Review on ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Atari Flashback 2 Plug and Play Console by Donnie King

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Pictures and product description are WRONG

This system is clearly a later version re-released without Activision games. Despite pictures and description, Pitfall and River Raid are NOT included. Apparently they have been removed and Revane has never bothered to update the images. They may change this in the future, but as of this writing the main product image shows a box with a trap on the cover. This is not the box I received. It's a shame because those were the two games I wanted to play the most. I enjoy playing Haunted House and Combat again as these were the first games I had for my 2600 as a kid. But aside from the adventure games and a few other classics, the games included aren't that great. My old 2600 was still working when I checked, so I'm probably better off digging it up and hooking it up. Luckily, it only costs $35, but for that money, it's better to go with one of the 10-game joysticks. After all, there can only be ten good games in this system. As for the hidden games that people are reporting they ARE in this system. I've usually only heard that Warlords and Super Breakout are in the hidden menu, but Circus Atari is also available on this system. These are paddle games that do not work with the included joystick controller. It would be nice if they included an updated set of paddles OR hidden games that worked with a joystick. Note: Other people have mentioned that you have to power cycle the system to select a different game. again. This has been confirmed. While this would be the same as the original system, it's a little annoying.
