Title: Sega and Atari flashback!?
Post by: Scassidy24 on January 08, 2017, 12:48:50 pm
Not sure about these but I wanted to buy one of each right away. Has anybody seen them before?  Found at my local "Bed Bath and Beyon" of all places

I have the Atari flashback. I had two Versions of it. Sold the one with whacky controllers. Used the other. Menu was difficult to use. Game selection sucked. Daughter unscrewed the controller handle and I can't find it. Whatever. Just buy a real one. Or a raspberry pi.

I have not used those particular ones before but in my experience things like that are not as good a using emulators on a computer. If you just want to play Sega games get Kega fusion for Mac/PC or get a R-pi 3 and install retro pi.

Those gimmicks are a dime a dozen now. And from usual reviews, the games are poorly emulated/don't work. For a cheap price it's a cool toy, but even when you don't expect much, most people tend to give it crappy end reviews. I think the new mini nes was the best gimmick and that was fully licensed and made by Nintendo. Even that has problems. Buy it for a cheap thrill, but don't get too overly excited

It has a big problem (for me), no composite out.

I got the portable one for xmas with the sd card loaded.  The screen is nice and bright and its got one heck of a battery life..The controls are better than any iphone emu but then again anything with a button is better.  With the sd slot you can load it up with everything you can find and boy that a few games
