1:26 Wow! THAT looks Great. They nailed the presentation on this set. Would look good on a shelf. I can only HOPE a Sega Saturn Mini would get such a treatment.
Maybe because the packaging costs more than the sh** inside. Anyway if they decide to sell a VIP edition, the first thing to do is to PUT a foam (or something else) between the console and the carts ! Imagine you receive your box, and the console is totally ruined by scratchs due to carts moving on it during the shipping. 🤔
@@joysticksnjukeboxes Yeah I saw another youtuber open one of these and immediately went online to purchase it, only to find the generic version they're selling to the public. No thanks.
Yeah I’d probably pay whatever it took to order one of these. Seems a bit like the longtime fans (and purchasers) should have a crack at buying collectible packaging like this.
"I'm a VIP! I'm grateful whenever a company sends me something" Here lies the rub: the fact he got a free VIP package immediately cast doubt on the impartiality of the tester.
sounds ridiculous, but what I miss even more than the games, is having the console sitting on the floor in front of the tv, with games spread all over the floor, taking turns who gets to pick the next game.
Missed opportunity to sell this as a display piece for collectors versus an eceleb press kit. I have no nostalgia for 2600 etc; as I didn’t get into Atari until the Lynx and Jaguar, but I’d have bought this as playable decor for the game room.
Here’s my rant. Are collectors actually a part of Atari’s demographic? Sending out review bundles that won’t be available to the masses makes 0 sense to me because it’s more about the novelty and collectability to begin with, smh. That’s a difference from “I must get this” to “Ok, I’ll pick it up…eventually, maybe”
I remember in 1986 i was round a friends house when i would of been 11, playing atari 2600, france were playing brazil in 1986 world cup that day, so i remember playing the atari 2600 2600 was the only atari i ever saw in uk growing up, so these videos are interesting to see what you americans grew up with
Congrats on getting this VIP for Free from Atari! As a collector, I would have kept it sealed since you have one on pre-order. And having one of the 1st (50) with SN#49 makes it a true collectors item
As Amazon, at least here in Australia, currently has 40% off on the Atari 2600+ which I purchased at full price on release, I feel like I should exercise patience and get the 7800+ down the track when it is subjected to a likely similar discount.
How about a single FPGA console, so we can just load cores for all those consoles, and have cycle accurate representation of the actual hardware... It's cool, but these emulation boxes are kind of getting old. 🤷
But would it have blown you away if you hadn't gotten all the free extras for being an influencer? Yeah, the VIP package looks AWESOME. But that's not what people are getting.
It's basically a SNES Mini or a Genesis Mini that can play and emulate some of your carts. If it had FPGA chip instead of a Arm chip, it would be perfect.
@R3TR0R4V3 but at least it has some semblance of a rival, which it didn't before. However, with the original ROM available in Atari 50, current console versions are best version.
So, are all the 7800 games compatible on this console? Lately, these gaming companies say that new consoles work with every game, yet when they release a good bit of them don't work.
This has the same emulator as the Atari 2600+, that shipped with low compatibility, but the community and Atari engineers have been doing regular updates since then, so this will be shipping with up-to-date firmware updates with close to full compatibility.
I went into a warehouse store and saw one of those 'Gamestation Pro' for $80, and thought: "Whoa, wait.. is this a new Atari? Holy cow, I should grab one!" Then saw it was the Gamestation. We went to a Goodwill after and saw one for $20. :p Glad I avoided it. This one I'd be tempted to buy though... I still might, as I have a bunch of Atari games of varying condition. Does this work with the original controllers? I can't find good pictures of the front that actually show.
Man, I couldn’t help myself - I didn’t get the 7800+, just due to the fact that there’s too much overlap to justify it after buying the 2600+, but man! I got an extra set of CX-30’s after buying the bundle previously, the new wireless CX-40, and got Food Fight, Asteroids Deluxe, Berzerk Enhanced, and Space Duel (yep, another Atari “not so classic” arcade game, if anything, overshadowed by the success of Asteroids). Anyway, I have to give credit to Atari for making all the peripherals compatible with original hardware. They are truly firing on all cylinders after some earlier stumbles. As for Intellivision, it was a hit back when the Flashback Console was released. If Atari gives it the + treatment, I predict that it will be just as popular!
