Tempy Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Licensing those games costs money. I know I'd be interested, but it probably wouldn't make financial sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bcombee Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 The earliest 2600 plug and play I've got in my collection has Activision games on it. I think I bought it around 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightytodd Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Flashback 2 had some Activision games. They pulled them out for the Flashback 2+ and replaced them with Atari sports games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 One idea I posted years ago was to sell a Flashback 2 with some Atari library classics, and some homebrews. I suspect that many homebrew authors would be happy to licence out their games for little or nothing just to have it on an official Atari product. They could have changed the included line-up every now and then for a new release: FB 2.1, FB 2.2, FB 2.3, etc. I think a couple of other folks thought that was actually a decent idea, but it never went anywhere.

Gregory DG Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 How about a Flashback that can read ROMs off of a flashcard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famicommander Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'd like to see them take the Neo Geo X route (except not crappy Tommo emulation and quality control). Sell small collections of games on SD cards, allow third parties to sell their own. If it were any sort of reasonable success most Atari 2600 IP holders would likely try to sell their own compilations, as there's not a lot of work involved in putting a few roms on a memory card.
