AAA177 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm assuming I know the answer to this, but just want to be sure. I saw that the Flashback 8 is out (thought it was coming out later, but I guess that is for the other versions) and that the version on shelves now has some of the Activision games. Believe it or not, for a long time now I have accessed Activision games via my Game Boy Advance anthology (played on the Gamecube through Game Boy Player). I recently compared that to my PS2 anthology and noticed the games played much smoother/faster. I assume I am correct that the Flashback 8 Activision games will play like the PS2 (and like actual Atari carts)? As far as I can tell, all the regular Atari games on the Flashbacks are fine, but in most cases I can't compare with original carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The PS2 Anthology is a more accurate emulator than the GBA release. The Flashback 8 Pro should be like the PS2 but without the Men Without Hats music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you want to hear "Eye in the Sky" every time you go to choose a game? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I love that music! Don't you want to hear "Eye in the Sky" every time you go to choose a game? That genre of music is the main reason I like Grand Theft Auto Vice City at all, despite the goofy controls and design. It reaches deep into my psyche in a profound, almost scary way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA177 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the replies, that's good to hear (I'll never forget when I first noticed that something was off with the Game Boy cartridge; took a while to see it, but when I did, I made the comparison, first via YouTube videos, then via the PS2). I too love the music from the 1980s. Brings back a lot of nostalgia... Edited September 20, 2017 by AAA177 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
