Reviews of the Atari Flashback 2

CNET Review
The Good: It's just like the old days: the Atari Flashback 2 is an homage to the original Atari 2600 game console, with 40 built-in retro classics from gaming's early days. The entire system costs less than most current PC and console games, and it includes two vintage joysticks. The system can even be hacked to play original 2600 cartridges.
The Bad: It's just like the old days: most of the titles suffer from simplistic and repetitive gameplay, and the graphics are downright rudimentary. Also, most titles are available in retro compilations you can get for PCs and consoles.
The Bottom Line: The Atari Flashback 2 delivers a genuine Atari 2600 retro gaming experience at an unbeatable price.
