When I was a child used to visit my neighborhood friend , and he had one of these Atari . When he gave me to try and play it felt as if I am touching heaven with my hands . It felt like this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life :))
Back in my day, there were Atari orchards as far the eye can see.
I remember the first Atari Flashback including some 7800 games. Would love to see AtGames (or whomever) deliver a 5200 and/or a 7800 Flashback, instead of just updating their 2600 units every year or so.
I would like to see a 7800 flashback with all the games including midnight mutants, fatal run, mean 18 golf, and ninja Golf
@@marccaselle8108 Midnight Mutants maybe a bit hard to re-release as it used Al Lewis's likeness so depending on the deal they had, they may have to get permission from his estate
@@The_Real_DCT figures.
They should make a Flashback that has the Atari arcade games, like the arcade version of Asteroids.
got my first 2600 at jcpenney in 1981
Paperclown your dad was a very wise man.
fucking finally they got the pitfall license
Well I got Atari 2600 Flashback 8 with wired controller at Target for my Christmas Present when I was a 17 year old teen since Christmas 2017
Aquaventure rules!!
I’ve often wondered why Atari never released it?
I can only imagine how cool the TV commercial would’ve been!
Is it just me, or is Mark immortal? It seems that way given how he looks the same back in 2010 as he does now. So it's obvious that he's a Highlander and he's using CGR as a means to hide the truth.
Some people age better than others, and this due to how you keep yourself from any sort of aliments that can cause your body to age in a way that makes you look 10 years older than your actual age.
Mark here looks great because he probably keeps himself healthy and fit, which causes some great results in the long run!
ZeldaTheoristb211 You're right, and it's not just his looks that have stayed the same, it's also the excellency of his videos.
Well his editing skills have always been on point!
Y'know what they say? *Once you edit good, you never forget!* XD
So it appears Araki (Creator of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) has been showing his secret techniques to others.
It's the high exposure to all the blast processing.
A couple Christmases ago I asked my grandmother to get me an Atari Flashback for Christmas. I had and still have an obsession with Retro games. But that was before I discovered the magical world of... Emulators (would prefer to play on actual hardware)
Thanks for including the shots of all the games available, happy to see a few I recognize. Before Atari, we had a Gemini system, I think that's what it was called, with games like Mouse Trap, and I think Donkey Kong was used with that system too, or maybe they were interchangable with the Atari console?? Foggy memory, good times! ;)
Great review. Was wondering about the HDMI. The Sharp 32" 1080p TV I use as my computer monitor plays all my old systems just fine on Channel 3 & 4 (tried Atari Pinball console, Atari Home Computers, Odyssey 2, Intellvision to name a few - all work and look fine).
Ordered the book btw...
Just got one as a Christmas from my wife love it brings back memories when I had the original 2600 Atari gaming console
Any idea if it comes with the Swordquest comic books? I know they can be downloaded, but included physical copies would be nice.
Gotta get me one of those sweaters
My Atari Flashback's are piling up! I have all of them since Flashback 1! I wonder how many more Flashback's there will be??
Mark, I will be getting an Atari Flashback 2 today. I haven't played an Atari game in like 14-15 years. Hello Retro gaming!!
The original 1980s paddles work on the flashback 8 gold or are you using at games paddles
Please do atari flashback portable system 2017 version that has Namco games on it
Did anyone notice the flash back box has the new AtariBox logo?.
Marc, any chance we'll be offered your book on the Canadian side?
I love break out I first played it in a laundromat eating stale nuts out of a Lance machine and a broken paddle
does anyone have the full list of the games anywhere?!
I still have my Atari 2600 from 1981 and I would like to get this, been using emulators for a long time and a real console here and there but they are just a pain in the ass in so many ways. This looks easy to set up and has the proper controllers! I have never gotten used to using a gamepad for the old classic games.
I sat through an ad for you bro!
Awesome review! Thx
Do the wireless controllers work on other things?
Do you know of where I can find some ENBs or 4K texture packs for those Attari games?
Aw christmas and Fall is here soon thank goodness this year is gona go out with a bang man!!
