Have you played/seen the 2600 version of Boulder Dash 2? It truly has to be seen to be believed. You'd think it was on any system other than the 2600 if you didn't know better.
My first console was a 2600 BUT my grandma got me a 7800 for her house. She ended up playing it all the time. Then when I got my Genesis I gave her my nes. She LOVED toobin’. Good times.
Food Fight might have me sold to get the 2600+. I used to play it in the arcade also. My personal record was level 64 (orange sherbet & pistachio ice cream), at a point where the levels are over in a second or two because the characters move way too fast.
That CX78+ control pad is a remake of the old Euro 7800 CX78 controller. It looks like they've used the same molds, or made it a1:1 remake. That's actually kind of unfortunate. If you like using your thumb on both buttons, rocking it onto both as you play, you'll be disappointed here. Unless you have Andre the Giant thumbs, you won't be doing that here. I used to buy the CX78 in bulk and sell them on eBay, many years ago. They were only a few bucks each, NOS, back then!
Yeah, I was hoping they would go a little further with the new revision, and make the buttons closer. Still decent if games are designed with that in mind.
The new CX78 controllers actually have a much longer cable compared to the original CX78 gamepad. I have both a new 2024 one and an original. And the new controllers are 55cm (21 inches) longer in cable length
It's kinda sad to see that retro games companies are taking the lead, By making physical games in 2024, UnlIKE AAA games companies, Which only release digital only and wipe them when they feel like it lol 🤨
I think it's great that retro still has that power and access to be able to continue being manufactured as well as improved over time. I've never been a fan of Atari and I have to admit it's before my time but when I heard of the 2600+ I thought it was such a great idea. I want one not just for collectors' sake but to check it out and enjoy games. I'm glad retro is still up and kicking cause Triple A just isn't cutting it anymore for me.
@@rubenmejia4881 Exectly, Retro will never die, And the fact it just has gotten more and more popular over the years, Is just really good to hear and see, So people of modern generations can experience the classic games that made modern gaming what it is today 🥰
@@damiangrabowski2104 But they shouldn't be, It's one pushing for digital for just that kinds thing, And the other for both or physical only, Still it is what it is i guess, Which just forces us to get cracks and back them up on ext hdd's to preserve them.
The sad thing with the 7800 is that it suffered the same curse as the 5200 … the controllers were terrible. The Proline joystick was probably the worst controller ever sold with a game console, and the CX78 pad is the worst “name brand” gamepad I’ve ever used. Sure, it was better than the Proline, but it had terrible buttons and was unresponsive compared to any of its competition. Back in the day I rewired a Wico Command Control stick to a Proline board and cord to use with my 7800. Fun fact if you have an Atari 2600+: if you’re still using the original firmware that shipped with the device, the 7800 buttons are reversed in all 7800 games that use both buttons. A side effect of that bug was that some 7800 games that were actually playable with one button (like Pole Position and Asteroids) didn’t work properly. Apparently, nobody at Atari had a 7800 back in the day either … to let that one slip into production units.
It depends, still have many games i loved as a little kid, and still love. But you are right, its „difficult“, but also full of memorys… But i also loved ET (the game) ;)
There are a few I can still come back to, most paddle games tend to fit this as few games of there type ever can scratch that itch quite right and I still love Warlords to death (though I would rather go with the arcade version of it). Then there's Yar's Revenge, Montezuma's Revenge, Pitfall and a few others, but the main thing is they work in short bursts more then anything drawn out.

Have you played/seen the 2600 version of Boulder Dash 2?
It truly has to be seen to be believed.
You'd think it was on any system other than the 2600 if you didn't know better.
I wish Atari would finally release the Atari cosmos and I'm not alone
it would be so cool if Atari released the Atari cosmos in some form I would buy multiple Atari cosmos consoles if that happened
My first console was a 2600 BUT my grandma got me a 7800 for her house. She ended up playing it all the time. Then when I got my Genesis I gave her my nes. She LOVED toobin’. Good times.
The lack of manuals was my only gripe about their previous re-releases. Glad these include them.
Including a manual is absolutely the way to go. Also 3 solid titles. Total win for Atari I kinda want to pick up that system now
Food Fight might have me sold to get the 2600+. I used to play it in the arcade also. My personal record was level 64 (orange sherbet & pistachio ice cream), at a point where the levels are over in a second or two because the characters move way too fast.
I used to think "mad" little pixel meant angry but now I'm watching you cut that box towards your hand, I guess you meant "mad" like crazy.
Yeah that gave me anxiety
@@BeastCake1349he’s a mad lad 😂
Lmao 🤣
Next video he's got 7 plasters / bandaids on his face 😂
I got that CX78+ Controller for my Real Commodore 64. Works Nice.
Been eyeing the 2600+ for a while and with this controller its hard not to want this, super excited to try them out when I can.
Nice! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if they are going to release a 7800 re-shell of the 2600+. I would be up for that.
Best Version of Food Fight. Not as slippery as the arcade.
That CX78+ control pad is a remake of the old Euro 7800 CX78 controller. It looks like they've used the same molds, or made it a1:1 remake. That's actually kind of unfortunate.

I like the slipcovers in the carts.
The new CX78 controllers actually have a much longer cable compared to the original CX78 gamepad. I have both a new 2024 one and an original. And the new controllers are 55cm (21 inches) longer in cable length
You can actually hot swap the carts on the 2600+ without the need to turning it off to swap carts

@@onlypvpcaterina-6669 Agreed!
Retro customers are a different type, so there is no point in comparing the gaming market

I received these yesterday. I'm very happy with the quality and price point of these re-issues.
Fatal run has just the coolest box art ever
The Retro Game Boyz Nes pad conversions are better than the CX-78's. Cool that they finally released them stateside though.
Yes
The original manuals were black & white, these are colored which is better than the original.
I like when he checked the fatal run manual. .. and then SON OF A ..... JAJAJAJAJAJ COMPLETE THE SENTENCE
I just got mine this week, only got the controller and ninja golf. But think I'll end up getting them all, looks good
Food Fight looks pretty fun

I like how you can't help but turn the system off even though you can got swap on the 2600+
I'm pretty sure the original food fight manual had illustrations.
What’s going on with the shrink wrap?
I would like to get food fight for sure.
All of this excites me, but I'm not an Atari die hard. I like this though.
I just grabbed that controller but I play it on my original system !! I play the real stuff I can’t grab these new games
Honestly I would just keep the little joystick attachment in the box with the controller and never use it
I grew up with the 2600 too, but it's hard to go back. Just not fun anymore. But I can play NES all day.
Me too!🤔
I had the Master System. Way better graphics and sound. Just recently sold my entire NES collection. No nostalgia for it anymore.
It depends, still have many games i loved as a little kid, and still love. But you are right, its „difficult“, but also full of memorys… But i also loved ET (the game) ;)
The 2600 has a small handful of games that are still fun today.
There are a few I can still come back to, most paddle games tend to fit this as few games of there type ever can scratch that itch quite right and I still love Warlords to death (though I would rather go with the arcade version of it). Then there's Yar's Revenge, Montezuma's Revenge, Pitfall and a few others, but the main thing is they work in short bursts more then anything drawn out.
Can one use the pad on the Atari 400 mini?
No. The 400 Mini uses USB connectors on the controller ports and the 2600+ uses an older DB9 connector.
5:58 this one feels a little thicker 👀
Groove man 😅
Looks good
Ninja golf immediately out of stock. :/
That controller was garbage back in the day, why are they bringing it back?
Just buy atari 50 and call it a day
ChatGPT could program an entire 7600 video game thats better than 95% of the library
Werd!
Cx78 not impressed
