    Lightgun games won't work on anything other than a CRT, so no. Pitfall II won't work initially. There is talk on AA about possible methods to get it to work, so maybe with some updates. The 2600+ will be USB updatable... So hoping for improved compatibility over time.

    I started collecting 2600 carts about 2 years ago when I bought a Return 77, I now have about 60 carts. Very excited for the 2600+, got my first 7 Atari 7800 cartridges!

      I don't collect. But I did accumulate 103 Atari 2600 cartridges, during the time before the crash. Sold them later on to get rid of the space it was taking up. Original boxes with manuals. Plus many Atari 2600 accessories. So made out as a bandit. The only time I got close of having that many games for a gaming console was PS3 with 75 games. Been selling that collection as well. I current have PS4 with 27 games. I don't miss the Atari 2600. Since I download Stella the Atari 2600 emulator and replay any game that I sold in the past. Emulators take up less room and still can enjoy the game play.

    I preordered mine and immediately went to my local Thrift gaming store that I knew had many 2600 and 7800 cartridges and bought about twenty! I did this while they were still 3.00 or 6.00 a piece. I wanted to make sure I got some just in case the prices for these cartridges went up due to the release of this system. I’m not a flipper just wanted some for me to play before a possible price hike by savvy flippers.
    Awesome collection ! I was looking for Pile position but I was not able to find it at the store-fond memories of the start song and the “Prepare to qualify ”. Ha ha! Good times!

      If you don't already have a collection of 2600 carts it could get a little expensive as retro games are getting to difficult to find. If you are on a budget you could look into the Gamestation Pro or even a Flashback.
