Does anyone know anything about this? Weren't these only available in black?

I just tried Tempest 4000 for the Xbox One, and I think the controls are awful, but only on "round" levels. Sometimes I press left to go right when stopped. Also I thought a more appropriate control is to use the analog stick as a radial control. Just roll the left stick to indicate the position along the orbit where you are, not left to go anticlockwise, right to go clockwise. You got analog controls. Why not use them? For the modern systems, why isn’t there a 2600-> PS4 and a 2600->X1. They obviously make them for PC. You need them for Paddles, Trackballs, Spinners, Indy 500 controller, and Keypad (maybe, but a USB numeric would work too). Since Nintendo makes Labo kits, why not Atari make a plastic Labo-like Joycon attachment. First Paddle games already work with Switch Wheel. If you keep both hands on the wheel, there is a natural limit to how far clockwise and anticlockwise you can rotate it. Second for Trackball games, a Joycon could be placed in a hamster ball for trackball games, and have radio controller manaul button pressers for the up to 6 buttons on the Single Joycon. Third, a similar setup, except with a cylinder for Major Havok. Fourth, a joycon could be put in a similar device with a wheel that you spin. Finally, for the light gun games, a visible light "camera gun" could be used to literally shoot the targets, instead of using a cursor that centers automatically. Do other people agree with me, that Atari controls on modern systems are not well thought out with the default controllers? The analog stick does like to center, and I think that hurts most Atari analog games, especially paddle games. -
On November 26th, NY Times published an article on it's website called "From Atari (Remember It?), a New Console With Old Games." This is an interesting take on the Flashback from the point of view of someone who isn't an Atari fan. It's always good to see an Atari console making the news-- even if it's a remake of the console. You can read the article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/24/business/atari-flashback-video-games.html What's your idea of the Flashback and how it's represented in the article? Adam

Just like it says...I own several Atari consoles (2600, 7800 & 5200) and am now considering a Flashback. In short I'd like to know which one (1 through 6?) you like the best and why you would recommend it. In addition, if someone has a Flashback that accepts actual 2600 carts and would like to part with it, (maybe to make some $$ for the upcoming Flashback Portable), I would be interested in making an offer. Thanks everyone and happy gaming! -Steve

SuperCharger Space Invaders Boys and Girls picks up where Beta 4 left off with increasingly progressive action and interactive immersive soundscapes that draw you into the game! Gameplay: It's Space Invaders but now they've got the shields and there's less time so dodge fast and try to hit everything! Weapons: You are equipped with dual laser cannons that fire multicolor bursts in parallel - the second shot will continue to seek a target after the first one hits something. Goal: How many levels can you clear? How many without being hit? The game pink screens when you are hit and red screens when you lose (you may be able to recover), eventually disintegrating into a kaleidoscopic demo over time. Help expand the study: Take both game ROM's for an immersive test run (clear at least 5 levels), do you agree with the test group? If participating in the study please indicate if you used a classic Atari console, a Retron77 running Stella 6 and/or the latest build of Stella with enhanced sound, or an Atari Flashback or earlier version of Stella, or another emulator.
