A Look At Some Of The Rare 1984 Packaging
nosweargamer replied to nosweargamer's topic in Atari 7800
Actually, that box, the 7800, has a purple stripe. Some people figured it out like this: 2600: Red stripe 5200: Blue stripe 7800 = 2600 + 5200 = Red + Blue = Purple stripe -
As some of you know, Atari had a small test market launch of the 7800 in southern California in 1984 right before Warner sold Atari. After the sale, the 7800 was locked away until 1986. However did you know that the 1984 games had different boxes, manuals and cartridge labels than the post sale releases? I take a look at a very small sample I have of '84 items in the following video:

Wow! Carrie Fisher's mom, Debbie Reynolds, just passed away too! How sad for the family

Very sad. Another great actress gone.

I remember her voice from the animated version of "Charlotte's Web" (which I haven't watched since the live-action version came out, but I remember really enjoying it as a kid).
-
I loved hearing her sing with Gene Kelly in Singin' In The Rain.

Ep 297: The pretty rare Glib

Yes it does, although no 7800 game took advantage of it. Actually, as far as I know, there is no 2600 controller that won't on a 7800. What they would've done with ROF is probably what they did with flight simulators: use the system switches including difficulty switches as part of the control scheme. In my dream world any 2600 or 7800 game that used system switches would map the same functions to the Touchpad as well if the user had one. In my dream dream world, those games would also come with overlays! One of the biggest complaints I have heard about flight sims is using system switches. Using the Touchpad would have really helped in this area.

This one is amazing: Godzilla is Coming to Town from 2005

Hate to break it to you, but Joel made Batman Forever too But at least the Batmobile was cool. And I think it was the first movie I saw with the great Tommy Lee Jones in it. Nice! I almost bought a set of mini controller ornaments from Think Geek one year when they were on sale, but they sold out before I could buy them.

Glad you like Xenophobe! It was one of my favs on the system growing up!

Just wanted to mention that I learned something new about the grey button vs black button controllers! Thanks!
