I pickup up one even though I have an original Atari 2600 but it is kinda nice to have a bunch of retro games in a small package. Brings back some good memories... Anyone know the difference between the Flashback numbers. The one I have is 5. |
. Maybe Ill fire it back up soon

I've read that the Flashback 2 is the most faithful because it uses the actual chipset (not emulation or ports) that the Atari 2600 used, they just shrunk it and cost reduced it. It even has spots on the board that you can solder a cartridge port to and it can play the original games. I have a flashback 2 that I picked up for $5 at a thrift store and it seems spot on for all the games.
Everything after it I think uses emulation. The newer units, though, do have more built in games and some have wireless controllers They're fun the play with though, especially if you grew up with the original one. |
