Just a quick update that there are 20 copies remaining. Thanks to all who ordered so far!

Here's my update.
I don't have lots of time to test today, however I have tested 2600 Asteroids and it works as expected with the CX40+ and with the Starplex controller. I tested 7800 Asteroids and it works with my OG CX-24 and OG CX-78, however it does not work correctly with the Starplex controller.☹️ The Fire button on the Starplex triggers warp/hyperspace and the hyperspace button does nothing when pressed. As I stated, 2600 Asteroids works as expected with the Starplex, so I'm guessing that the 7800 Asteroids/Starplex controller behavior issue, may have to due with the 7800 emulation. Can anyone else test 7800 Asteroids with a Starplex, just to re-confirm my finding?
I also tested the folling:
- 10 in 1 Cart. Played Missile Command, Video Pinball and Yars'
- 4 in 1 Paddle games. Played Breakout. I like the paddles. I'm looking forward to testing them on one of my 2600s or 7800's.
- Berzerk Enhanced.
    Pro - Robots ability to shoot diagnally.
    Con - Speech. I know, it pains me to call the Speech a con, but the volume is pretty low and hard to make out. The rest of the SFX are fine and quite audible.
- Space Invaders with CX-40+ and Starplex and the game plays as expected.
By the way, each of these carts worked on the first try, each time I loaded them. So far I'm treating the 2600+ like a 2600 (e.g., turning off the unit, and replacing carts). I probably won't hot swap, unless I use my 7800 Dragon Fly multicart. 
That all for now. So far I'm liking the unit and looking forward to the firmware update.🙂

Absolutely.
 
I can’t say Desert Falcon is for everybody but it’s far more interesting to play on the Atari 7800 than the 2600. It’s an isometric shooter like Zaxxon with an Egyptian theme featuring Sphinxes, Pyramids, hieroglyphs, jewels, etc. For sure part of a good 7800 collection.
 
Ballblazer is cool! I wasn’t able to find Ballblazer until 1995 just before I got the first PlayStation. It may sound silly today, but at the time I was totally blown away by how good a 10 year old Atari 7800 game looked and played. With its pseudo polygons and Super Nintendo Mode 7-like gameplay, I thought it was incredible.
 
These are huge reasons to even get an Atari 7800. That’s the point. When it was set for release in 1984 it was like the Neo-Geo of its time, an arcade machine for the home.
 
Absolutely! Check out our Swapmeet page which aggregates the latest of what’s for sale and trade in the forums. There’s been a ton of good stuff recently from other members and vendors. It’s a good place to start your journey into the world of Atari 7800.
As you build your collection you can share it with us in our Recent Pickups thread!

The Atari 7800 is my all-time favorite video game system so I have to be up front about my bias here. It’s an underrated system that’s only gained some of the recognition it deserves in recent years.
If you’re just starting out with the 7800, you can’t go wrong with the first dozen games released for the system. They’re mostly arcade games that in my opinion are largely well done and enjoyable to play:
Centipede Asteroids Dig Dug Food Fight Galaga Joust Ms. Pac-Man  Pole Position II Robotron:2084 Xevious Desert Falcon Ballblazer

I would love to see a return. Maybe a 30th Anniversary episode @btbfilms76?

Will we ever see Jag Bar again?

Well, I purchased a lot of 7800 games that includes Joust, Dig Dug, Asteroids and Centipede. 
 

Members trade games with each other in the forums all the time 🙂

I have some duplicate loose 7800 games, including Dig Dug and Centipede. I'll take a look and put something up in the Trading post.

I'll try to check my dups box later today, but I don't recall having any 7800 extras.  I *do* have some extra 7800 game manuals if anyone would be interested in those.  Free for the cost of shipping or some kind of trade for atari.io friends. 
 

I would say that about a few 7800 games vs NES but many would disagree.
There was a reason why when presented with the Famicom (Japanese NES) in 1983 many Atari engineers saw the MARIA (7800) as being more advanced. Other issues were at okay in that decision as well, but when properly programmed and not penny-pinched to death in RAM and sound, Atari 7800 can be tremendously capable. 

Mail call — a little bit of love spread across multiple Atari systems.
A few years ago, I bought the Jaguar in order to participate in the I/O’s high score challenge game Cybermorph. It is where I started my Jaguar experience (sadly, it’s still the only game that I’ve played on the Jag console). Despite the memes and mocks that came my way 😂 I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game so much so that I wanted a boxed copy.
I also picked up sealed copy of Spectrum Holobyte’s Falcon. I remember what a big deal it was for the Atari ST when Spectrum Holobyte decided to release the sim for the ST. I didn’t realize there was an expansion. I hate buying sealed games, but the price was too good, so I’m happy to have it in my collection.
I also got couple of Scott Dayton’s recent releases that he made available at Floria Free Play.

I got some new “add-ons”

Found this stand in our dumpster so I thought I might could make use of it.

And lastly my game room got an area rug.

I thought you were posting pills until I looked at this again 

The second game in the 2600+ Casual series is Ms. Pac-Man.  The wizards at GCC did an amazing job with this port.  I was too young to know that Tod Frye's Pac-Man was bad - I played the heck out of it - but even my six-year old self knew this was an improvement. 
 

Oh, when Ms. Pac-Man was released on the 2600, I never played the original Pac-Man!  It's too much of an improvement!

Peeked down the hallway and noticed it was snowing, I think just barely enough to snow but it's very light and likely will melt away by tomorrow but it looks nice.

UPDATE: My issue arrived within the past 30 minutes! How it got through LA traffic so quickly...we may never know lol. The magazine was shipped in a sturdy envelope. I will show it off during this Wednesday's show!
 

Fantastic! Glad that you received it so quickly @Marco1019! It's a testament to the fine folks at USPS. 🤣

this lot has SOLD! thanks for your order!
