We are venturing back to a time when everything was much simpler, a time when kids didn’t need cell phones and tablets, a time they actually got together in person to play games! Atari and Sega Genesis are coming back with the new Atari Flashback 8 Gold Console and the Sega Genesis Flashback Console! As a family who games, mostly the kids now because I can’t figure out how to play the games they play, I am super excited about the release of this! I think this will mean more family game nights and maybe mom and dad can be the ones schooling the kids!
The all-new Sega Genesis Flashback ($79.99) has a stunning new design, reminiscent of the original console, and features 85 built-in games as well as an integrated cartridge port that plays almost all of your favorite Sega Genesis and Mega Drive original cartridges. Built-in all-time favorites include the Sonic™ series, Mortal Kombat ™series, Phantasy Star™ series, and Shining Force™ series games. Two new high performance 2.4ghz wireless controllers, styled after the Sega Genesis originals, are included, as well as two legacy controller ports for optional wired gamepads. Other new features for the Sega Genesis Flashback include 720p HDMI output, scan line filtering, and a save/pause/rewind feature for every game. I CAN NOT WAIT to take on Sonic, I can’t even begin to tell you how many hours friends and I played that game.
The all-new Atari Flashback® 8 Gold ($79.99) features 120 built-in all-time favorites. Games include legends like Activision’s Pitfall! and Taito’s Space Invaders, as well as many other all-time Atari 2600 classics like Kaboom!™, River Raid™, Centipede™, and Millipede™. Two all new, high performance 2.4ghz wireless controllers, styled after the Atari 2600 originals, are included, as well as two legacy controller ports for optional wired joysticks or paddles. Other all new features for the Atari Flashback® 8 Gold include 720p HDMI output, scan line filtering, and a save/pause/rewind feature for every game. Centipede was one of my favorites!
