do all these flashback machines just connect through composite?

Yep.

Have people see this MyRetroGameBox service? It looks like it could be pretty fun to try, even if you might not always get the best stuff

As has been mentioned, I do like that they'll take your preferences into account. Will probably do 3 months when I get some cash (which'll be MONTHS from now)

I wish this had existed years ago... I feel like I'd get so many duplicates if I signed up...

I was playing Mendel Palace for two hours straight.
It is surprisingly great, i was excepting some mediocre puzzle game.

Oh heck no. It's great. And long enough. Developed by a pre-Pokemon Game Freak.

For funsies I went to my RFGen profile and sorted by year. Shocked to see that 1982 is at the top of my list. 88 games! I have been into the 2nd gen for awhile but I guess I didn't realize how much.

1989 is #2 with 77 games, due to the combined power of the NES, SMS, C64, Game Boy, TG16, Lynx, and early Genesis.

Bringing up the rear (from bottom to top) are 1976 (pre-Atari), 1985 (post-crash), 1978 (early Atari), 1979 (early Atari), 1977 (early Atari), 1984 (post-crash), and, uh, 2014.

If you had to get one I'd choose the ColecoVision Flashback. It contains games that you'll never find in cart format (like homebrews). The controls also feel sturdier than the Intelli ones.

The Intelli Flashback seems decent so far, but it's packed with a lot of commons you could find for $1 in cart format. Lots of sports games too. Depending on your love for old WRPGs it could be worth it just for the D&D games.

Cool, I think I will grab the Colecovision one if it's still in the store. It's been singing a siren song to me for a while now.

So Xenoblade X is out in Japan on 4/29, which hopefully means the US won't have too wait to long now till the game comes out. Can't wait for this! Hopefully it will be as good or even better than Xenoblade was.

Neat. Most of my time with that year is from arcade/collections on other systems.
I should do this with my games (the ones I've given proper gaming time anyways).
If I were to guess, most of it would be '89-'94 (quite unoriginal I'm sure)..., but your results are definitely more interesting.
