My latest videos reviewed Pitfall! on the 2600, Jaws on the NES and Jurassic Park on the Genesis.
 

 

 

Nice selection of uncommon & obscure 2600 carts!

This is really cool Tempest 2000 arcade cabinet conversion done by Jeff Mathews at Classic Arcade Restorations, for Eric Clayberg. Eric posts:

That really does look like an actual Atari cab/artwork!

That's a bang-on assessment MaximumRD. The Flashback is what it is, the general public seems to have liked them. If you want the closest thing to real Atari hardware though stick with the 2 or 2+.

Oh yeah the original Flashback was really more of a testing the waters device, also uses NES-on a chip with the games being ports, and those included controllers work only with the unit. Later Flashbacks , well the 2 and 2+ were actually really good as they were re-engineered hardware based on original 2600 chipset, even has traces on the board where some modders added an cart slot for very good compatibility with original carts plus you can use original joysticks and paddles. From the 3 onward they were not designed by the same people but most buyers seemed satisfied, they mostly just change up the games list and amount of included titles. I have the Flashback 2 and I am happy with it as a convenience / conversation piece but my favorite thing is using my Harmony cart with one of my original Woody or Vader models.  

I've got 7800 games for you in the trading post.

Seeing Rowsdowers recent handheld pickups gave me the idea to post this, about the only one in my collection and not sure it really fits in the "handheld" catagory as it is pretty large lol (tabletop?) but here it is anyway my look at the Bambino Boxing videogame.

Description:
Intellivision & Colecovision UNBOXINGS ! 
Finally received the Pre-Order I had made several months ago! Though tempted to cancel due to some details that later came to light I decided to just wait it out and today I received both of the latest Flashback units from AtGames. These were purchased online from ToyR'Us in the USA and shipped to me here in Canada via iParcels (who seem to have done a fine job overall) I give lots of narration and details so please watch and listen and see for yourselves exactly what you can expect should you decide to pick either of these up. These units were about $40 USD (corrected from my video commented) plus an additional $35 to have both units shipped to my address. I mention both pros and cons of these systems as well should you be interested in the cables/adapters to make the Intellivision Flashback controllers compatible with the original console Buy the Flashback Controller Adapter Here:[/size]

Agreed!

In order to keep things fun for everyone, we ask that you play by a simple set of guidelines when interacting with fellow members in the Forums:
 
 
1. FREE SPEECH & FREE EXPRESSION

(See Hitchens, Christopher). We strongly advocate free speech and free expression, in our forums and throughout the world. Free speech and free expression are what separate us from savages. We firmly believe you have the right to make your own decisions and we allow you maximum freedom to do so within our forums. With maximum freedom comes maximum personal responsibility. Use your free expression constructively as we will not allow our forums to descend into Lord of the Flies.
 
We are not going to disagree with your opinion, deem it inappropriate, and ban you. Quite the contrary. There's nothing we enjoy more than fostering debate. But that debate must be among respectful adults who know where to draw the line. It's the difference between a fencing match and a drive-by.
 
 
 
2. "YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE A FIST ENDS AT ANOTHER PERSON'S FACE"

That is to say, your right to freely express yourself in our forum ends when it infringes upon another person's rights. And it goes without saying that we’ll delete anything which could be construed as inappropriate at any time for any reason. We will not be held responsible for your views nor the views of fellow forum members. We’re all grown ups, so please be respectful, constructive and make it count.
 
 
 
3. BE NICE

This is a nice place with nice people. We're a community of like-minded classic gamers with shared interests, and we all found our way here for similar reasons. Our common love of Atari, classic gaming, and retro culture should be a catalyst for treating each other with genuine courtesy and shared respect, regardless of how strongly we disagree on a topic. If you're banned elsewhere you shouldn't try to join Atari I/O.
 
 
 
4. DON'T BE A "GOON"

Goons troll, instigate, spread negativity, beg for free stuff, monopolize conversations, complain incessantly, lack basic civility, and ruin the good experience for everybody else.
 
NO TROLLING NO FLAME WARS NO SPAMMING NO POLITICS OR POLITICAL IMAGERY NO DOXING  NO BEGGING NO ILLEGAL FILE SHARING NO PERSONAL ATTACKS / HARASSMENT NO FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION NO FALSE FLAGS NO CLICKBAIT / MISLEADING / MYSTERY TOPIC TITLES NO BLIND / MISLEADING HYPERLINKS NO ABUSE OF EDITS / VANDALIZING THREADS NO DISHONEST HIGH SCORES NO LEWD / CREEPY BEHAVIOR WE'RE NOT A COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT RESPECT EVERYBODY'S RIGHT TO BE HEARD BE POSITIVE! REFRAIN FROM SPREADING NEGATIVITY ONE ACCOUNT PER PERSON  
Don't be a goon or you will be removed, quickly.
 
 
 
5. ACT AS THOUGH YOU'RE ENTERING OUR HOME

This is a privately owned website that we put time, effort, and money into creating and maintaining. This is not the public square. It's also not the complaint hotline for other websites. We ask that you conduct yourself as you would a guest at a party in someone's home. A likable party guest doesn't drag drama and negativity from the outside world and other websites into somebody else's home, and they don't use your backyard as a platform to complain loudly about your neighbor. They don't beg for handouts, and they're polite when others are generous. Likable party guests aren't negative, cringy, overtly political, divisive, critical or argumentative in a friendly setting. A likable guest has civility and knows to leave politics and divisive topics at the door, and doesn't push agendas or political imagery on you as they enter your home. We leave the noise of the outside world at the door and come in with a blank slate make new friends with shared interests and have a good time - not find topics that foment reasons for us to dislike each other. A likable party guest is polite and thoughtful toward the other guests, knows how to  get along with others and enjoy the party. Please treat our forums and your fellow members the way you would want to be treated.
 
 
 
 
6. BE HONEST IN YOUR TRADES

(SEE 3, 4, & 7)
 
 
 
7. NO PRESALES
 
Presales of products that do not yet exist are NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES in the forums. DO NOT use the forums to directly solicit money for products that are not yet complete or projects that are still in development. Even with the best intentions, sincere promises of "ready to ship in six months" many times become tumultuous as months turn into years or even a decade without fulfillment. Please wait until your product is READY TO SHIP before soliciting sales in our forums.
 
 
 
8. HANDLE YOUR OWN BUSINESS

We're not mommy. Clean up after yourself, try not to make a mess and handle your own affairs.
 
 
 
9. RESOLVE QUARRELS PRIVATELY

We will not allow bickering, petty fights, personal problems, passive aggressiveness, drama and general negativity to infect this forum. Disagreements are part of life, it's how those disagreements are handled that counts. Address them in a respectful way. Resolve your quarrels privately rather than dragging them into the forums for everybody to suffer through.
 
 
 
10. TRY TO BE INTERESTING, MAKE FRIENDS & HAVE FUN!

Enjoy!

Thinking back to good times at Kay-Bee Toy Stores in the mall. My first Atari came from Sears, but almost every game I ever bought for Atari, Nintendo, all the way up through Dreamcast, most often came from Kay-Bee in our local mall. It's always fun to share these memories this time of year. Hope you guys have some fond Kay-Bee memories too!
