I have two of the newer Flashbacks (the 9 Gold and the 50th) and enjoy them for what they are, but I think the Flashback plug-and-plays are now a bit redundant given the release of the Gamestation Pro, which supports more game types right out of the box. I was surprised when they released the Flashback 12 this fall, but it seems as long as it sells they'll keep making it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Some ideas off the top of my head... Frenzy (7800 homebrew) Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest (7800 homebrew) Kangaroo 7800 (new) New Trackball Controller to use with: Missile Command 2600 Enhanced Missile Command 7800 (new) Crystal Castles 7800 (new) Millipede 7800 (new) New Driving Controller to use with: Indy 500 Enhanced 2600 Sprint Master Enhanced 2600 Super Sprint 7800 (new)

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up Atari 50 for $29.99, plus Donut Dodo and Sigi - A Fart for Melusina for $3.75 each.

Konami, Taito, Data East and Activision were also on Flashbacks.

Screenshot from MyArcade's Facebook story. Box says 200+ games on the Gamestation.

This sounds interesting. 2600, 7800 and arcade games.

Amazon just charged my card for the Flashback 50th Gold I pre-ordered there a few weeks back. Should be shipping soon.

I took another look at the MyArcade web site. My guess is they'll be releasing Atari-branded items similar to these existing MyArcade products.

Re: the joystick. Looks like there vents on the bottom. And smaller vents on the top. So maybe it’s more than just a joystick but has some built in games. Just a guess of course. I’m also guessing it will be fully revealed at CES in a few days. The other picture looks to be one of myArcade’s micro or mini players. Previous micro players were based on NES roms and mini players (bigger size) used arcade roms. We’ll see what they come up with for Atari.