This looks good. Now I am hoping that if Atari is going to own Intellivision, they buy Colecovision as well. Maybe even Vic Tokai games. If they do that, they will have franchises to add. Exclusive content that other companies gave up on and could see a resurgence. Clash At Demonhead comes to mind as a game that the original could make a comeback on this system. Maybe the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons games from back then. There is no reason that they couldn't do it. Acquire the license at least to put them on the system. If they bring back some of the old games from the NES and Master System that Nintendo and Sega haven't bothered with in decades, they could clean up nicely. There are some really good games that haven't been touched from that era. Hell, even getting some PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16/Genesis/SNES stuff could be possible in the next release. I am not talking stuff that Sega or Nintendo cares about. The good games they and other companies have let go of. Atari could really make a serious comeback in a few years if they did this. It might create a buzz to where they might be able to use the library to bring out new games with modern technology and graphics while still honoring the games of the past. The way they wanted to do it several years ago. It is the long game, but one that might be worth it. 4-5 years from now, they could be in a position to do something special. Especially if the Xbox goes away because they go exclusively digital with PC's and Phones. Sony and Nintendo are trying to position themselves for a head to head war. It could lead to Atari having a chance to get some market share around 2030.
Yea keep dreaming 🤭🤭 like Nintendo s gonna let them have their games,i don't even think Sega s gonna let them have those old Master System games,Atari s not coming back to modern gaming consoles,after they failed with the Jaguar,Xbox is not going away,so like a say,keep dreaming.
@ozzie.l.6035 Read that again. I was talking about the other developers like Vic Tokai who had games on the system, not owned by Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't control what happens with those games. They are the property of the companies that develop them. Capcom for example owns Street Fighter and Mega Man. Square Enix owns Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. I am not talking about Mario or Zelda or Metroid. Or with Sega about Sonic. Just the games that they haven't been putting on the E shops.
@ozzie.l.6035 As for the Xbox, didn't this particular generation fail to catch on the way the Xbox One did? Haven't they also been talking about going all digital because they don't like having to produce expensive consoles? Just saying, it is possible they move in that direction in 2029-2030. If they do, that opens up a window for Atari to possibly get in the door if they develop a good system. I am not saying they would get a 20% of the market in that scenario, but if they get 5% that would be a success for them.
@WolfsDE Oh wow,how beautiful in ur head 🤭🤭 so since when have you been waiting for Xbox to go away,since let say 2003-04?? 🤭🤭🤭 yeap keep dreaming,how delusional n pathetic. 😆😅
On practically every channel, featuring the 7800+, no one seems to know, how to play “Bounty Bob Strikes Back”! I guess many of these influencers never played Miner 2049er?! Very fun, simple to learn game.
Atari's sound chip is what always made it feel dated and behind NES. From 2600 (of course since its from the 70s) but all the way through 7800 they never had a good sound chip. Sound is important. Gameboy, crap screen but had amazing sound
Ridiculous. 5200 pokey chip was incredible in its time. Renowned. Used in many arcade games which is why games like 5200 centipede and tempest have arcade perfect sound. The 8 bit computer line has some incredible music compositions from games - ballblazer had its memorable theme on the 5200 version. What 5200 games were you disappointed with in audio?
Bounty Bob is hours of great play once you get into it. I can wait for my 7800+ to add to the collection. Atari is killing it. Good review.. thank you.
This is just Press Kit. Some of my buddies who work a Ziff Davis got some over at their IGN offices. Companies have done this since the days I worked in the magazine business decades ago. They expect you to film it, which is promotion far beyond the cost of the packaging. They hope people will see titles like yours, and assume the unboxing is of the product they can order. It's ashame it's a one second mention in the video, and not made clear in the title "Atari 7800+ *_[Press Kit]_*_ Unboxing."_ Atari clearly got their monies worth with this influencer.
Id get excited too I can't even afford one thing you get for review lol! Not knocking, just young family to take care of but got a kick out of your beginning 😜
Just got my 7800+ in the mail today. Wireless controllers are nice but fire button A, and fire button B are too far apart IMO, as it makes making a running jump in BentleyBear game awkward. Luckily I have 3rd party 2 fire button controllers with extension cables I can use. Still even with the 2.0 firmware there are some game cartridges that still won't work, like Chetiry, Time Pilot, Double Dragon...The HDMI video connection is great. I just played some Failsafe, Rampage, Space Duel and Moon Cresta . 😊
The best out there is the Atari Gamestation pro, because you can add your won roms and also play other consoles and use other pads like an xbox controller. The Gamestation go shown at ECS 2025 will be even better
I recorded the unboxing several weeks ago, and while I am extremely grateful for them sending it.. I honestly started feeling a little mixed on it, while there is nothing here that the public doesnt get access to, all the games and controllers and console are normal.... the way it was bundled really would have been cool for collectors. I always prefer review products to be sent the way they are sold to the public so the unboxing experience and entire review is presented exactly like anyone else buying and experiencing it.. which was what I thought they were sending.
