Spanner Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) RichCo(Asia) Ltd made the Atari2600 Plus(PLAION/Atari) and THEC64 Mini, THEC64, THEVIC20, THEA500 Mini(PLAION/RGL) and the Capcom Home Arcade(PLAION), they are all made in the same factory in Hong Kong, China. https://www.facebook.com/groups/atari2600plus It even uses the same serial numbering on its silver badge under the Atari2600+ as THEC64, THEVIC20 and THEA500 Mini.

Beatley82 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 That explains how nice the unit is. Aside form the weird issues on a couple of PAL titles I really like this machine (and the C64 Maxi). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanner Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Yes they are all made by Ben Jones of Koch Media UK and Ireland, now PLAION UK so all where designed in the UK and built in Hong Kong China(the UK part of China well it was), like the C64 DTV was, that one device started it all off 20 years ago, this is now the 12th Atari Flashback model, I hope now this is the end of them and this is the last one, no point Atari making another model, they can now get money from making new game cartridges for it so no need for another model by ATGames. and this idea of using Cartridges is use on the Evercade by Blaze too and they have sold well.
