Fun at first
I was really excited to get the chance to play many of the old Atari games having enjoyed my Atari as a teenager. I especially enjoyed playing Adventure which was a favorite game of mine many years ago. I also liked the variety of games on the machine and the small, compact size of the game console. However, the lack of instructions for the games (without having to download from the Internet) and the short connection cable were frustrating. You cannot be very far from the tv to play. Also the fact that you have to turn the console off to switch games is rather frustrating. Despite this I enjoyed playing the games off and on for about two weeks of relatively light playing until one of the joysticks broke in half in my hands. I hope the other joystick will last longer than the first.
Don't waster your money
What a waste of time and money. The graphics are terrible, the joy sticks don't work and this was just an overall disappointemnt. I was really looking forward to playing the OLD atari games, but I guess you get what you pay for. Really, don't waste your money on this!!!
Original FUN restored, some functionality removed
ATARI was my first gaming system. Buying the flashback2.0 and playing has been a journey down memory lane. It has the same feel. setup was easy and the games come included. fun fun. Nothing has been changed, graphics in particular. I gave it 4 stars because they took away some functionality. for example, in the original system you can the joysticks had more functionality of re-starting the game etc. but in the flashback2.0 you have to get up everytime and use the console to start a new game, that is kind of a bummer. I have not fully explored it yet, so I might be wrong .. but the system is so simple n stripped that I do not see what I might have missed exploring .. ^M
