Congrats on the 7800 KayJay! I love my 7800. So cool to be able to play 2600 games but also pick up those classy silver-stickered 7800 games as well! There's some really fun games to be had on there!

Thanks man! :D I need to order the power cable off of Ebay, but after that, it should be good to go! :)

I actually miss my Atari 7800. Its crazy but for a state of mind even though I own a lot of the arcade games on namco or midway arcade classics on ps2, I somehow feel it just feels better playing ms pac man on an Atari system.
Atari and classic arcade games go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly

True that! I could play Dig Dug emulated perfectly on my computer, but can't resist playing it on my 7800 instead!

I do still need to get one of the European controllers though. The hand cramps can be real.

The power cable on that thing is going to set you back a peg. It's unique only to the 7800. I have the same issue with the one I found. It did come with one but part of it is broken off. I just naturally assumed mine was broken because the rf shielding is all rusted out and gross and my power button won't push down.. Good luck on getting yours to work!

I have most of the 7800 games. The Arcade ports have a unique exclusive to the 7800; simultaneous two player mode on the screen at the same time, very cool. Asteroids with the two player mode can be played as the classic Vector Arcade Spacewar! A good game to discover is Ball Blazer, though I like it better on the 5200 for the analog stick float controls.

Definitely get the correct power adapter if can be found shipped for just twenty bucks. If not, you can always add a standard two wire pinned 9 volt DC power port.

Many 7800 games only need one fire button which allows use of a 2600 stick or even a Genesis gamepad, though only one fire button support.

Buy it from user Jmustang1968. $5 plus shipping. Can't be that bad.
