Hi, Thomas. That's correct. The Atari 5200 was mostly just a repackaged Atari 400/800 home computer and the Atari 7800 was derived with it and maintained backward compatibility with the Atari 2600 cartridges (this is why it was called the Atari 7800 because 5200 plus 2600 equals 7800). The 2600 always had crappy graphics and sound.

That's interesting. I must have missed the original Montezuma's Revenge for the Atari when back in the day when I was the Atari king. grin. It is pretty much true that Atari repackaged there computers with different controllers, but if memory serves me the 7800 games had slightly better color and graphics over the 2600. I know some of the early 2600 games like demon attack, combat, etc had terrible color and graphics. All the games I had purchased for the 7800 were in color, and the graphics were better. Anyway, I think as far as games goes most of the original game ideas have been used at least once. Allot of games I find the on net are clones, or modified rehashes of some other title. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo!
