/vr/ - Retro Games

I'd design an Atari 7800 and release it when it should have been released, in 1984, then lobby some 3rd party companies to make some cracking arcade conversions, thereby changing history and putting a stop to Nintendo's eventual dominance in the American market and turning Atari back into the powerhouse it was a few years prior.

Pros:
>up to 100 sprites on screen
>can display sprites of any size, from 4x4 up to an impressive 16x160, the reason it's so adept at displaying pseudo 3D graphics compared to NES and SMS
>30 sprites per scanline, sprites don't flicker no matter how many there are on the screen
>DMA graphics chip, which probably means its not held back by a puny graphics memory cache like the NES' PPU and could use the 4K main RAM for everything
>almost full Atari 2600 BC
Cons:
>can't draw tile backgrounds, everything has to be displayed as sprites
>no hardware scrolling (doesn't mean it's not possible through 7800's flexible software)
>2 channel sound chip from fucking 1977
>small carts with small banks, though bankswitching is still possible
>smaller screen resolution
>DMA graphics chip eats some CPU cycles

What kinda games do you think we'd get from this console bros? Would the western and eastern gaming market be fractured, with atari dominating the west and nintendo dominating the east? Would Nintendo games like Zelda and Metroid become FDS exclusive while the 7800 would popularize Gauntlet-likes, Robotron 2084-likes, arcade accurate ports, and C64/ZX Spectrum ports? Would NES' sound chip and high res graphics help it compete against the 7800 in the west?
