected the main complaint is that the console is emulation based instead of FPGA, oh and the emulation is going to be bad apparently because the 2600+ emulation was also bad (according to Pat and Ian) . Here's the video for anyone interested in watching it : Edited August 25 by JPF997 1 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the video for anyone interested in watching it : I know you don't agree, and that's fine, but for many of us -- their takes aren't wrong. I bought the 2600+ and was very disappointed in how things played, so it was an easy return for something I should have absolutely loved. Now I've pre-ordered this (and all the games) because I've heard everyone talking about how much it's been improved thanks to updates, and I'm really excited for it, but if it still has that same disappointment with actually playing it, it'll be a repeat I suppose. But hoping for the best. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I pre-ordered the 7800+. For me it was the form factor. Strangely, I Do have (some type of) nostalgia for the 7800, even though I didn't get it the first time around. I associate it with getting into eBay and the internet and collecting, and modded systems and somewhat of a resurgence of my enthusiasm for Atari in general. It reminded me of how much I liked the original Atari in the early 80's. Not to mention homebrews and AtariAge in general. Now, that out of the way, Pat and Ian are continually Right and I always seem to dig their takes! When they mention that everybody wants Atari to do an FPGA, I couldn't agree more. I agree pretty much entirely with what they had to say, with maybe the exception being that I am buying the 7800+...Even as I push for an FPGA NEXT TIME. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nall3k Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Honestly, the systems I'd love for them to do a + would be the 5200 and Jaguar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please tell Pat and Ian that not all of us Atari fans are insulted, I'm very happy about the carts released alongside the new 7800+. Plus Pat and Ian need to understand 7800 compatibility in the 2600+ was a bonus! Pick and choose which is your favorite looking console and you get both systems included whichever you pick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty good and I love its no-frills packaging. I purchased that one years ago from him. IIRC, it was ~$20. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the video for anyone interested in watching it : I mean heres the thing, if the 2600+ and 7800+ on their own are like... $130... I do not want to ask what an FPGA one would cost, and in that situation, i'd rather it be completely all in one or for something like the Jaguar. I'm just glad this even exists period, who cares? I grew up with worse atari emulation... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday we'll get an XE+ Gun from sinden or something... Although i love alien brigade with the pad. And i just wanna see what ESRB rating it would get... blood!!!!! But genuinely i dont think i've seen a more violent 8 bit game ever, fits with the Action Horror vibe... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sega Master System Light Phasers are available all day long on eBay for cheap. The adapter circuit necessary to make one Atari-compatible is absurdly simple. AtariAge ought to have Ed (from Edladdin) or someone else whip up an adapter widget to sell. I made one myself a few years ago that works great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Knight Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I use the Atari XE Light Gun as I bought an Atari XE earlier this year. It works okay. As much as I like my Proline Joystick and 7800 Gamepad (bought years ago from B&C Computervisions at Classic Gaming Expo 2000), I'd like an arcade style joystick controller for my 7800. Any recommendations that won't break the bank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need one more light gun for the upcoming 4-player game, Ducks Away. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna lie, if I could find Atari boxers I'd probably rock them.

Mayhem Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I’m intrigued by the Best light gun because I used pretty much all the others and none were imo particularly accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
