Flashback 8 isn't just a Flashback, it's Gold!

Nintendo's 2016 NES Classic brought retro gaming nostalgia to a fever pitch, but it wasn't the first affordable box to offer plug-and-play old school video games. AtGames has been cranking out mini game consoles full of nostalgic titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Centipede and Pitfall for the past few years. And now the company is refreshing its Atari and Sega models for 2017.

Due in September -- not coincidentally, the same month Nintendo's mini-SNES Classic hits -- the Atari Flashback 8 Gold packages several dozen Atari 2600 games from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Pricing has yet to be confirmed, but AtGames' website lists it as $79.99.

I posted the official final game lists for all of the 2017 AtGames products on Armchair Arcade: http://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/

 

The only one missing is the Atari Flashback 8 Gold Activision Edition Console because we're still waiting on confirmation on one of the titles.

the only bad thing about it is this wireless controller crap, im sick of unnescesary devices that require batteries, atari is meant to be played on the floor in front of the tv damn it!!!, just got home from work wanna play some atari, but the damn batteries in the joystick are flat, now i gotta run to the store to buy some AA's... whats the point of atari being cordless? play it from 8 meters away in the kitchen?

Then plug in wired controllers, or buy the $60 SD (not "gold") version.

 

I greatly prefer wireless -- I don't want to be tethered to my 60" screen, and I don't want to sit on the floor.

I too am thrilled at the idea of this being wireless, it's gonna sit pretty beside my HDTV and I'm going to sit back on the couch. Now, my only problem is going to be finding a solution for Kaboom ...........
