Atari Flashback Steals PS3 and Wii Market

November 15th, 2006 by JFN

Unlikely headline, but still a very exciting alternative…

Classic Atari Ad

A CLASSIC REWIND

Some Features:

  1. Two-thirds the size of the original Atari 2600 console released in 1977
  2. Two joysticks - and if you still have some of that vintage gear laying around, you’ll be happy to hear this: “Original Legacy Atari paddle controllers are compatible with Arcade Pong”
  3. 40 games pre-installed (Note: I was disappointed to find one of my all-time favorites is missing, Pole Position.)
  • Check out the online manual for a full listing of the games among other tidbits of retro Atari wisdom.
  • More Information:
    Manufacturer Site | Atari® Flashback™ 2 Classic Game Console

    Purchase Page | the Atari Flashback 2.0 from Amazon.com - $30 (Nota Bena: There’s a rumor going around that Target will have the system for $20 on black Friday.)

    I Reminisce:
    Growing up in the Eighties just wouldn’t have been the same without this classic time-waster - A special shout out to my older brothers, who will probably appreciate this more than I can, for introducing me to the video game revolution way back when.
