Kane99 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Has anyone heard of this? It's a new Atari console, that seems to re-create the 7800, but updated for modern times. As well, they are releasing a new game with it called Bentley Bear’s Crystal Quest, which is a sequel to the 7800 game Crystal Castles. I don't know who wants this, and I can't imagine it's going to sell very well compared to other retro style consoles. The new console will connect via HDMI, have USB C connections, and will play 2600 and 7800 games. If interested in picking up this, it'll set you back $129.99. It's currently available for pre-order, and will ship in winter of 2024. So right in time for the holidays!

killamch89 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It's interesting to see Atari trying to revive the 7800, but I agree with you. It seems like a niche product. While it's cool that it supports 2600 and 7800 games, I think most people who are into retro gaming might prefer to use emulators or original hardware. Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest sounds like a nice touch for fans of the original, but at $129.99, it's a tough sell for what it offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Button Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 The 7800+ still needs a very strong library and some exclusive titles to justify its price. Although, Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest is actually a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
