Had a couple of errors I wanted to bring up on your 7800 console review, Dave:

 

The Atari 7800 was techincally superior to the 5200, the games just didnt use the pokey chips for audio. So they sounded like crap. Ballblazer and Commando used the Pokey chips, therefore the sound in those games were excellent. The maria graphic chips were never maximized, but rumor has it that they were superior to the NES carts.

 

Also, newer (post 1984) 7800 games featured full colored labels. Just FYI

 

Love the site, man!

You are definitely the resident expert on the 7800, so I'll try to correct those mistakes.
Thanks
