I've been playing the two Atari collections on Xbox One and having a blast with them - particularly the arcade ports.

Played some 7800 the other day with my son. For some reason I like playing the 7800 version of centipede and galaga. Both are good ports and I like how slow the ships are in galaga. Gives you more to really hit the enemies

I'm a huge fan of 7800 Centipede!

Don't forget the 2 player simultaneous games in 7800 Centipede!

Just added touchdown football to the list of 7800 games I own. Right now I'm at 26 or so

I had 2 7800 consoles act up so I emulate 2600 & 7800 like no other now :lol:

. Using a proper controller for the 7800 games is a life saver.

I think I did a quick variation of this some pages back but after more time with the library, my top 5 7800 games are probably:
Centipede
Dig Dug
Xevious
Commando
Ikari Warriors

Honorable Mention:
Pole Position II
Joust
Food Fight
Galaga
Donkey Kong
Choplifter
Ms. Pac Man
Desert Falcon

Cool Novelties:
Ninja Golf (wow...)
Double Dragon (interesting this was ported. So hard though.)
Mario Bros (fun & cool history)
Dark Chambers (7800 dungeon crawler)
Ballblazer (3D on 7800!)

Donkey Kong Jr

mas, how's that system working out for you? Have you looked into the Harmony SD cart?

That's a great deal on the 4-switch 2600!

It runs great. I also acquired the sears tele games version of the heavy sixer also. I need help though. I need to purchase a 5200. I ended up getting 12 games and the ref switch and a controller for free but no system. If anyone has a system they are willing to sell let me know
