Atari Flashback

Yes, I was a child who grew up loving my Atari 2600. What is wrong with that? With the digital pixels dancing around the screen in a plethora of different ways, it was fun. Heck, it was magical to say the least. Yesterday my sister mentioned something to me about a new Atari system coming out that she had seen a commercial for. With thoughts of the Atari Jaguar dancing through my head, I was shocked and scared. Then I happened to take a trip to the Atari Web site and all was made clear.

With the success of those ten games in one controller type devices, Atari has decided to put out a mock system. Why is it a mock you say? Well, the reason being is you can’t plug any old games into it, but it does come with a great selection of titles incased inside.

The Atari Flashback Classic Game Console plugs right into your TV set and allows these younger gamers to see that magic you once knew and loved.

Flash back to the 80s this holiday season!

Relive the 1980s video game revolution! Go back in time with a retro-style game console that includes 20 classic Atari games and two Atari 7800-inspired joysticks!

Just plug into your TV, and play away! One or two players can enjoy the famous games that set the standard for greatness.

No extra game systems needed, no additional software, no worries. Just the perfect gift for the 80s generation… and their kids!

That is what I am talking about! It sends chills down my spin just thinking about it. Some of the titles include: Adventure, Air-Sea Battle, Battlezone, Breakout, Canyon Bomber, Crystal Castles, Gravitar, Haunted House, Millipede, Sky Diver, Solaris, Sprintmaster, Warlords and Yars’ Revenge.

So let us teach those of a younger generation about how great games were without 3D graphics and state of the art game play. Let us all take an old school look back at our history.