This system is great for someone who already has a catalog of 2600 and 7800 games. But for someone who doesn’t have any, it’s just not worth it. You will end up spending a ton of money for games that shouldn’t cost you more than a couple of dollars each. Two games will cost you as much as 1 modern game from today.
I purchased a couple new Atari 7800 Consoles at it's original launch ...but after comparing the same games that were also on the Atari 5200, IMO the 7800 was just a Cash grab. The new 2024 7800+ is ALSO just too dated to bother with.
I had the 7800 but mine came with joysticks. I don't remember seeing these types of controllers back in the day. Did tthey have a wired version of these?
Those controllers weren’t included or released for retail stores in North America you had order one via mail if you wanted it. 7800 pro controller is the name
Call it what it is, DUMB. How the hell do you make one of the coolest collector's packages ever seen and then don't release it to the public for collectors??
I asked for one for Christmas 🎄. Going to open it like I'm a 10 year old 😂. I was skeptical at first of the young crypto bros running Atari these days, but they are growing on me and doing a pretty good job I think.
@@captain3186 what controllers are they? Are they atari made or third party? Ive tried a few original Atari and they work, I dont have any 3rd party controllers anymore but previously i did and they worked on the 2600+.. but id imagine there may be some compatibility issues. But original stuff should work
@@Madlittlepixel I tried a 7800 Proline and a 2600 controller. Both official Vintage Atari. They work on the real 7800. Not sure what the issue is with them not working on the Plus EDIT: I got an Original 2600 controller to work Finally! Don't know what the deal is. I disconnected the console from power for a few minutes then tried again now its working. Firmware bug?
Too bad we can't get the version that blew you away. Just the cheap, one controller, one game version. Wife bought this thinking she was buying the big box set. She was pretty pissed when it wasn't. Don't blame her.

Hey, I've pre-ordered mine the week it announced it. Did you purchase all the new games with it?
Did you get a special one or does the one on amazon vome with everything you got? It looks like the one on amazon only vomes with 1 controller
Disappointed that Atari didn’t release the VIP/collectors edition to the public.
It is rather frustrating that we see a bunch of these press kits all over RUclips but we don't have the option of buying something like that.
Maybe because the packaging costs more than the sh** inside. Anyway if they decide to sell a VIP edition, the first thing to do is to PUT a foam (or something else) between the console and the carts ! Imagine you receive your box, and the console is totally ruined by scratchs due to carts moving on it during the shipping. 🤔

@@joysticksnjukeboxesno respect as Rodney Dangerfield would say
I got fond memorys of this console me and my brother had one in the 90s. We used to love it Can't believe they bought it back. Such a great package!
Atari making some great throwback packages.
Would love to see a 5200 with good analogue sticks for those twin stick games.
No. Intellivision plus. Bought the company for a reason.
It was only a USA release. Not worth it.
"I'm a VIP! I'm grateful whenever a company sends me something" Here lies the rub: the fact he got a free VIP package immediately cast doubt on the impartiality of the tester.
The box presentation on that is pretty sick.
Bentley Bear is more Wonder Boy than Mario IMO. Really looking forward to playing this over Christmas break.
From the footage I've seen of the game, it's definitely more like wonder boy / adventure Island
@@marccaselle8108yup it is, that's the game that inspired it.
@@marccaselle8108 Yes, it definitely is. I've owned and played it for several years, and WB is a much better comparison than SMB.
sounds ridiculous, but what I miss even more than the games, is having the console sitting on the floor in front of the tv, with games spread all over the floor, taking turns who gets to pick the next game.
Real talk... My family and I did the same
Well, with quality HDMI/USB cables that are long enough, you still can!
Yes this is awesome 👌
That box/bundle is gorgeous! I would buy that in a heartbeat if Atari had it available ❤🕹
1:34 -> 😆 I bet 90% of people watching this on a phone won’t even see Steve Carell’s face there. Nice little touch, Ron! 👍🏻
I was in the 90%
That is a really slick looking bundle! Like you said, would be a great collectors edition.
for my retro heart it's much better than some ps5 pro 😂, hope there will be more carts in near future
PS5 pro doorstop
It uses emulation rather than FPGA. That generally means Everdrives won't work. That is a deal breaker for me but happy for those that want it.
Did you see that "DOOKIE" thing fall outta that Tree??!? 😅😅🤣🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing Ron lol
MLP the energy bar in bently bears crystal quest, functions as your timer too.
