The Atari Flashback returns with a new and improved design and brand new wireless controllers. This detailed review covers the history of the previous Flashback consoles, as well as exploring all the details of this great new console. The Atari Flashback 4 is sure to be the hot retro gaming product this Holiday Season.
Atari has revealed classic game patch packs for fans and collectors.
The Atari 7800+ follows on the heels of last year's Atari 2600+.
In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.
In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.
So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
GL: "There have been some great handheld consoles over the decades, but along the way came a slew of not-so-great ones; here are seven of the worst."
Atari is awesome
This looks awesome. I remember playing Mouse trap until my hand felt like it was going to fall off, but the one I really miss is keystone capers.
Great review, I can't believe that this supports original controllers - that is awesome!
I love these things, but I still have my original Atari 2600 if I'm ever feeling nostalgic. Hard to believe that so many people found happiness with such terrible graphics, just goes to show that graphics aren't as important as gameplay and fun.
