does the usb thingy mean you can use memory sticks with it (i.e upload 2600 game files into the onboard memory), extending the amount of games available to play

 

Shame they didn't come out with different dayglo colour's, like blue, grey, orange, yellow, pink, mauve etc etc

Pretty sure that's the Legacy Engineering clear USB stick. It doesn't play games.

That's simply our USB 2600 style joystick. The clear ones with blue led's are exclusive to RetroThing.com

It's a PC stick. It works great wiht Atari emulators, and it's durable as hell, so it can kick around in my notebook bag without worrying about breaking something (the stick unplugs)

 

I love mine.

All the links sure do make it sound that the unit itself runs Stella and includes 80 games built in. Retro gamers are smart enough to buy this for what it is (a 2600 styled USB joystick) not what they've already got running on their PC like Stella and ROMz.

Shame they did not do a version designed around say an atari proline or an atari europad....would've been interesting
