Hey, so I recently picked up a boxed 7800, and now have two. They are both mint in box, the new one I got looks like it was never used, everything packed neatly in it's original packing.
I've never really used my 7800, mainly because of the size of it, it doesn't fix too easily on the desk I have everything set up on, and I use my 2600 Jr. more than anything, so I have always left it in the box. Plus I've only ever had two or three games, and also had the 2600 variants.
So on getting this new one, I decided to hook it up and play a few 7800 games. First I tried a copy of Joust which definitely worked last time I tried it. On both 7800's it wouldn't load up, the pack-in Asteroids game just kept coming up.
Then I tried Battlezone, no problems. I have about eight or nine sealed 7800 games, two of which are copies of I think Barnyard Blaster, so I opened one of them to see would it play. Same thing, both consoles booting to the Asteroids game.
Now Joust definitely worked for me last time I tried it, which could be two years ago now. Anyone any ideas what could be wrong?
Cheers
