Curt Vendel Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Since the new module piggybacks ontop of the Atari 7800 and plugs into its cartridge port, it covers over the 7800 label completely. So I think that the product, no matter the name should include the model "7800" in its final name, but you decide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Since this is for Super Games, I think Super Game Module is better as a name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 SuperPork, since it is super and it piggybacks. barring that, UltraBacon or MegaHam. What is better than 'pro'? Expert? Whatever is higher on the heirarchy should be its name. The 7800 <better than pro> system expander! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Call it "Mamma 'Ria". For the ad campaign, a bastardised version of the Abba song "Mamma Mia" could be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatohead Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 7800 SuperSystem My fave so far. Maybe 7800 SuperSystem Plus, just to hint at the add on idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I voted for the original name, "7800 Expansion Module," but now that I think about it some more, "7800 Super Game Module" would be a good name, too. Atari did use the "Super Game" designation on titles that used extra RAM or POKEY (end even bankswitched ROM, for that matter), so "Super Game Module" would be consistent with that. Besides, I just like the word "Super," and "Super Game Module" is the best use of it I can think of that isn't already taken: "SuperSystem" is the 5200, and "Super Pro System" is an Intellivision variant.

The_Laird Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The 5200 was called the Super System so I wouldn't go with that name. I vote 7800 Expansion Module or 7800 XM for short as it kinda follows along the lines of the 130 XE or 800 XL with the "X" bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammR25 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It doesn't use the Expansion port so I prefer the Super Game Module name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underball Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 But there are already 7800 "Super Games" that neither require nor take advantage of this module. 7800 XM works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseboy Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I voted for 7800 Super Game Module, but it was really a toss up between that and 7800 Expansion Module. I think both names are very fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The only logical choice is 78X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I like "7800 XS" as in excess - to go beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Atari did use the "Super Game" designation on titles that used extra RAM or POKEY I was always puzzled by the use of "SUPER GAME" as it seemed like more of a marketing term, usually reserved for "computer games" on the 7800. The one exception was Desert Falcon. Some of the "Super Games" have enhancements but others don't. Likewise, many of the non-branded games have the same enhancements. Officially branded "Super Games" were: Ballblazer - 32K, no RAM, POKEY included Desert Falcon - 48K, no RAM, no POKEY Impossible Mission - 128K, RAM included, no Pokey Karateka - 48K, no RAM, no POKEY One On one Basketball - 48K, no RAM, no POKEY. Summer Games - 128K, RAM, no POKEY Winter Games - 128K, RAM, no POKEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisalover1 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 7800 Super Game Module. It just sounds very "Atari", if you know what I mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
