StanJr Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 While I'm not terribly interested in this (I already have all of those games on the REAL system), I am optimistic that it is a step in the right direction and that maybe someday we will see a re-release of an actual 2600 with cart slot and maybe some multi-carts or even just some games!

liveinabin Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I hope they use my Saboteur manual in the documentation. I was really happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I just wish you could see some $$$ from it, should they use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 That's why they won't use his Saboteur manual, because they would HAVE to pay for it. Again, I suspect this will be the last classic Atari release from Jakks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 maybe some multi-carts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Again, I suspect this will be the last classic Atari release from Jakks. Jakks? I thought the Flashback was an Atari exclusive. Not once have I seen it mentioned that there is an association with Jakks here. Looks like totally Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artlover Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I'm thinking it's probably something just like a Jakks console. Only in a big space wasting package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishicks Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I remember asking about something similar to this quite awhile ago. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...4611&highlight= I guess in a way it is actually happening. not quite the way I asked but its a start.

moycon Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Again, I suspect this will be the last classic Atari release from Jakks. This from the same guy who less than a week ago said there was no way in hell a product like this would ever be released in the first place? Your predictions are on par with Criswell's.

cimerians Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Darnit, I wish they were Atari 2600 joysticks. I also hope there is a save game feature....and 20 games is pretty lame. They should have popped in at least the entire Atari catalog of games. Oh well, better than nothing...I'll still pick one up, hopefully the emulation is perfect.

Atariboy2600 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 WOW this is a topic thats not going away any time soon, so far there's lots of posted message on this FLashback units and it's only the first month on the news of this console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 That's why they won't use his Saboteur manual, because they would HAVE to pay for it. I'm not sure how you figure that.... legally speaking no they wouldn't. At least they could certainly get away with it if they really wanted to. My guess is the author would have been more than willing to contribute the text for use in the Atari console if given that chance. Again, I suspect this will be the last classic Atari release from Jakks. Number one, its NOT from Jakks. Where did you get that idea from? Number two..... oh screw number two thru number eleventeen. This is getting pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well...hopefully better than the crappy Jakks 10-in-1 Atari joystick. Actually, if the emulation is THAT bad, I'm NOT getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I see this as a corporate ploy to go after emulation...nothing more. They killed emulation! Those bastards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give them away or sell them, but no one can take them from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 hopefully the emulation is perfect. Not a chance. The Jakks hardware doesn't seem to be able to do proper 2600 sounds. Even the unit that Digital Eclipse did didn't have accurate sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
