Gamepad Gameplay for the Atari 7800!

The Seagull 78 v2.0 is a controller adapter that allows the use of any Sega Genesis gamepad or other Genesis controller with your Atari 7800, providing authentic two-button gameplay control on all Atari 7800 games.

Simply plug your Sega Genesis or compatible controller into the Seagull 78, then plug the included 6' (1.8m) factory molded game cord into your Atari 7800 console. Buttons "B" and "C" on your Sega controller provide authentic two-button gameplay control on all Atari 7800 games. No other buttons are utilized on the controller while using the Seagull 78 adapter.

As a bonus, the 6' factory molded game cord may be used independently with any other retro game system that utilizes the DB9 connector, including many Flashback systems, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, and many 8-bit computers.

Happy to report, this works on the 2600 Plus. Just played Choplifter with no issue other than my playing skills.

Works great, takes a bit of getting used to going from a joystick to genesis style controller for games but once you get used to it it works fine. Love that I can connect it to my Hyperkin controller which is super long

While a little messy-looking compared to plugging a controller directly into the 7800 (and basically redundant for me, once I bought a SuperTwin 78), it's well worth it if you want to use a reasonable gamepad on your 7800 here in the US, instead of wrenching your wrists trying to use the stock Proline controllers. (The nickname "Painline" is well deserved!)
