All very nice in principle, but these games are really naff now.

Very expensive for the 10 mins or so novelty value use it will get by most people.

My artwork is on the back of the box for this (I did the cover for the game, Saboteur). Happy days.

You will never age.

Great fun in their day, Absolutely loved my Atari. Wonder what todays generation of kids will make of these basic games. shame there is no Pacman on this unit

Worst experience, my 5 years old hate it :disappointed:

That was a very different game. It was also very good though. There was a sequel to that as well, I do remember playing that a LOT.

It's back to £39.99

No defender, no river raid - combat was pretty naff on single player... However, do check out a PXP2 - around £12 from eBay / Amazon. Tonnes of sega favourites, can plug into a TV. Worth a look, some good reviews on YouTube.

sure emulation is a better way forward ?? a pi zero could do this

I've no idea what happened to my original 2600, I'm sure it never broke and I wouldn't have sold it... Are the 'real' ones still kicking around, or are they all broken or extortionate these days? (The proper 'wood' ones, not the later plastic ones)

PS: the spectrum on a 55 inch TV is pretty epic, both my kids like it despite piles of significantly more powerful hardware being available. I think the tapes and load time are the only thing they were a little miffed about.

For people considering this, remember...

.. Nostalgia is not as good as it used to be.

Oh I was just making a sweeping generalisation! :smile: I actually grew up on 8bit and had a C64 and NES- still feel that a lot of those games struggle to hold up, but there are loads of exceptions. Chrono Trigger is a brilliant game which I definitely need to replay at some point!

No E.T. or Empire Strikes Back :disappointed:

Slightly before my time but i've played a couple of those games and they have really dated.

Personally I feel the 16bit era is the best for "retro" gaming. The games were no longer constrained by hardware/controller issues, so many of them continue to be extremely playable. I'm currently playing through Secret of Mana with my two boys- they absolutely love it! :innocent:

Yes you're right, my friend has the Mini Nintendo Classic and Pac Man on that is a lot closer to the arcade version than the awful Atari port which as you'll see from the video I posted earlier in this thread truly is dreadful.

PacMan on the Atari 2600 (f*king dreadful) >

Ms PacMan (some one learnt how to program the Atari 2600 and did a better job with this game) >

Homebrew port (better than all of the above and can run using Harmony cartridge directly on a Atari 2600) >

Atari 2600 Harmony cartridge (Interfaces SD cards to the Atari 2600, the SD card obviously containing multiple games) >

The Atari 2600 with Harmony Cartridge is better than this deal but not as cheap.

Good find but fancy getting an old NES for a laugh this xmas

Shame no defender- recall 'clocking' that on my mate's Atari, circa 1982.

I'm right in thinking that most of these games require no more thought than 'UP', 'DOWN', 'LEFT' and 'RIGHT' in various combinations? Some of them like Pong are maybe just 'UP' and 'DOWN? I'm not saying that these can't be fun but if there's something more involved on the table then these won't have any longevity. I don't think it's wrong to acknowledge that games back then were limited by the hardware they ran on.

Yes but it shows I am old, I had it for my 18th birthday. Lol.

Don't bother it's rubbish I bought one and it's crap sorry everyone

Hear for the price, but this is a Christmas Day 5 minutes of fun and that's about it really

Still got my original one.

The reviews are terrible for it.. cheap plastic.. IR controllers..

Nice one op

I've still got 2 Atari's in the loft :')

Thought about trying the Mega Drive one though :smiley:

Been a die hard Ninty fan since I was old enough to hold a Gameboy, and somehow managed to bag a NES in Smyths.

Gutted at how badly some of the games have aged.

All very nice in principle, but these games are really naff now.

Very expensive for the 10 mins or so novelty value use it will get by most people.

I'd buy this just to look cool on the AV rack.
Heated.

I've just come back from the US and bought for the Xbox one but also available for ps4 both volumes of flashback classics 1 and 2. Import that from US if you prefer. Its not out in Europe and no plans to.

Pacman, combat, defender, frogger and space Invaders... All a growing boy needs!

looks a good price ... seems to be £54+ everywhere else.

Didn't enjoy this product.

Overpriced IMO. But a good product

good find op, heat added
