Good_Times Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I must admit, I dig that design. Several neat games included, as well. Sure, for $40 I'd bite. Maybe get a pair, so wifey can mess with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 That screen looks REALLY small to me; are there any dimensions (or other specifications) available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldLeader Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I believe I read a 2.4 inch screen, yeah small...And no SD slot...Cool design, though. I like the Flashback Portable better overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo-Torch Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I understand reusing the same shell from the Sega when they made the Flashback portable, but if you're designing something new and specific, why not do it right and put the thumbstick on the right side where it belongs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangorn81 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Anyone know what is going on under the hood of this thing? Likelihood of adding ROMs? How are breakout and pong included when I don't see any paddle control?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Anyone know what is going on under the hood of this thing? Likelihood of adding ROMs? How are breakout and pong included when I don't see any paddle control?? I'm guessing you just control the paddle games with a joystick. It's the same on the Flashback. I really do like the look of this thing, but as I've said the Flashback has better games...No 3rd party or homebrews and no SD slot is a bummer... As far as paddle games go, I see people complaining...But I personally just see them as icing on the cake. They'll be playable to a point, but not so easily as if you had a paddle... Does anyone know if this thing is coming to our side of the pond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
