<p>I finally broke out my Atari 7800+ and some of the games I'd picked up recently. Bently Bear's Crystal Quest is actually pretty great but you really need to use set the difficulty setting on the controller to"B" and use a good two-button gamepad like that RetroGameBoyz 7800 controller to play it properly.</p><p><a href="https://retrogameboyz.com/products/atari-2600-7800-controller-2600-joystick-control-pad-gamepad-rainbow" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="retrogameboyz.com/products/atari-2600-7800-controller-2600-joystick-control-pad-gamepad-rainbow"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">retrogameboyz.com/products/ata</span><span class="invisible">ri-2600-7800-controller-2600-joystick-control-pad-gamepad-rainbow</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/atari/" rel="tag">#atari</a> <a href="/tags/atari7800/" rel="tag">#atari7800</a> <a href="/tags/retro/" rel="tag">#retro</a> <a href="/tags/retrogaming/" rel="tag">#retrogaming</a> <a href="/tags/retrogames/" rel="tag">#retrogames</a> <a href="/tags/retrogamers/" rel="tag">#retrogamers</a> <a href="/tags/classicgaming/" rel="tag">#classicgaming</a></p>

<p>After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.</p><p>What did you use?</p><p><a href="/tags/computer/" rel="tag">#Computer</a> <a href="/tags/atari/" rel="tag">#Atari</a> <a href="/tags/amiga/" rel="tag">#Amiga</a> <a href="/tags/retrogaming/" rel="tag">#RetroGaming</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a></p>
