Press Release Share Blog Receive press releases from AtGames Digital Media Inc.: By Email PDF Version RSS Feeds: AtGames to Launch the Atari Flashback 3 Retro Gaming Console with 60 Built-in Games Recreating the Original Atari 2600 Retro Gaming Experience AtGames announces the release of the Atari Flashback 3 console including 60 built-in games in the USA. Los Angeles, CA, September 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- AtGames Digital Media Ltd. is launching the Atari-licensed Atari Flashback® 3 console in the U.S. This product recreates for gamers the original video gaming experience of the widely appealing video game console (30 million units sold worldwide) from the 1980’s. With titles such as Asteroids, Missile Command, Centipede, Yars’ Revenge and 56 others, there are hours and hours of the purest video gaming entertainment for the whole family. For anyone who had an Atari 2600 back in the 1980’s, the Flashback 3 really is a “flashback” to an era when video gaming first had mass appeal. But if you haven’t had the experience of the original Atari, then the Flashback 3 takes you right back to the heart of the eighties. With styling based on the original Atari 2600, the Flashback 3 is complete with two retro joysticks, also based on the original Atari designs. This retro experience allows you to go back in time so you can experience how it all started, and why retro gamers still say that the Atari games are as playable now as it was then. The Atari Flashback 3 is an easy to use plug and play device that you use with your TV that provides an affordable piece of video gaming nostalgia suitable for the whole family. “Atari games are known around the world and we are pleased to partner with AtGames to re-launch our best selling Flashback series of classic games for a whole new generation of consumers worldwide,” says Lee Jacobson, SVP of Licensing at Atari Inc. “Atari is one of the legendary brands in the world that goes beyond borders and time. We are delighted to be Atari’s partner for bringing the Atari Flashback 3 to the worldwide audience,” says Dr. Ping-Kang Hsiung, CEO of AtGames Digital Media Ltd. The Atari Flashback 3 will be available in September 2011 for the low price of $39.99. AtGames has designated Digital Media Cartridge as its distributor.

thevnaguy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 so why would someone want to buy this over a flashback 2 for much cheaper? looks like just a rehash with a different case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think $60 is way too much for this. No way will I be getting one for that price. Maybe if it had an SD slot....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Even though no cart slot is workable on it, I am wondering if an SD slot can be hacked in somehow. I am asking questions of people that have the FB3 already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
