Full description
Atari 7800+: the 1986 console, connected over HDMI
The Atari 7800+ is the official re-release of the Atari 7800, at 80% of its original size. It plays 7800 and 2600 cartridges, original and third-party alike, and displays them over HDMI, in 4:3 or 16:9. In the box: the CX78+ wireless controller, a recreation of the two-button pad sold with the 7800 in Europe, and the brand-new cartridge Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest, a sequel to Crystal Castles.
What it does
- Plays 7800 and 2600 cartridges: original and third-party, as well as the new Atari cartridges.
- CX78+ wireless controller included: D-pad topped with a small removable stick, two buttons, battery rechargeable via USB-C.
- Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest cartridge: a brand-new 7800 game, sequel to Crystal Castles.
- HDMI output: cable included, choice of 4:3 or 16:9 display.
- DB9 controller ports: original Atari joysticks and CX40+ joysticks plug straight in.
What it doesn't do
- It is not an original vintage console: cartridges are run through emulation (ProSystem for the 7800, Stella for the 2600), and not all 2600 cartridges are compatible.
- The USB power adapter is not included, only the USB-C cable.
- Only one controller included: two-player games require a second controller or a joystick, sold separately.
- No USB port: you cannot plug in an off-the-shelf USB controller.
- No mid-game saves or rewind: you play just like in 1986.
- The CX78+ controller has no Pause or Reset buttons: they are on the console.

The 7800 and the 2600 in a single console
The Atari 7800 had one special feature: it also played 2600 cartridges. The 7800+ keeps this dual compatibility and adds HDMI output, in 4:3 or 16:9. Original 7800 and 2600 cartridges, third-party ones included, find their way back onto a modern TV, alongside the new cartridges released by Atari.
The European '80s pad, minus the cable
In Europe, the 7800 was sold with a two-button pad rather than a joystick. The CX78+ recreates it in a wireless version: D-pad topped with a small removable stick, two buttons, battery rechargeable via USB-C. Its adapter plugs into the DB9 port, the same port used by original Atari joysticks.
A new game in the box
The 7800+ doesn't arrive empty-handed: it comes with Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest, a brand-new 7800 cartridge that continues Crystal Castles. Beyond that, the console runs on cartridges, vintage or recent. It works through emulation, with no mid-game saves or rewind: you play just like in 1986.

Frequently Asked Questions
🕹️ Do my 2600 cartridges work too?
Yes, most of them: the 7800+ plays 7800 and 2600 cartridges. It runs through emulation, and some 2600 cartridges are not compatible.
🎮 Is the controller really wireless?
Yes. The CX78+ communicates with a wireless adapter plugged into the console's DB9 controller port. Its battery recharges via USB-C cable; the manufacturer states around 25 hours of battery life.
📦 Which game is included?
The Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest cartridge, a brand-new 7800 game that follows on from Crystal Castles. Other cartridges are sold separately.
🔌 Is the power adapter included?
No. The USB-C cable is included, the USB power adapter is not.
👥 Can two people play?
Yes, with a second CX78+ controller, a CX40+ joystick or an original Atari controller with a DB9 connector, sold separately. The console has no USB port for an off-the-shelf controller.
🆚 What is the difference from the Atari 2600+?
Both play 2600 and 7800 cartridges. The 7800+ takes the look of the 7800 and comes with the CX78+ two-button wireless controller; the 2600+ takes that of the 2600, with a one-button CX40+ joystick.
🚚 What are the delivery times?

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
