FlashBack 2's now with Atari PC-CDROM , Cool

[ProperRogue]

So I picked up another FlashBack2 today , and I noticed it now has an Atari Anniversary Edt. PC-CDrom inside the package. What a pleasant surprise to find this disc inside the box. It contains 12 Atari Arcade games , and a few extras like screensavers, wallpaper, and icons & such. Pretty cool though.

 

Thanks Atari.

 

By the way , I picked this up @ Wal-Mart , and the old barcode has been covered with a new sticker. This might reflect the boxes the contain the cdrom , or just a lucky guess or coincidence. I dunno.

 

Also , my local Target was sold out of the Flashbacks @ $20 , so I took the ad to Wal-Mart , which of course will price match. So just a heads up if anyone's interested.

I wonder if these are RevC units; great deal for the extra CDROM! I'm betting none of the RevC's made it to Canada, but I'd love to be proved wrong.

Hey I remember QVC done this when the FB2 first release and they add the Atari PC CDRom with the console if you only shop on QVC.

So... if QVC sold the CDROMs inside the boxes (I don't know, who got one from them?), does that mean Walmart has old RevA, new RevC, or regular vanilla RevB stock with CDROMs?

That's right, I remember when the Flashback 2's were a preorder item from QVC and that was the only way to get the CDRoms. Maybe they dumped all their stock they had leftover? Seems unlikely to do that almost a year later.

 

I noticed Target has it on sale for $19.99. Sounds like what I paid for it last Christmas when I bought it, or was it $30 originally?

Sweet.I just might have to go and pick up a second FB2.

If anyone wants , I can take a picture of the back of my box. I was just wondering if the new barcode sticker, over the former boxed one , might have meant the cdrom was included.

 

I haven't even had a chance to hook this up yet though. I was reading where most of you said Rev.1 for the board. If I remember reading right, Rev.1 didnt have the voice sample in Quadrun, but was later added to Rev.2. , or something like that.

foxglove: the original price of the Flashback 2 was $30 (still a great deal).

 

The old Flashback (wannabe 7800) was $40.
