I was playing Aliens vs Predator the other day on this, and remembering why it was actually pretty cool once. Too bad about the lack of good games and the awful controllers.

The Atari 780 was originally released in 1984, then re-released in 1986. It could run the old Atari VCS/2600 games as well as its own, and they dumped the awful analogue joystick of the 5200 to return to the digital style of the older system.

The Atari 800 was one of the first home computers to be released, after the TRS-80 Model 1, Commodore Pet and Apple ][. I still love the case design - looks futuristic in its own right. It had a real keyboard, unlike the 400, twin cartridge slots and four joystick controllers. I remember desperately wanting one.

This was part of Atari's second series of home computers, following on from the 400, 800 and 1000XL. I still like the futuristic styling.
