How much would all this be worth?

[ApolloBoy]

OK, I'm trying to get a 7800, so how much would a loose 7800, 2 Pro-Line joysticks, power supply, and a Pole Position II cart be worth?

[CPUWIZ]

I'd say $40.00 to $60.00 depending on condition, unless you get lucky and find a cheap BIN on eBay.

Well, I'm looking for one in an OK condition, not mint or bad condition.

It seems 7800's are harder to come by these days!!

[tyranthraxus]

For $35-50 you should be able to get a 7800 with a handful of

7800 and 2600 games and a few joysticks. 7800 lots tend to

be pretty interesting because the system was sold at a low

point in Atari and with the backwards compatibility a lot of

owners seemed to have snatched up large 2600 collections.

 

I have a 7800 with one joystick and 5 games including PP2 that

I am about to sell. If the buyer backs down I'll post here.

Alright, now here's what I want:

 

Atari 7800 console in OK condition (no cracks, loose)

2 Pro-Line joysticks

power supply

Pole Position 2

Asteroids (7800)

Galaga

Ballblazer

 

I don't want a switchbox. I can easily get one at Radio Shack, or I can use a female RCA to male RF adapter.

You can get the games you are looking for NIB through Ebay for about $5 each.

 

The pro-line controllers really stink. You're better off using 2600 controllers or looking around for this:

Well, I've never tried them before, so I want to give the Pro-Lines a chance before I get joypads.

Hello...

[tom6789]

Its been years since I have had Atari ProLine joysticks, but if I remember correctly - they wern't bad.

 

Atari Joypads, however; SUCK BIG BOOTY . I thought that would be the bomb, and purchased a set off of eBay. My bad. They are very cheap feeling; like their going to break any second; the fire buttons are not real responsive and the whole things just a bit awkward.

 

I'm keeping them, just for my collections sake - but when it comes to classic gaming on Commodores or Ataris, WICO BOSS or WICO COMMANDER is the ONLY stick to use - period.

 

Just my 2 cents.

Hmm... Are there any alternatives to the 7800 pads? Perhaps the NES ones could be converted or... (excited glee) maybe the SMS ones uses the same connector?

The SMS pads do have a 9-pin connector, but they won't work on the 7800. Here are the pinouts...

 

SMS

Pin 1-Up

Pin 2-Down

Pin 3-Left

Pin 4-Right

Pin 5-+5V

Pin 6-Button 1

Pin 7-Not used

Pin 8-Ground

Pin 9-Button 2

 

A7800

Pin 1-Up

Pin 2-Down

Pin 3-Left

Pin 4-Right

Pin 5-Right Button

Pin 6-Both buttons

Pin 7-Not used

Pin 8-Ground

Pin 9-Left Button

 

The SMS controllers will work on the 2600 or the 7800 in 2600 mode.

Sounds like a converter gizmo is in order.

I thought sega genesis pads were compatible with atari joysticks?
