That does not work. It doesn't look like it will ever work.

Didn't work at all regardless of my TV settings or whatever. The console feels so light that I'm still pretty sure it's just a case. I don't even think there is at least one microcircuit in it at all. The worst thing is that the seller says it is "tested and 100% ok", full BS. And it costs more to send this item back to the seller than I would get back for a refund. Absolute nonsense. I want a new console as compensation. Unless. This is 100% considered a scam and I will be reaching out toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • High price

Great gift for gamers

I bought this for a guy I work with and he loves it. He's been interested in games for a long time, so I thought he might enjoy it a lot. Of course he played it a lot and told me how many memories it brings back. I'm not a big gamer but since he's having so much fun with it I'll probably order one. If you have friends, it would be great fun to bring back memories of playing centipede, asteroid, rocket team, etc. If you're looking for a decent gift for someone who loves gaming, this systemโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • I'll write later

Ahh my childhood for children's electronics

I grew up with an Atari 2600 and when the system became too old and beyond repair, I got rid of the poor thing. But even today I long for Yar's Revenge. Eh With that flashback, I got some classic Atari and Activision games (River Raid! Pitfall!), and a lot of them were games I liked. The best thing about this system: 1) No ammo to lose. All games in the system.2) I like many games. Adventure and Yar's are two of them. 3) classic joysticks but with a literal twist. The handle rotates so paddleโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All the best so far
Cons
  • Dear

Flashback Really - Video Games Plug & Play

If you grew up in the late '70s and early '80s, you most likely played the Atari 2600. Atari Flashback 2 is a journey into the past. You get a decent selection of some games for the 2600, although some of the best are excluded. No doubt for licensing reasons. Of the 40 games included, about 1/4 are unreleased or experimental games. Most feel incomplete or even broken. I find them pretty useless. All other games are playable and pretty much resemble the original 2600. There are audio and videoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Little Stuff

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 andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • I will add later

Atari 2600 Odds and Ends

Anyone expecting an Atari 2600 greatest hits collection with a retro wood grain finish will be disappointed. Most of the 40 games are prototypes or homebrew, with only a few classic Atari 2600 arcade games included for nostalgia reasons: Battlezone, Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, Pitfall, River Raid, Breakout, and Warlords. And all those generic Atari names are missing: Berzerk, Defender, Donkey Kong, Galaxian, Gravitar, Joust, Kaboom, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, and Space Invaders. Flashback

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Empty
