| > better sound Amazingly, the Atari 7800 has worse sound hardware than the 2600/5200! That's got to be up high on the list of Tramiel skinflinting. |

| Is the sound just worse on 7800 games, or does it affect 2600 compatibility? |

| ▲ | TMWNN 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I misspoke. The 7800's sound hardware is worse than the 5200's (which is the same as the Atari 8-bit), but is the same as the 2600. Still, having audio hardware (or, really, anything else) decrease in quality from the previous generation is not a virtue for the console or Atari. |
