As a child of the ’80s, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the Atari 7800+! Growing up with the original Atari consoles was like a dream come true, and now, decades later, they’re giving us a chance to revisit those cherished memories. The sleek design, modern features, and compatibility with both Atari 2600 and 7800 game cartridges make this the perfect blend of nostalgia and convenience for retro gaming enthusiasts like myself. And let’s not forget about the new controllers – I can hardly wait to get my hands on that CX78+ Wireless Gamepad!
Today, PLAION unveiled the modern-day reincarnation of the 1986 classic – the Atari 7800+. This new edition mirrors its original counterpart.
As a gamer, I’m thrilled about the 7800+! It comes loaded with contemporary comfort features and gives me access to a massive collection of Atari 2600 and 7800 games. This means I can relive some timeless classics in an entirely fresh way!

Last year, PLAION and Atari decided to carry on enhancing the ‘Plus’ series, considering the positive response from 1980s enthusiasts. To cater to this group, they selected the beloved Atari 7800 for contemporary restoration. The Atari 7800+ mirrors the original design while seamlessly integrating the charm of retro gaming with the ease of modern tech.
Here’s the key features from the latest press release:
- Plays both Atari 2600 and 7800 game cartridges
- Near perfect compatibility with original and third-party Atari games
- Includes the new Wireless CX78+ Gamepad for two button gaming needs
- Easily connects to any screen via HDMI
- Widescreen or 4:3 viewing options for all displays
- Included game cartridge is Bentley Bear’s newest 7800 adventure – Bentley Bear’s Crystal Quest
- Comes with USB-C charging cable and HDMI cable
Global enthusiasts of retro gaming have been instrumental in propelling these ventures forward. Although the Atari 2600+ served as a significant blast from the past, many supporters expressed a desire for a console reflecting their own gaming period. The 7800+ offers access to cherished memories while introducing classics to a fresh audience, according to Simon Turner, Marketing Director at PLAION.
Additionally, six new game titles are being launched, along with two new controllers: the CX40+ Wireless Joystick (Retail Price: £29.99 / €34.99) and the CX78+ Wireless Gamepad (Retail Price: £29.99 / €34.99). The Atari 7800+, priced at £99.99 (€119.99), will also be available for purchase. Notably, this release comes a week after the launch of “The Spectrum” by PLAION, another retro console featuring 48 games for the iconic Spectrum system.
The Atari 7800+ is out now.
