- Ω - Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 This seems like a good price on an Atari 800XL (if not for the shipping price) that supposedly has never been used. << HERE >> I'm curious, do they also have a Super Cartridge for this computer? If so, without the shipping price could have been a great deal. DegasElite 1 Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 What do you mean by "Super Cartridge"? If you mean something that can load images off SD card, there are many choices, and all pretty inexpensive. DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been into the Atari's computer consoles so know nothing about them. I'm guessing the game selection is not much different than my 5200 though.

RickR Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Ah, good! I would say the game selection is MUCH bigger than the 5200. There are thousands of disk-based games that will blow the mind. Pretty much the entire EA library, for example. Or Datasoft. War games, adventure games, sports games...so much to explore on the Atari 8-bit. As far as solutions for multi-carts, I suggest starting with the simple "UnoCart". It's cheap and loads cartridge/tape/disk images. I think I wrote a review in my blog here. DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarigeezer Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 FYI The atari 8bit computers Run all the 5200 games , they change the controller is all. and all the 5200 only games have been done for decades. Multi Cart, there is many to chose from, Uno cart, MyIDE2 , AtariMax 8meg carts (reprogramable) SD max ect... My first was a 400 in 79 and xmas 1980 I bought the 800 for the keyboard. I still Today have my 800. Bought the TI99/4A when they had the rebate, I wanted to check out the voice Syn. which was free with buy 3 games.

Atarigeezer Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Also there is FujiNet, plugs into the SIO port, Like the TIPI only faster and no PIE needed about the size of a cartridge.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Also look up SIO2USB and SIO2SD. Those are devices you can use with the SIO port. It’s amazing what these Atari computers can do these days. Very flexible systems. - Ω - and DegasElite 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
