ActionGeek Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Anyone else seen the Atari Flasback on the official Atari.com website? http://www.atari.com/us/games/atari_flashback/7800 I'm looking for some better images so that I can do up some sort of an article on it for my 'zine called Action Geek. http://www.dsquared.org Totally stupid that it just has built-in games and no way to play the carts that, as we all know, are still out there, dying to be played...

sku_u Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Woah... I just found a read a good chunkof the multi-page rant/review on the Flashback... yikes... didn't mean to beat a dead horse... Don't worry about it. BTW, I see you joined over 2 years ago, but only posted today for the first time. I guess that makes you one of the ultimate lurkers here.

Radio F Software Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Heh, I was a big lurker too. I originally joined Apr 7th, made one post and vanished. Then I came back. BUT, I had one post, he had zero. He's the winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Everytime I see the name of this console I think of some ex-LSD-addict bad-tripping back to the 70s when he had his atari.

doctorclu Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Just wanted to say, picked up the Flashback from Target for $35 and find it to be really cute. And loved watching how some kids really got into it at a party, along with the parents. I think many will find it a lot of fun. The Flashback is TINY! It has listed on the back "Mini 7800". The controllers are comparitive "mini" size. The controllers do not work on the Atari 800 at the moment. Have to see if we can make an adapter. But my thoughts, cute, fun, simple. Something a lot of parents will have fun walking down memory lane... loved the two player Centipede! And the kids liked it to.
