The other version has a joystick with buttons on the side that is notoriously unpopular. 7800 plays all 2600 games which is a big bonus but the best thing about the model I have is that is has Asteroids built into the console. It's a damn good port of the game too with some nice 2 player co-op and versus modes.Skondo wrote:I see. I have a 7800 in the loft and I have Ms Pacman for that.
