    Easier to use (if it will let you have joysticks and paddles always plugged in), easier to fix, cool new features, and no expensive modding necessary is the opposite of pointless.

     

    Good points but you forgot the one huge downside of today's cheap ass electronics - durability. I can't imagine a 2600 clone manufactured today can last 20+ years like a real 2600. I doubt it would even last 3+ years so you would have to get it fixed or buy a new console every few years. And It's quite likely that it would be as cheaply manufactured as most NES/SNES clones i've seen. Another huge reason why i have zero interest in a new 2600 clone is compatibility. If it isn't 100% compatible with every 2600 game (quite unlikely IMO) like a modded FB 2 with cartridge port - NO THANKS!

    For the average person who just wants to relive their childhood a little you have to understand that many people will stop trying to get it to work when they realise the little forks on the rf switcher have nowhere to connect on a modern tv.

     

    Sure but wouldn't emulation be good enough for those people? It's easy enough to download and install Stella and grab a few roms from the web.

    There was a very interesting/unique game with a Panda (forgot the full name, it was a strange name...) but I think it's not available...

     

    That's Panky the Panda. It's an awesome platformer and AFAIK it will be in the AA-Store eventually. You can grab the final/latest version from the programmer's site.

    Someone was working on a Robot Finds Kitten port about 10 years ago. I don't remember how far he got, but if RFK is possible, Rogue (or Nethack, or Moria) should be, albeit with some extra RAM unless you're gonna have the same dungeon every time.

     

    RFK 2600 hasn't been finished AFAIK - looks like it uses the same "technique" to display text as Dark Mage...

    And here's another neat "Rogue-like" RPG for the 2600: Radiant Force.
