Doesn't work. Doesnt look like it ever would work.
Absolutely did not work no matter what setting my tv was on or anything. Console feels so light that im sure its just the casing anyway. I dont even think theres a single bit of circuit board inside of it at all. Worst part is seller marks it as "tested and works 100% fine" complete BS. And it would cost more to ship this thing back to the seller than i?would get back in the refund. Absolutely bullcrap. I want a new console as compensation. If not. This is 100% being reported as a scam and i will go to whoever i have to to handle it. Im extremely upset that something that was supposed to be a 20 dollar quick buy is turning into a nightmare.?

For the price of this system it is a must have.
It has 42 games from the classic atari ,some homebrews, and a few unreleased titles.
This is great for 2 players and time with family or friends.
It has many classics like pong, pitfall, asteroids etc.
Overall this is a very neat and fun system. it is very small but that just means it is more portable.
I highly recommend you buy one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Surprised by the low quality!
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2010

When I received an e-mail about being able to play some of my favorite Atari games from my childhood, I got very excited and started looking for the cheapest price for an Atari Flashback 2. Amazon had the best price, as usual, and also processed and shipped the order fast. :)

The selection of games on this system is really small and includes a lot of titles I've never played before. There was no Frogger or any other famous games. The most famous games included are Pitfall and Asteroid, which are actually not very exciting and get pretty boring fast! Now that I'm reading reviews, it's amazing how many people buy this product and are disappointed at how easily we were all entertained back then.

The unit also flashed multiple colors on the screen in a very fast strobe effect. I made sure it was switched to color and read all of the support pages. However, I could not fix it and some of the games (like Asteroid) were comletely unplayable. Only some colors would show oup on the screen, and others would strobe so fast they gave me a headache and made my eyes hurt. Pong was really the only game that was playable with the strobing.

I contacted Amazon about the problem and they did an RMA and sent me another unit. I plugged in the second unit and was extremely disappointed to find out it did the same thing. Instead of going through the hassle of returning it again, I'm just eating the price. Now it will just be a "model" that sits on the desk and looks like the old Atari game.

This system has very little appeal in its games and has major problems with the graphics. You would think after so many years (decades even) that making this technology work would be so much easier. However, it looks like making the tech work and harboring the fun that it used to be is an impossible task for Atari. This product is completely useless and I stongly recommened you resist the urge to buy the Atari Flaskback 2 for sentimental reasons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flashback indeed
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2010

If you were a kid growing up in the late 70's- early 80's, then more than likely you played an Atari 2600. The Atari Flashback 2 is a trip down memory lane. You get a decent sampling of some of the 2600's games, although the selection leaves out some of the best ones. No doubt for licensing reasons. Of the included 40 games, about 1/4 of them are unreleased or experimental games. Most feel unfinished or even broken. I consider them pretty useless. The remaining games are all playable, and are almost exactly the same as the original 2600 version. There are some audio and video bugs, but nothing major. The console itself is smaller and much lighter than the the original 2600. The button layout is different, but for the most part resembles a 2600 console. The difficulty buttons are orange push type buttons now, and seem useless. It's impossible to tell if they're pushed in or out, and seem to do nothing. The small instruction manual is completely useless. Luckily it isn't really needed. The best part of the hardware are the controllers. They look and feel exactly like original 2600 controllers.

On an ordering note, some people ordering from Amazon seem to be receiving the Flashback 2+ version of the game. The 'Plus' version removes Pitfall, River Raid, Wizard, Caverns of Mars, and Atari Climber. In return a sports section has been added that includes Realsports Boxing, Realsports Soccer, Super Baseball, Super Football, and Double Dunk. I recently ordered, and received the regular version.

2.0 out of 5 stars Product Images and Description INCORRECT
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2011
Verified Purchase
This system is clearly a later version that was re-released without the Activision games. Despite the images and the description, Pitfall and River Raid are NOT included. They were apparently pulled, and Amazon never bothered to update the images. They might change this in the future, but as of THIS writing, the main product image shows a box with Pitfall on the cover. This is not the box I received. It's a shame, as those were two of the games I was most looking forward to playing.

I am enjoying playing Haunted House and Combat again, as they were the first games I ever owned for my 2600 when I was a kid. But, other than those, Adventure and a few other classics, the included games just aren't that great. My old 2600 still worked last I checked, so I am probably better off digging it out and hooking it up. Luckily, this was only $35, but for the money you're better off getting one of the joysticks with 10 games. In the end, there are maybe only ten good games on this system.

Regarding the hidden games people have reported, they ARE on this system. Typically, I've only heard of Warlords and Super Breakout being on the hidden menu, but Circus Atari is also available on this system. These are paddle games that do not work with the included joystick controllers. Would have been nice for them to include an updated set of paddles OR include hidden games that will work with the joystick.

Side note: Other people have mentioned that in order to select a different game, you have to power the system off and then on again. This has proven true. Though that would be the same as the original system, that is kind of annoying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flashback indeed!!
Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2015

Nice collection of games the way we started many, many moons ago. Playing these gems tests one patience due to slow loading and lagging game play ( compared to today's games), but this Atari unit is purely a collectors item for those growing up in the era.

Overall, nicely compiled into 1 unit without the need of changing game cassettes (!), however even in today's times slightly too slow to load and operate. We'll keep this stashed away for the grand kids one day...
