Classic Game Room - ATARI 7800 CARTRIDGES & PACKAGING review

Classic Game Room HD reviews the Atari 7800 cartridge design and packaging for the PROSYSTEM line of Atari video games! The Atari 7800 Pro System was a masterful gaming console that was officially released in the mid 80's to an un-appreciative market. It failed to sell, even though it was awesome and played Atari 2600 game cartridges as well as Atari 7800 games. CGRHD takes a close look at these unique games from back in the day, how the cartridges were packaged in their cardboard boxes with colorful graphics. Games like Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Joust, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers and Centipede shined on the 7800. Some games had 2 tone label designs, others like Karateka and Ballblazer had full color labels. Only Classic Game Room would take the time to carefully pan over Atari games with a macro lens to show you the actual details that made these games special. If you're looking to start your Atari video game collection by acquiring a vast array of games this is a video you'll want to watch.

Hell yeah, I LOVE Centipede (and Millipede) sadly I havent really played Xevious on the Atari, I think I have a rom of it on NES though

Not the same when you're not playing it on an actual console... =\

@deadlygroove1 maybe you're right on this one.

@eklipsegirl emulation has its purpose. It's a great way to get the younger generation into classic gaming. I know tons of people in their late teens, early 20s who started collecting retro gaming consoles because of emulation and that is a good thing. :)

I can't decide what to think of you Mark, one time you are being proud of mint condition stuff, showing off some awesome collectables, and then you have your controllers in your dog's mouth... ehm... why-how-wh... ho-why...

Classic Game Room has over 300 reviews?!?! Holy shit! I'm gonna watch 'em all!

[eklipsegirl]

@seanobi777 yes, because you don't have to pay money. And the graphics are shit on emulators. And you can't attach an original controller properly: you can, but you won't have the whole control of the system you play a game on. And this is just WRONG.

[spriterlicous]

@seanobi777 Get the original controllers, and then NES to USB adpaters, and so on for all other emulators, then put on vsync and then all will be well.

@freesoftz Emulation's still no substitute for the real thing, especially on the NES. Most NES emulators (and NOACs) have tinny sound and graphical inconsistencies when compared with an actual system. Some emu developers have, however, made great efforts toward accurate NES emulation, with Nintendulator springing to mind. Accurate emulation is very important to homebrew developers who intend to put their games on actual carts, without which their games might not run at all!
