Got a Flashback 2 at Best Buy...

[ferrarimanf355]

I got a Flashback 2 at a local Best Buy a few hours back. I'm only typing this now because I was busy playing it. It's surreal to play video games that are older than I am (for some perspective, I was born in 1985... ) on a 50 inch widescreen TV. I was just checking the games out, but I did go into Quadrun, and that game has the voice effects, so it looks like I got the version B revision. Next up: testing the Flashback 2 joysticks on an original 4-switch 2600 a friend of mine has.

It's great fun isn't it? My girlfriend and I played Aquadventure and Atari Climber (damn irritating) for about 5 hours on Sat. night! How odd is that... haha... the next night changed quickly into Mortal Kombat Gold for the Dreamcast however

 

My kiddo loves that Frog Pond game...

Just today, I bought a FB2 at Best Buy as well. I assume it is the Rev. B model, too, but until I get it home I won't know. I also wonder if it has the GCC version of Millipede rather than the original Atari version. I'll keep ya posted.

My version has the Atari version, so I wouldn't get your hopes up...

UPDATE: IT IS A REV. B FLASHBACK 2!!!!!!!!!!!! I played Quadrun and the Voice-Synthesis was intact! So the sound issues obviously was corrected. I'm gonna use my Rev. A for a possible cartridge mod. I love my Rev. B!!!!!!!!

I believe only Walmart (as a nation-wide chain) sold the "Rev. A" version.
