Users can still relieve great game memories with the aid of Atari 7800 ROMs file to enable game play on their newer devices. But with the aid of ROM technology the great games on the almost forgotten floppy disks have been rescued and preserved for posterity. However, with Atari increasingly focused on newer model release, the Atari 7800 faded out and so did the thousands of cartridges that housed great Atari 7800 games.

These Atari 7800 games were highly entertaining, especially in terms of sound and graphics and likewise packed with productive and educational game series. Though the Atari 7800 didnвЂ™t have much of a long commercial life, and was lacking behind the Atari 2600 which had a ton of games, however it was compatible with almost all of the existingВ games in the Atari 2600В library.

The sound chip was however the same as that of the Atari 2600, thus there was no major improvement in the sound department. The Atari 7800 came with a simple digital joystick, significantly improved graphics hardware over the Atari 2600, the new custom CPU and MARIA graphics chip that powered the system were capable of moving up to 100 objects on-screen at the same time and likewise capable of displaying up to 25 colours on screen out of a 256 colour palette. As at the time of its release it was in direct competition with the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System. It was built to have largely backward-compatibleВ with the previously releasedВ Atari 2600, making it the first console to have backward compatibility without the use of additional modules.
