saverofgames Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 What were your opinions on the Flashback 2? I recently obtained one. I am new to this site. Is it worth going for the 3 or 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I would say yes, they look nice in box on display. If you get a flashback 4 try for the deluxe version with paddles and 4 posters. Sam's club had them for $40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other places to buy them other than the internet and Sam's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I've found everyone of mine at yard sales and retro game stores. They pop up quite often on EBay and go pretty cheap on auction but it seems the BIN ones are mostly overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking around ebay and its seems reasonable. I am avoiding the BIN option at all costs even though I am hard pressed as it is. What systems do you own in the Atari line-up?

Hyperboy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Way to many according to my girlfriend. I'm only missing a jaguar CD in box, I have 21 arcade cabinets, the flashback systems, the plug n plays and 4 boxed computers. (I'm not a computer collector but they came with a big lot I purchased a few years back.) I've been collecting for many years and it takes time and patience unless you have enough disposable income to just buy everything regardless of cost but that takes away from the great satisfaction you get when you find things you have been searching for or when you find items in the wild. Its kinda like a lifelong treasure hunt Make sure you read around the forums as there are a great many experts and very knowledgeable people who are more than willing to help out and answer questions. Welcome to the addiction called collecting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saverofgames Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thank you very much! I am sure I will find a reasonable priced item that I can add to my ever growing collection. I like to get right to it. I guess I will have to be patient then. I have a whole life to collect and I bet it will be quite fun. Which plug n plays? Which computers? I want an amiga and commodore 64. Do you have any suggestions that are easy and fun to collect for? Way to many according to my girlfriend.

yarjr Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The Flashback 2 is probably best because you can actually mod it to play real carts. Do a search on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
