What should I get: Atari 7800, Intellivision or Colecovision

Post by BitFaced »

Since all 3 have Atari 2600 backwards compatibility and I'd like to have a physical Atari 2600 system, which out of the three would be the best to get? The 'Vision consoles are both Atari 2600 era or simpleness and Atari 7800 had better graphics but wasn't too popular, or had that much 3rd party support.
N64/NES/FC/SNES/SFC/GB (SGB)/GBC (Black)(SGB)/FDS/Satellaview/Genesis/Mega Drive/Master System & maybe N64DD/GBC/GBA.

I say ColecoVision. Ladybug and Donkey Kong are tons of fun on it.

I would go with Colecovision myself. I once owned a full collection of 7800 carts. I think the games on the Coleco are more fun.

I'm going for this myself. You don't still have some of these kicking around, do you?

I asked the same question here. I went with the 7800. Honestly, I think some of the CV games look better, but definitely do the 7800 because later you can get the CVII (start from this post).

Well considering the feedback and the same line of consoles, I might get the 7800. Not to mention it's more advanced than the other two.
