About

If the Atari 7800 was overlooked, then the XEGS was all but ignored due to the system being completely neglected by Atari’s marketing department. The XEGS was essentially a repackaged Atari 65XE computer. It was compatible with almost all Atari 8-bit software, peripherals, and hardware as a result. Bad marketing and poor support killed it before it’s time. This is an excellent choice for collectors interested in exploring the Atari 8-bit computers, as it is compatible with 95% of the game carts from that line.
