Atari Announces The Atari 7800+ Game Console — GeekTyrant
Atari and PLAION have unvieled the Atari 7800+, the official follow-up to the Atari 2600+ and the latest addition to the Atari+ platform.
New console comes with wireless controllers, and the games expand the Atari+ Platform and are backward compatible with the game released in the past, which is pretty rad.
The Atari 7800+ is described as “a faithful recreation of the Atari home console originally released in 1986.” It’s a “scaled-down, compact edition of the console that seamlessly integrates into modern living spaces.
“Equipped with HDMI connectivity, it effortlessly links to contemporary TVs and devices. Each console ships with the CX78+ Wireless Gamepad and a brand new title, Bentley Bear’s Crystal Quest — a sequel to the classic Crystal Castles, presented on a specially designed 7800 cartridge.”
Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari said in a statement: “Expanding the Atari+ platform with new games, new wireless controllers, and the 7800+ console is a perfect follow-up to last year’s successful launch of the Atari 2600+.”
Console Features include:
Plays both Atari 2600 and 7800 game cartridges
Near-perfect compatibility with original and third-party Atari games
Includes the new Wireless CX78+ Gamepad
Widescreen or 4:3 window size
USB-C charging cable (power adapter not included)
Scheduled for a global release in winter 2024, the Atari 7800+ is now available for pre-order at $129.99.
