Dan Iacovelli Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 found out all I needed was a new power supply for my 7800 just the one I ordered from ebay yesterday tried it out and now I have a working 7800 (forgot how hard it is to take carts out of them) actually I have 2 working 7800's now my original that I might have fried and my second one I got from some one on AA. I'm prob going to sell one at swap meet at galloping ghost when they decide to have no power no cables. not selling my 2600 thats put aside for now.(tested the power supply on both,both powered on then did the cart test and both booted) now I need to find the games I lost at VGS(that got swiped) and if and when the centro 7800 cart(harmony for 7800) I can get it.

StormSurge Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Wait a minute, you were at a video game conference & some clown stole your games? Seriously?? I'm glad you're up & running. If I had any 7800 stuff, I'd gladly hook you up. That's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowsdower70 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Eventually I might add a 7800 to my personal collection. For now it doesn't have enough fantasy titles for me to collect for it just yet.

nosweargamer Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sounds like everyone is digging out their Atari 7800's!

louisg Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Wow, sorry to hear about your games being swiped. That sucks. Rowsdower70, you should totally get one if you like atari arcade games at all While there aren't as many great games as on the 2600, there are some that make it worthwhile for sure. Especially if you don't already have a way of playing Ballblazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenween Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I love my 7800! Put the 2600 away and just use it now. Great system!! "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisg Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I love my 7800! Put the 2600 away and just use it now. Great system!! I did that for a while, but it has trouble with some cart shapes. I have no idea what's supposed to fit into the 7800's cart slot. It's almost too tight for Atari-brand games and you have to really force the Activision/Imagic ones! I wonder if this varies by year or something for the 7800.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I love my 7800! Put the 2600 away and just use it now. Great system!! No No NO! How could you put away a 2600?!? That's insane! All joking aside I use the 2600 for playing 2600 games even when the 7800 is backwards compatible. The snug fit of the 7800's cartridge port alone worries me sometimes as it is. No...for me, I stick with the 2600 when it comes to playing 2600 games. It sucks that your games got swiped. Hopefully you can track down those games again. Now I have to drag out my 7800 because after reading everyone else dragging theirs out I suddenly feel the need for some Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, and Choplifter.
