The 400/800 (XL) series generate their graphics in an entirely different
manner. 2600 games are designed with primitive graphics in mind, while the
800 series machines are truly graphics oriented. You'll find that they are 
not in the least bit compatible. Atari 5200 games on the other hand, are
almost identical to 800 games (because the machines are almost identical).
