Atari 7800 Difficulty Switch Guide
The difficulty switches on your Atari 7800 may be wreaking havoc on your gameplay experience and you may not even know it.
First off, all of the following information after this paragraph ends is from the brainz of fellow Atari 7800 fanatic Trebor. He did the work and compiled the list and it is accurate as of 12/10/2020. Trebor also has an amazing Youtube channel featuring groove-a-licious 7800 gameplay and long play videos of games you probably haven't even heard of. Check it out... he's cooler than me. OK... here's the info on the Difficulty Switches. Bye Bye. I'll miss you. Here's Trebor.
