Won Hung Lo

This may seem a stupid question to some of you guys, but what is the big hurdle in the installation of a SD slot on these Flashback consoles? Is it cost, legalities or something else?

Bill, I truly appreciate your offer, but my funds are a little depleted right now. Rest assured though, when I decide to purchase a console I hope it's from one of you fine fellows. By the way, I appreciate everyone taking the time to reply to my many questions. You all are a wealth of knowledge.

Steve, it does sound like there's a lot of exciting opportunities ahead for those of the Intellivision community. Even absent the third party titles and homebrews, the new Flashback sounds like it will have a sizeable count of classics and the convenience of the plug and play can't be denied. Atgames has done a masterful job of replicating the classic console look and the controllers look pretty much spot on. I realize a cartridge slot isn't practical or feasible, but if reception is strong for the Flashback we can only hope for the continuation of the line with additional games or a SD slot. I purchased the 25 in 1 Intellivision plug in play in the past and really enjoyed it, although I have read that it's a poor representation of the actual games. That's great news to me! I have a lot to look forward to. I have no doubt I will acquire a classic console to enjoy the entire library and support homebrews too. I feel the same excitement I did as a kid when I first discovered the 2600. One more question for everyone this pertains to, how has your experience been with purchasing consoles off ebay?

Thanks Jason for the tips. That's exactly the route I am going to take. I don't consider myself a collector so I'm not interested per say in the boxes and carts. I would just like to be able to play the games on the original hardware and with the original controllers. A multicart is definitely the way to go. By the way guys, a lot of folks really dislike the controllers. Are they really that bad? On the other hand, the games are widely heralded.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone as I'm new here. As a kid, I never was blessed to own an Intellivision. I only found out they existed about ten years ago. I have almost pulled the trigger several times to buy one, but for one reason or another I never did. I am really exited to learn of this flashback model to be able to get a feel for the controllers and the games. I certainly hope this community and the public at large supports this endeavor so we may see future renditions with more games and additional features. Accordingly, this flashback could be the impetus to nudge me into purchasing an old console.
