    Sorry for the noob question... do XM enhanced games require additional hardware like the XM module that's in development? Or, is the capability carried in the cartridge? Reading here and other threads, I couldn't figure it out.

    I second the controllers by http://retrogameboyz.com. I ordered this one a couple of weeks ago. It feels good and controls very well. I was a bit concerned originally about how it would feel in my hand. I found it comfortable to hold in my hand while playing games. It also has rubber feet so you can set it down for table top play as well. Buttons also light up when the 7800 is powered on.

     

    Yesterday, I ordered another one in a different color and also ordered the Robotron game pad. Mike is easy to work with and he offers 30 days return.

    @Dionoid I appreciate you updating this thread. Because of your confirmation, I didn’t hesitate to order an Encore last week for my 7800 when I first learned about the Harmony cartridge. 
     

    And I just learned that you’re the developer of Amoeba Jump — you are the bestest

    Order placed for an Encore -- thanks for the sale, @batari.

     

    I just got a 7800, and plugged in my first 2600 cartridge into an Atari console for the first time in almost 40 years. I look forward to revisiting the 2600 library.

    I'm excited to have joined the 7800 club. I picked up one off of eBay that has the UAV mod and was recapped. It was very exciting yesterday when I plugged in an Atari game cartridge for the first time since the early 80s. I never owned a 7800 and look forward to playing 2600 and 7800 games that I've been collecting the past year.

    Hi, Al. I ordered a bunch of games last Friday but forgot to specify the free game. I don't care which of the two I receive but is it too late to include one? My order shows as Pending.

     

    Edit -- and since we're sharing, I ordered:

    • Halo 2600
    • Space Rocks
    • Star Castle
    • Draconian
    • Scramble
    • Dungeon
    • Mappy
    • Super Cobra

     

    Looking at the recommendations in this thread, I'll need to pick up a few more in the future.

    I bought a Dreamcast console bundle. Everything was as described and packed well. Bruce was nice enough to give me a huge stack of burned discs -- being a brand new DC owner, my library just grew in an instant from 0 to a lot (haven't counted yet but looks like a 100).

    The first time I went to PRGE was 2017 for the 40th anniversary of the VCS. I had never heard of AtariAge and I had only gotten into retro gaming that summer. When I first saw the AA booth and the Atari 800 (my very first personal computer) up and running, my eyes nearly welled up with tears as I was suddenly flooded with memories forgotten. I am attending this year and the first thing I'll be doing Saturday morning is to visit the AA booth. Looking forward to it!