It looks better than previous flashbacks, and Im glad it has some Activision games. But I still wish it had a cartridge or a SD card slot for roms like the Flashback Portable did. And how about some 7800 games too??
What would be the best retro game console be then then?
Crystal Castles 2600 - know how much you loved that one! ;)
I recently cleaned my 2600 paddle controllers. It's not that hard to do.
For the Atari Flashback 9, AT@Games really needs to include an Atari 2600 cartridge slot. That way you can play any games that might be missing on their list of preinstalled titles. Come on. How hard could it be to develop an Atari 2600 on a chip like they have for their SEGA Genesis Flashback console?
Does it have pac
I love how you blast (the amazing) Sean Zoltek! trololol lol
I kinda want one of these but I'll wait a few months when it'll be half off at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Can you do a video on the atari 2600 hd by telling every game on them so we know which one to buy. No one has done it yet.
Does the Atari Flashback 8 Gold Activision Edition have every game that is on this version?
Scott Manns no, off the top of my head it's missing Frogger, Front Line and Jungle Hunt.
Does anyone know how the wireless controllers are? I thought Mark said that the Flashback 7 had terrible wireless controllers that had to be pointed at the console.
RetroGameFreakHd they are okay, they are wireless as opposed to infared but they do eat batteries pretty fast
Oh man... this console has better Atari 2600 games than the Atari Flashback collections for Xbox One and PS4! Not sure about the PC alternative, as I haven't played that yet.
what are the games at 6:17 and 6:20
I might buy this sometime.
I thought my paddle controllers were toast. But after looking up a tutorial on cleaning them and following the directions, they're good as new. Now I just gotta get me some games. All I have is Warlords, which is a snooze with only one player.
Does it have missile command?
I have this system and there are certain games such as Centipede and crackpot that I can't move the joystick left and right. Anyone else having this issue?
Good job on getting 10K views!
Where exactly do you buy this
I want Atari computer stuff. The Atari 800 and the XL and XE machines were legit.
What is the game on 2:19 ?
Can't wait until they release one for the 5200
Pdoes it have Pressure Cooker??
I noticed the sound is off in Pitfall, looks like AtGames didn't care on sound emulation
Hey did you play Atari 760XLS?
That sweater is so amazing!
it is Pittfall 2 included?thanks!
Do you have a NX?
Does this somehow connect to an old analog TV ?
arschflugkoerper007 not with the Gold version or the Gold Activision version(same thing just with 39 Activision and Imagic games and a few others removed like Jungle Hunt and Frogger) as those are HDMI out only. The Flashback 8 standard you can as that uses RCA/Component video out and has the same games as the Gold version but not Gold Activision edition.
i still have Atari flashback 8 gold its great
Maybe the flashback 9 will include 7800 and 5200 games and resemble a 2600 darth vader, 2600 jr, 5200, or 7800.
There's an Activision edition too which has 133 games. That's the one I'll try to get.
It's great
Dude, where did you get your hat from? Its as if Terry Boogard sponsored Atari. Joking aside, it looks pretty cool.
I'm an Atari fan too
That Atari Flashback 9 has an SD card that allows you to download and play almost any 2600 game. There is a way to add games to the Fashback X, but you need a OTG adapter cable.
Pitfall! That takes me back.
"Atari 8 gold makes a perfect gift for that Atari person in your life"
Me thinking: my mom
Is "Custer's revenge" on it, though?
I want a Tiger electronics flashback Gold!
How many games were made for the 2600?
Wheels8504 425
Wow, I didn't know Mark got an Ataribox early!
I tend to shy away from anything by AtGames due to awful audio and uncomfortable controllers. How does this one fair?
vtnwesley but uncomfortable controllers are part of the Atari experience you're paying for the realism
vtnwesley I suggest getting the atari flashback 2 or 2 plus. It has less games, but it also has wired controllers and I found one on ebay for 8 bucks in good shape.
The sound is only really a problem with the sega flash backs. It's pretty difficult to mess up the sound with these kinds of games.
