The Atari 7800+ is a no-frills glimpse into a forgotten gaming era
Briefly

The HDMI output from the 7800+ is the updated console's main selling point. However, upscaling low-resolution graphics can diminish the visual appeal of retro games.
The 7800+ doesn't offer scanline emulation or graphical filters to recreate CRT's glow, leading to blocky visuals in titles like Food Fight and Fatal Run.
The console lacks modern emulation conveniences such as save states, fast-forward, or high-score tracking, emphasizing authenticity over user-friendly features.
Despite being backward-compatible with Atari 2600 games, it's frustrating for those who purchased last year's Atari 2600+, raising questions about its continued relevance.
