E.T. ain't nothing! I beat that game as a kid without a problem... Adventure as well!

But Raiders.......Raiders bucks the tradition of what is considered a game and is....well...video game hell.

It's also got some M-Network games on there. Nice to see that. I see ATGames now does a whole mess of Flashback stuff -- is any of it good? We all know the uneven quality of their Genesis clone a while back.

Well the atari one i've got is good though I wish it had a cart slot for 2600 games :lol: (come on I can't be the only one thinking if you're going to make a clone why not put a cart slot on it amirite?)

Did the older Flashbacks have that? I'm sure they did.

I think they did or at least my memory from when I saw some of them they did(heck the genesis one they make still has the slot but I have no use of it since I have a r5)

Some of them were made internally so you could easily hack a cart connector on there if you so desired.

I used to think that using FAQs and guides (or cheats) is considered cheating. No more. I see them as a complementary item to the game. I do not want to spend 10-20min back-tracking and wondering what to do next or having to repeat a whole level because some random fireball shot me near the end in a long platforming level

Went to Sam's Club today and they had a giant display of the new(?) Flashback systems - Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, and Sega.

DO WANT.
