In Topic: New Atari Compatible Console & Controllers

Tue Sep 20, 2011 7:32 PM

I'm late in seeing this thread, but I'm super excited.

Price is no issue for me, although I'm wondering whether this console is supposed to be sold to the hardcore Atari fans only (resulting in a fairly high price), or if a wider audience is intended (where a lower price is essential).

Controller-wise I'd actually prefer a gamepad with either a d-pad or thumbstick. I use the 7800 gamepad on my 2600.

RGB Scart would be awesome :)

Will this new console be more than just a 2600/7800 and actually have new hardware features for making games with? (eg, improved resolution/sprite counts/colors/sound, etc.)

The console is running an emulator and maps the paddle games to the joysticks. However, if you plug paddles in, the paddle games will work with paddles as well.

Zavvi lists an SD card slot, but I assume they're mistaken - http://www.zavvi.com...3/10376114.html

So is this Flashback 3 worth getting? Is it easy to mod a cart slot in?

It looks less nice than the FB2 because they moved the joystick ports to the front.

EDIT: Okay, what does the final product actually look like?

EDIT2: Nevermind, I've been away from AtariAge for way too long and didn't notice the other threads. Derp.
