Whaoooo !

In the last 6 days, I've received 42 VCS 2600 game cartridges and 1 Atari 7800 console (SECAM SCART Model).

 

Maybe, some of the fellows here are familiar with such events, but it's the first time for me I receive so much Atari stuff in so few time !

 

If someone have told me when I was a child that one day I'll get 42 games in a week, I'd said he was crazy. lol

Cool! How's the picture on the 7800? Is it a lot better than the 2600?

 

If you happen to run into another one, let me know. I'd love to get ahold of one of them.

Mitch,

The image of the 7800 is quite neat, without any echo of the graphic elements.

 

But the colors are less shiny as the 2600.

 

Most of the 2600 carts have tried are working very well with the original colors

(The secam VCS has only a 8 colors palette).

 

Strange thing : the Space Invaders colors are so dark it's almost impossible to play.

I noticed this effect only with 2-3 games among 50 tested cartridges.

 

Good surprise : Some NTSC carts were only displayed in B&W using my VCS 2600.... Now they are in colors with the 7800

How much do you want to spend ?

 

These 7800 models are expensive in France : I paid mine $36.

 

And we've got to add the shipping price to the U.S. too.

That's fine, if you find one send me an email and we can work something out.

 

I'm glad that it works well for you on the 2600 games. Have you tried playing with the brightness on the games that are too dark?

That's great to here someone getting so many Atari items in just one week. I myself am getting about 4 to 6 games a week every week. Right now I think I have about half of all the Atari 2600 games, and a lot of them are still sealed.