Missed opportunity to sell this as a display piece for collectors versus an eceleb press kit. I have no nostalgia for 2600 etc; as I didn’t get into Atari until the Lynx and Jaguar, but I’d have bought this as playable decor for the game room.
I LOVE this so much! Can't wait to get mine!!
Just finished ordering my for Black Friday sale! I have the 2600+ and have been enjoying it.
Beautiful console. With the wireless will look great in my living room
Here’s my rant.
Are collectors actually a part of Atari’s demographic?
Sending out review bundles that won’t be available to the masses makes 0 sense to me because it’s more about the novelty and collectability to begin with, smh.
That’s a difference from “I must get this” to “Ok, I’ll pick it up…eventually, maybe”
I love the design! Looks still cool and i have good memories of playing Pitfall!
Bentley Bear evolves to become Crystal Castles. The dookie thing was a swarm of bees 😂.
I remember in 1986 i was round a friends house when i would of been 11, playing atari 2600, france were playing brazil in 1986 world cup that day, so i remember playing the atari 2600
2600 was the only atari i ever saw in uk growing up, so these videos are interesting to see what you americans grew up with
There is some secrets in the Bentley Bear game. Level 1 part 2 has a secret passage that takes you to a further level. Tip: it’s in the trees.
Congrats on getting this VIP for Free from Atari! As a collector, I would have kept it sealed since you have one on pre-order. And having one of the 1st (50) with SN#49 makes it a true collectors item
😂😂😂😂
Get a life.
As Amazon, at least here in Australia, currently has 40% off on the Atari 2600+ which I purchased at full price on release, I feel like I should exercise patience and get the 7800+ down the track when it is subjected to a likely similar discount.
Bentley Bear, that is a fun looking game.
Atari 2600 was my first console also! These new systems are really cool.
Nice parallax on that bear game.
It seems odd the label sticker is not facing forward so you see it?
Jaguar classic would cool
Kinda want to get one of these or the 2600+. Atari's been doing some cool stuff lately. :)
Looks like they have really done an awesome job.
Atari stuff was kind of before my time, I've messed with some of it on the Atari 50 collection but I started out with the NES but it looks cool though
Can't wait to play Xevious again. Better start stocking up on homebrews fast..
This is totally what the Intelivision should have been - hopefully Atari keeps making systems like these with what the own.
Last year I bought the VCS and the 2600+ at about the same time. Next I am definitely getting this one. These games never get old on the playability
Unfortunately this isn’t representative of what customers will receive. They should have made this available at retail.
I like your video; you’re funny! 😆 The “dookie” is a swarm of bees. Did you notice any controller lag, whatsoever?
It would be nice if Atari bought ColecoVision , then they can make Intellivision+, ColecoVision+, Atari 5200+ & maybe more!
I am expecting a Intellivision +. They bought the library.
How about a single FPGA console, so we can just load cores for all those consoles, and have cycle accurate representation of the actual hardware... It's cool, but these emulation boxes are kind of getting old. 🤷
It looks like an amazing system!Whats amazing that they are still making games aren't they?
I cannot believe I'm MAD because this thing does not have composite/rgb output haha
Ron, you now the VIP - Very Irritated Pixel ;-)
But would it have blown you away if you hadn't gotten all the free extras for being an influencer? Yeah, the VIP package looks AWESOME. But that's not what people are getting.
That Crystal Quest looks awesome.
Tallarico Taint Lickers mentioned
Bentley bear is like wonder boy
It's basically a SNES Mini or a Genesis Mini that can play and emulate some of your carts. If it had FPGA chip instead of a Arm chip, it would be perfect.
This is really cool! Do Atari 2600 cartridges work on this device too?
Yes they do
Mad Little Pixel, yoir shield in asteoida deluxe does recharge but i forgot how many seconds you have to wait before your shields get fully recharged.
Cool. The Colecovision has a rival for Frenzy!
Nah, the CV version is still the best! 🙌

Excellent reviews

Is it smaller than the original ?
Man that Wal-Mart sale was a scam! They force you to confirm email and phone, then don't even have the sale items in stock! Screw them!

It's ashame it's a one second mention in the video, and not made clear in the title "Atari 7800+ *_[Press Kit]_*_ Unboxing."_ Atari clearly got their monies worth with this influencer.
How can I get a VIP boxset???
