Retro Atari Flashback 8 Gold HD (Electronic Games)

Product Information

It did however drive up sales for itself and all the systems currently in the market at the time, and helped motivate other competitors to enter the market. AtGames and other licensees have been offering Atari Flashback consoles (1 through 7) for years, but they have a different selection of titles built in. The fact that nobody did any serious play-testing for this, or that some serious Q/A issues existed in these areas aren't their fault, either.

It turns out it won't run or has severe issues with some original games as well, such as Berzerk ( LIST). He praised the controllers for their reduced size, finding them more comfortable to use, but he was disappointed that they are incompatible with the original 7800. Vendel hilariously tried to justify it by stating, "Give the Flashback a try, and give it a break, its actually a pretty nice little game console and while its not perfect (nothing but a real Atari is going to be perfect), its a lot of fun if you just play it and not critique it. ini" inside the atgames folder which is inside the system folder, the is where the file we are pulling is going to go, I put a ". As for the unreleased prototypes, there's a reason such games went unreleased or unfinished - they weren't fun to play.The version of Pac-Man included is a homebrew port that is more faithful to the original arcade game and not the original Atari 2600 port of Pac-Man released in 1982.

A Wikipedia page notes the Flashback system was designed by "Atari veteran Curt Vendel" and that it was "unpopular with some purists" (in other words, anybody who knows anything about classic games). Years later Vendel admitted the system is flawed, but felt that's okay because it plays more than the 40 built-in games and that's all Atari cared about. The same problems with them (being upside-down and too large for any controller but Flashback joysticks) exist.

The Atari Flashback 2 was released in August 2005, [9] [10] as an improved version of its predecessor. The joysticks are similar to the original Pro-Line controllers only smaller, with the addition of pause and select buttons. Fortunately, AtGames has used the time since to tweak overall performance and revamp the user interface. At this point, you might be asking yourself, why would Atari style it like a 7800 - a system that went all but unnoticed during the NES era - and not like the far-more-popular VCS/2600, especially since the majority of the games included were VCS/2600 titles? It seems that there are two different versions of the Flashback 8 gold (and the Genesis HD as well).
