Asteroids Deluxe 7800

I love that Atari is producing new carts for their + systems. I have an actual 7800 and this works perfectly and fits perfectly. I really like the card sleeve that the game cartridge fits into for protection and display without the outer box. It was a nice touch.

It’s worth it. I just spent a few hours on my PS5 and didn’t have any more fun on the big cumbersome Modern splashy titles than I did on this version of a classic 1979 game. There is something to be said for just popping in a cartridge, playing for ten minutes, feeling like you had done fun and then turning it off.

Great game for a great prive

The game is fun, and very challenging.

Was the cartrige bad or is it not compatible with my Atari 2600+

Fairly intense version of the classic game. One of the few video games that I really wish i had the original cabinet game of. I mean nothing beats looking at the old CRT version and booming speakers. This sort of put me in the old arcade / 2600 vibe. Lots of rocks to shoot and a twist on the classic UFO appearances. Will def keep you on your toes as you play. Really wish they had used a "hyperspace" ship button instead of the shield. But I'll take when I can get.

The game is a fairly accurate re-creation of the arcade game, as much as one can accomplish on an Atari console. I had to remove a couple stars, however, as the game claims to be compatible with the Atari 2600+ system, and it isn't. Though it claims to work with a single-button joystick, the instructions for activating the shields (or hyperspace, depending on which version of the game you're playing) say to pull down on the joystick, but nothing happens. It may work when playing on the 7800+ system, but not on the 2600+ system. What's more, Atari refuses to recognize this fact, and pretends it's a problem with my console. Not even the latest firmware fixed the problem. In the end, I had to buy a two-button joystick to make the game work. Which ultimately cost me lots of extra money. (First tried the Atari GamePad controllers, which are terrible.) With the new two-button joystick, the game is fun to play.

Excellent
