This is the most recent addition to the consoles I have laying around is the Atari 7800 ProSystem. Need to replace the power switch, as it's not working very well. From what I've seen, in all of 3 minutes of game play, the graphics seem nice enough. I haven't cracked open my copy of Demon Attack yet, though I suspect that it's just the Atari 2600 version. It's the ol' black box version from Imagic.

The best thing about this system is that it can play 2600 carts, so when we have classic gaming night, it's two-for-one with this one!

Although I've gleaned only a smidgeon of information about this system, it seems the salient points are that it was first developed back in 1984 as a successor to the ill-fated Atari 5200, but wasn't released until the great revival brought about by the success of the NES in 1986. A case of too little, too late, many say.
