Atari Flashback 2.0

**gamevet** · 17 Jul 2005, 02:23 AM

Unlike the first Flashback console, this one will actually use Atari 2600 hardware to provide the games, in the form of the 2600 on a chip. The flashback 2 will feature over 40 games, with 7 titles being unreleased and another 7 homebrew. New titles include Yar's Return and Return to Haunted House.

I got some hands-on time with one at the Funspot torunament this year.

Unlike last time the gameplay is spot-on. Pretty impressive set.

I hear you'll be able to hack a 2600 cart port onto this one so you can play any old cart. Good stuff.

Why not just get the actual system then? I have one available if you want it.

This one has composite video though.

The unreleased Atari games aren't that great judging from the prototype roms I have played. Combat II is good but I doubt I will get anyone to play with me. I liked Save Mary.

The homebrew and remake stuff intrigue me. I will probably buy it for those.

Yeah exactly. I've got a 2600 and 7800 already, and neither does Composite out of the box.

The new Flasback uses standard 2600 controllers too, so you'll be able to use the paddles with games that are supposed to use them, etc. You can use the new Flashback controllers on your old system too.
