Atari Is Releasing A Modernized 7800+ Console That Plays Cartridges This Holiday

As a seasoned gamer with a heart full of nostalgia, the news about Atari releasing yet another classic console replica has left me absolutely thrilled! I remember spending countless hours on my Atari 7800 back in the day, and now they’re bringing it back with the Atari 7800+. The price tag of $130 is reasonable, especially considering the wireless CX78+ gamepad and a copy of Bentley Bear’s Crystal Quest that comes along with it.


As a longtime gamer with fond memories of playing Atari games during my childhood, I am thrilled to hear that they are releasing another cartridge-based replica of one of their classic home consoles – this time, it’s the Atari 7800+. Last holiday season, I was fortunate enough to add the Atari 2600+ to my collection, and now I am eagerly anticipating getting my hands on the 7800+ this upcoming holiday.

To clarify, the Atari 7800+ came out following the 2023 launch of the Atari 2600+. It’s worth noting that the 2600+ is capable of playing 7800+ games as well. Therefore, if you already have the 2600+, there’s no necessity for you to buy the 7800+. You can easily find the Atari 2600+ on Amazon priced at $130.

Atari 7800+ and 2600+ Games at Amazon

Here’s a look at some of the Atari carts Amazon currently has in stock.

  • Berzerk — $30
  • Mr. Run and Jump — $30
  • Fatal Run 7800 — $30
  • Food Fight 7800 — $30
  • Ninja Golf — $30

Apart from the Atari 2600+ and Atari 7800+, you can also get hold of the “The 400 Mini” priced at $112.79 (originally $120). Unlike the latter two, which are designed for cartridge play, this console focuses on emulation. If you’re interested in a unique approach to revisiting your beloved classic games, this could be an interesting choice. The “The 400 Mini” was launched earlier this year.
