Why aren't there Atari 2600 clone consoles?

TV Boys are kinda neat

Lol! I love how the "Super" model has a whopping one game increase over the other 2! Now THAT'S ingenious marketing!!

When I think about Atari 2600 clones, I usually think of the Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade and the Coleco Gemini. I actually owned the Coleco Gemini for a short while during the summer of 1985, and it was a pretty interesting system to have around with its joystick/paddle controller combo. I saw the Video Arcade II model in a Sears store in 1982 and mistakenly thought that it was an Atari 5200 clone system that Sears was marketing under license. I still like the look of that particular model, though.

 

Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade isn't a clone, it is the real thing made by Atari. The Coleco Gemini is definitely a clone though.

There is a 2600 clone called "Rambo" it was a cheaply made one from China and claims to have over 200 games built into it.

So it's better than the Flashback series of consoles?

That "Activision JV 8900" is really something!! There are a few more shots of it here http://atariage.com/forums/topic/71149-sold-the-activision-console-vj-8900-fs/

 

A small part of me wishes the Retron77 were more like these clones, instead of "just" another emulation box, but that's OK -- it's neat that the 2600 gets as much attention as it does!
