carmel_andrews Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 From what i'm hearing...Atari's no longer into the whole retro hardware market...might be something to do with the restructuring the company is going through So, whatever is out there is Atari clearing their existing stock/inventory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroogur Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Have you checked the metro detroit area on Craigs list? Target had them ove the holidays as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 well i tried craigs list and did not find anything. Thank you all for your help. I guess ill have to wait for the FB2 portable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroogur Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I did a search under metro detroit in Craigslist ans found this: http://detroit.craigslist.org/tag/521259847.html They state it has 40 games which would imply its a fb2, it may be worth it to check it out?

SRGilbert Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 well i tried craigs list and did not find anything. Thank you all for your help. I guess ill have to wait for the FB2 portable! I wouldn't hold your breath, unfortunately the FB2 portable project was cancelled some time ago, there is a thread with information from Curt verifying this. Try posting in the Wanted section of the marketplace here on AA. A lot of guys cleaned out Target this holiday season when they were blowing them out for $20.00 or less. Target was probably the last brick and mortor store anyone has seen FB2's in a long time. If you haven't checked there, that's your best bet, but it's pretty unlikely there are any left.

BigO Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I have been wanting one for a very long time and would like to know if there is a store that i can get one from that is not online. Thanks in advance! I suppose he counts as online, but igg1na used to have a good supply of FB2's. I know that at one point that supply seemed like it may dry up, but it might be worth PM'ing him to see what he's got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 wow thank you kroogur, I did not see that! As for the FB2 portable, I was lead to believe that there is going to be a fb2 portable form wikipedia, the page was last modified August 2007. Maby the person that wrote the article is wrong, but I hope they are not! Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Flashback_Portable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragnerok X Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 As for the FB2 portable, I was lead to believe that there is going to be a fb2 portable form wikipedia, the page was last modified August 2007. Maby the person that wrote the article is wrong, but I hope they are not! From the "Question - FB2 Portable?" thread: Not as much as I wanted to see it out for Christmas... But no, it is NOT canceled, just put on hold due to issues of licensing and production. With the additional time, the product features have expanded and it will see release in Spring/Summer 08' Curt So, there is still hope, albeit somewhat sketchy.

SRGilbert Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well, for once I'm glad to be wrong, I mis-remembered what I had read I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I bought the last one at a local Target yesterday for $19.99, so there may still be a few more out there to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Is it too late to spend $100.00 at the AA store to be entered into the random drawing for a new FB2? Edited January 2, 2008 by BigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 i got tired of looking for them at regular stores so i scored one for $15.51 USD on ebay and it came with a pacman plug n play. It is used tho... where can i download an instruction manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I doubt you'll need an instruction manual to use it. If you're one that just likes to have those things available: http://www.atari.com/us/images/games/FBK2/manual/main.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're one that just likes to have those things available: http://www.atari.com/us/images/games/FBK2/manual/main.htm Thanks, I just want one to see what it looks like and what is written inside. I dont really need it for the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfranklin Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Try Ebay! I bought my boxed FB2 there last fall for less than $20. My wife bought me the original FB the other year in a neighbor's garage sale for $7! Keep looking, you will find it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
