I'm definitely one of those people who did not grow up with the 2600 or any Atari system. It was just before my time unfortunately. This does seem something interesting enough for me to give it a try.
Great video Gary! I received my 2600+ on 12/30. I absolutely love it! I have a shoebox full of old 2600 games from 81-84, and they all work!! Thank you Atari!! I would like to see Hyperkin make a two button Ranger controller to play 7800 games. Happy New Year!
I was born in 88 but I like the simplicity of the games of the 2nd gen. Have an atari flashback but definitely have been wanting the actual hardware. So the 2600+ is definitely something I'm interested in
Packaged nicely; man, when you opened it and just seeing that Atari unit was so satisfying. I was curious about how tightly the machine grabs the carts; stuff like that worries me. I do think it's cool that it utilizes 7800 carts as well, though no lie I'm surprised you're not more familiar with them; you're full of surprises Gary. Ha ha, Atari DK and the sound effects; it and Pac-Man are forever ingrained into my brain. Glad you tried out the Sega controller as I was legit curious about that.
Always wanted an Atari as a kid in the 90s just because of the simplicity behind it… ended up getting an old 1982 black Vader.. color started going then for Christmas got the plus.. and am currently hooked on Yars revenge with the 10 in 1… 💙 grabbed an OG copy to do a gameplay comparison
I was the same way. My ownership of gaming consoles went like this: 1981-1989 Atari 2600 1989-1993 NES 1993-1997 Sega Genesis 1997- 2001 PlayStation 2001- 2002 PlayStation 2 2002- 2006 Xbox 2006-2013 Xbox 360 2013-2017 Xbox One 2017 to present Nintendo Switch
Had a n64 growing up, nest, Ames, Sega and I loved them all but I also had a plug n' play Atari pack man game that came with dig dug and I loved it and wanted the actual Atari but never got one, I just bought the plus and I'm excited to play it!
I don't quite understand the question. Are you asking if I think that there will be an atari that sompatiible with all the cartridges? I think this one is, I'm not sure my Zaxxon is working and need to test on another machine.
The 2600+ isn't compatible with all 2600 cartridges and probably won't be ... for basically the same reasons the Retron 77 can't read some games via the cartridge slot. Now if there were some way to get games into the 2600+ OTHER than the cartridge slot, you could probably play stuff like Pitfall II on it, but not now.
@@chemicalburrito782 hum This is interesting to know. You know what I feel like the most forgotten system from atari is the atari S t Atari should try to release games From that system
Galaga novice is quite slow. The speed picks up around level 10 or 12, even on novice. The high difficulties will start at level 10. I don't know if it's "arcade fast" but it's pretty good.
Nintendo should put out a nes and snes. I’d rather have that than the minis. This seems interesting as I was thinking of doing an xegs but maybe this is the better move. I didn’t grow up with Atari though. NES was my jam. I do remember a few games like pitfall and missle command but other than that… it’s tough to play. Not really games like Kirby or Mario 3 that are still awesome to play on nes. That being said. My next pickup will prob be a turbo Grafx 16. Didn’t grow up with that either but damn I always wanted one.
Well, youd be running the risk of an already old console degrading with natural wear and tear. If you're a collector, this 2600 plus is awesome. Keep your older consoles, especially the 2600 as pristine as you can. Considering nothing lasts forever. With ease of access of connecting to an hdmi TV, (beings most people now have those in their homes), you don't have to worry about getting a co ax adapter, and spending even more money. Being able to play original cartridges is also a bonus given 2600 carts go for dirt cheap. You also don't have to worry about buying an original 2600 console and it not working properly due to its age. This thing all around is a sweet investment if you want a modernized feeling of a historic gamingmachine! Waiting for mine to show up in the mail. :)

Looks like a solid console. I love that it plays 7800 games. Especially since my 7800 is broken.

I got a nice package to show you!
I demoed the cartridge fitment, not an issue IMO
We never had a 7800, we weren't rich like the other kids.

I'm considering getting this. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for checking it out
I was the same way. My ownership of gaming consoles went like this:
1981-1989 Atari 2600

1997- 2001 PlayStation
2001- 2002 PlayStation 2

The Atari 2600 Junior was my first console. 🙂
Had a n64 growing up, nest, Ames, Sega and I loved them all but I also had a plug n' play Atari pack man game that came with dig dug and I loved it and wanted the actual Atari but never got one, I just bought the plus and I'm excited to play it!
7800 and 2600 both used the same soundchip as a cost cutting measure from what I understand. It was kind of funny to hear you say it sounded better.
I can't wait for Santa to bring me mine, yes, I stupidly asked the Mrs to get me it for Christmas rather than just pick it up for myself 🤦♂️
Do you think they’ll be in Atari? That’s compatible with all the cartridges in the future and also great video bro. Keep up the good work. 🤙
I don't quite understand the question. Are you asking if I think that there will be an atari that sompatiible with all the cartridges? I think this one is, I'm not sure my Zaxxon is working and need to test on another machine.

Oh I see that's pretty cool that this one is compatible with all the atari cartridges because i know some have compatibility issues

@provisionalhypothesis You OK? There are great things about the 2600+ and ... less great things about it. It's not wrong to discuss both.
I used to use a Master System controller on my old one, wonder of those would work?
Galaga novice is quite slow. The speed picks up around level 10 or 12, even on novice. The high difficulties will start at level 10. I don't know if it's "arcade fast" but it's pretty good.
Have you done any of the firmware updates? They are not official Atari updates so I am cautious about them. Thanks!
I have not

Will that item to clean 2600 cartridges also clean 7800 cartridges?
The cards will, I don't believe 7800 carts had the door
Any recommendations where I can buy old 7800 games ? Since they have better graphics
@@georgesargiss6730 Not really, retro game stores and conventions most likely
Why not just buy an original atari 2600?
Because the video quality is terrible
Can't play it on an hd TV.
You can but it looks terrible

does the 2600 plus have blue tooth sound capability?@@theafterhoureffect4741