Id get excited too I can't even afford one thing you get for review lol! Not knocking, just young family to take care of but got a kick out of your beginning 😜
Just got my 7800+ in the mail today. Wireless controllers are nice but fire button A, and fire button B are too far apart IMO, as it makes making a running jump in BentleyBear game awkward. Luckily I have 3rd party 2 fire button controllers with extension cables I can use. Still even with the 2.0 firmware there are some game cartridges that still won't work, like Chetiry, Time Pilot, Double Dragon...The HDMI video connection is great. I just played some Failsafe, Rampage, Space Duel and Moon Cresta . 😊
Will it play your old 7800 carts?
i would love to see a 5200 done
Does this play original cartridges from the 2600, 5200 and 7800? Looks sick!!!! I still have all my games around 200 of them!
The best out there is the Atari Gamestation pro, because you can add your won roms and also play other consoles and use other pads like an xbox controller. The Gamestation go shown at ECS 2025 will be even better
😮 DOPE!!!
Yeah I'm also disappointed I wanted the VIP should be available to the public regardless of the amount
I recorded the unboxing several weeks ago, and while I am extremely grateful for them sending it.. I honestly started feeling a little mixed on it, while there is nothing here that the public doesnt get access to, all the games and controllers and console are normal.... the way it was bundled really would have been cool for collectors. I always prefer review products to be sent the way they are sold to the public so the unboxing experience and entire review is presented exactly like anyone else buying and experiencing it.. which was what I thought they were sending.
How much does the 7800+ cost ?
That's dope!
Awesome
The Energy is just a timer.
This system is great for someone who already has a catalog of 2600 and 7800 games. But for someone who doesn’t have any, it’s just not worth it. You will end up spending a ton of money for games that shouldn’t cost you more than a couple of dollars each. Two games will cost you as much as 1 modern game from today.
You got high pitched there !
I purchased a couple new Atari 7800 Consoles at it's original launch ...but after comparing the same games that were also on the Atari 5200, IMO the 7800 was just a Cash grab. The new 2024 7800+ is ALSO just too dated to bother with.
I had the 7800 but mine came with joysticks. I don't remember seeing these types of controllers back in the day. Did tthey have a wired version of these?
Those controllers weren’t included or released for retail stores in North America you had order one via mail if you wanted it. 7800 pro controller is the name
Gotta get miner 2049er for that system... bounty bob's original story.
Yewh not a smart move of atari not bringing this set to the public.
Call it what it is, DUMB.
How the hell do you make one of the coolest collector's packages ever seen and then don't release it to the public for collectors??
I asked for one for Christmas 🎄. Going to open it like I'm a 10 year old 😂. I was skeptical at first of the young crypto bros running Atari these days, but they are growing on me and doing a pretty good job I think.
I'm bummed that they didn't make the controllers like the original console. Do my original 7800 joysticks work on this new console?
They do, the new console is backwards compatible with the original console's controllers.
@@Madlittlepixel Thank you very much. I've been trying to figure this out before it arrives this weekend.
@@Madlittlepixel my 7800+ isn't working with any of my OG controllers for some reason
@@captain3186 what controllers are they? Are they atari made or third party? Ive tried a few original Atari and they work, I dont have any 3rd party controllers anymore but previously i did and they worked on the 2600+.. but id imagine there may be some compatibility issues. But original stuff should work
@@Madlittlepixel I tried a 7800 Proline and a 2600 controller. Both official Vintage Atari. They work on the real 7800. Not sure what the issue is with them not working on the Plus
EDIT: I got an Original 2600 controller to work Finally! Don't know what the deal is. I disconnected the console from power for a few minutes then tried again now its working. Firmware bug?
Too bad we can't get the version that blew you away. Just the cheap, one controller, one game version. Wife bought this thinking she was buying the big box set. She was pretty pissed when it wasn't. Don't blame her.
It would be nice if they re released planet smashers & alien brigade. Don't wanna spend on the originals.
Looks like another money grab for Xmas.
Asteroids Deluxe is pretty much the same as Vectrex's Minestorm.
The Bently Bear game looks like an Adventure Island clone.**Edit** I see you reached the same conclusion later in the video. lol.
Hello I have a problem with higher and longer jump in crystal quest. Could you help me? With the pad.
Looking forward to this! 7800+ about to come out and destroy the NES! It's 1986 and the pokey chip is in cart bitches. Mario is going down! Wooooo!
A loading wait? WTF!
Yep, that's emulation for ya. :/ no long wait/loading times with real hardware & flashcart.
The Atari 7800 Damn that's cool 😎 @Madlittlepixel I love this retro content, you know... Just takes me back... Makes me wanna play...
