I been watching a lot of classic game room these days and may have been getting subliminal messages to get an 8bit computer gaming system. As fun as it would be to try importing and tracking down a MSX pc or a Sega, I would really like a Sega SG, but that costs a lot of money and harder to come by. I'm also interested in a Commodore 64 and Amiga, but seeing the Atari XEGS, it sounds like a solid choice. With it being able to play the majority of the Atari 8bit line and being marketed in North America, figured it would be easy to get one and get a good collection for it. That and being able to use a Sega Genesis controller is definitely a bonus. But I really have no idea what games to go for, other then Mario Bros and Hero. Was surprised we didn't have an Atari 8 Bit Guide on Racketboy. Other question is, is the available game library on the XE better then the available gaming library on the Atari 7800? Well, pretty much it's I'm new to Atari gaming, I had a 2600 as a kid before I got a NES, but I don't have any feelings of nostalgia for it or the desire to go through rf adapters again. But I do want to experience some platforms I missed out on since I was a kid, figured Atari should be my next shot.
