10 Atari Cartridge-Based Games Up For Preorder At Amazon Alongside Atari 7800+
The Atari 7800+ follows on the heels of last year's Atari 2600+.
Atari is making another cartridge-based replica of one of its classic home consoles. Last holiday, retro fans got the Atari 2600+, and this holiday they can add the Atari 7800+ to their collections. Like the 2600+, the 7800+ costs $130 and is slated to arrive on November 29. Along with the console, you'll get a wireless CX78+ gamepad and a copy of the modern 7800 platformer Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest to get your collection started. You can preorder the Atari 7800+ at Amazon.

$130
Atari built the 7800+ as a modernized and compact version of the iconic retro console. It connects to your TV via HDMI, plays Atari 7800 and 2600 cartridges, and works with original and third-party Atari cartridges. The included controller charges via USB-C. Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest, is a sequel to Crystal Castles--making it a nice first game to add to your library.
The Atari 7800+ isn't the only new addition to the Atari catalog, as the company is releasing two new controllers and numerous game cartridges alongside the console.
The CX78+ Wireless Gamepad is included with the Atari 7800+ and is a recreation of the popular two-button controller from the original platform. You can preorder extra CX78+ gamepads for $35 each.
The CX40+, meanwhile, is Atari's joystick controller. It originally released last year with the 2600+, but now Atari is adding a wireless model to the lineup. Preorders for the CX40+ Wireless Joystick are available for $35 at Amazon.
The controllers work on the Atari 7800+ and 2600+ as well as PC when using a USB-C adapter. If you happen to own the original Atari 7800 or 2600, they'll work on those, too.
Amazon is also taking preorders on a bunch of 7800 and 2600 cartridges (what year is it?). Each cart costs $30 and is compatible with the Atari 7800+ and 2600+ as well as original hardware.