This one is still compatible with the wired controllers, but the infrared controllers are what is bundled. Either way, they're meant to look like the 2600 joy sticks, so they're not great either way. I recommend getting a 9-pin plug controller from 8-bitdo or retrobit.
Oh man I wish it was Xmas time like his sweater it's way too hot
time for an atari 7800/5200 flashback.
Yeah, but does it have Philly Flasher?
or Truxton
Atari Flashback Ate Gold
Flashback 9 needs a sd card slot like the flashback portable.
Games look great
Huh? I never knew there was a sequel to Yar's Revenge! I don't see it in my MAME ROM collection. :(
Yes the original was successful for Activision so they had one in the pipeline and it was done, then the 1st video game crash happen = Never released.
what's the game at 2:44 ? i played that as a little kid but can't remember the name
Beamrider
Can you put Atari cartrage games in this system
GamerGirlMaster you can mod it, but it does not come with a slot, no.
Yeah since there are soo many atari 2600 systems produced with real wood on the front, you can assume that each atari 2600 has it's own wooden texture on it.
Now the world is running out of trees so now we have to use plastic instead for those flashback versions of it.
It works with a genesis controller!
Are Sega Genesis controllers compatible? Are the included wireless joystick controllers still infrared?
Thought you were getting a phone call on your Nokia 3310 but that was just the select screen on the atari
At this point they should really have more games but I think my dad would get a kick out of this for Christmas. I love me some 2600 but I'll wait for the Retron77
Drink a Beer and Play a Game hi
Guess this means you'll be reviewing the latest variant of the Sega Genesis one as well.
Need the Imagic stuff.
Finally, they added HDMI.
You convinced me
That's a bad ass sweater
Activision game are the ones I like the most on the Atari 2600. Hero and Mega Mania are probably my favorites.
I love Atari 2600 but isn't it time to start stretching out a bit with these plug and plays? What about Atari 8-bit, 5200, 7800, Lynx and Jaguar? Or why not have a plug and play dedicated to Atari's arcade titles? The 5200 especially had some beautiful games that were practically unplayable thanks to the horrible controls. Would love a 5200 plug and play with good controls.
The 5200 unfortunately would see the same death as it did back then. For one there isn't all that big of a catalog on the system neither for any the other systems besides the 8bit home computer range. As for the 5200 and controls the sad part is the controllers would have to be analog again -80's analog not modern analog (they're different concepts). Reason being is the games were written for analog controls meaning potentiometer like values used for the IO read and write. 5200 is best left alone
MOS6507-1.19MHz I didn't know the technical parameters -- just that the 5200 had awful controls. I guess there will never be an improvement on that -- what a waste. Having said that, the 8-bit computer versions were pretty much the same as the 5200 graphically, so there is still possibility there.
Jeff Melchior, there was a 7200 system plug in play back in the day, not sure what happened to it.
7800. And i think it was before the one you could solder a slot onto. IIRC the emulation was a bit flaky as it used a nintendo (yes nintendo) on a chip design.
It would be good if it came with paddles as well
It's silly to include a huge poster, but then to use the picture of the Fisher Price looking unit instead of the awesome "Heavy Sixer" Atari 2600!
Nintendo included a poster of, not only the original NES, but also R.O.B. and the Zapper, 2 NES accessories not included or even compatible.. but it's still awesome looking and worthy of hanging on your wall.
is anyone else having an issue where some of the games wont work
Tempest for the 2600 (unreleased) is an interesting case study in a game trying to do something that is really not possible. I'll say this, it's recognizably a Tempest adaptation. If you squint really hard.
Which is likely why it was shelved.
Dear Mark please do a unboxing of the new godzilla film the came to DVD and blu ray that came out on August first
whats comes next? ATARI FLASHBACK 8 Platin with Atari 2600 Games in 4K? XD
I suppose being able to easily play these games on modern TVs is a plus...
I love Aquaventure
Atgames needs to make and bundle an Atari trackball for Missile Command and Centipede.
PLEASE ATGAMES, MAKE THAT HAPPEN!
