I think I will have to get this one. It features a 2600 on a chip. No software emulation. It's even mod-able so that if you are handy you can get it to accept 2600 carts.

Atari claims to have sold 500,000 units of the last Flashback. I think most of them were sitting on the shelf at the local Target.

Buy.com says it will ship next month.

 

I got sick of Mame after a few weeks

 

damn i wish i could find the one i had back when i was a kid... anyways how do you get the games on that thing?

 

Check out this review http://www.classicgaming.com/feature...es/flashback2/ . They describe how one could hack it so it will take 2600 carts. I would expect full directions on the web by Xmas, if not Thanksgiving.

 

Mod instructions are up already http://www.atarimuseum.com/fb2hacks/

 

I still fire up my 2600 every now and then.

 

My 2600 still works. I also have a 2600 controller to usb adapter with drivers and play my emulated games with it all the time.

 

What? No paddle controlers? Only joysticks?

 

I just picked up my Flashback 2 last night. I was up until 1am playing Pong, Combat, and Asteroids.
