Just an FYI, do your research, I could be wrong but my understanding regarding the Flashback 9 is old paddles are not compatible, new FB 9 specific paddles are apparently coming but I do not know the status of it. 

I think we've all clamored for that SD card slot, so I think I'm going to go ahead and get one of these!
 
 

At least an option for those considering a Flashback 9 ?

Welcome to the Atari I/O Forums @RockyRaccoon! I'm glad you found your way here, and a special thank you to the @nosweargamer for getting the word out about the forums! I hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any questions just ask. It's a friendly community and everybody here is very welcoming and helpful.

I'm new around here! My name is 'Dan' but I go by the online moniker 'Rocky Raccoon'. I've been collecting since about my teen years. I am currently 34. I like collecting a heck of a whole lot, and have a varied collection of consoles. My favorite era is probably the mid eighties, onwards. The first two machines I ever played on we're an Atari 2600 in my dad's basement on a B&W TV, and my Dad's Commodore 64. My favorite retrogame series is The Fantasy Zone series of games.
I was first introduced to collecting through a dear old friend back in MA, USA, and have been in the hobby since. I've been learning to get into the technical side of the hobby-- learning to fix consoles-- diagnose problems and fix them, though I still have a long ways to go-- though I do have a background in electronic schematic reading thanks to CAD courses I took in high school that have generally helped me a bunch there.
I learned about this place primarily through the NoSwearGamer on Youtube where this place was mentioned once in a while, and decided to come check it out. I also hang around AtariAge with the same user name.

Fries up!!
 

Think I'll play it right now!

One of my all time favorites to this day. Top 5 of greatest games for the 2600.

@Kid A uses enhancement drugs!!! Some one make him drop a UA sample in a cup please. LOL

I have always loved "Asteroids." I remember playing the game as a kid in the 1980s. Sometimes, I would get over 35,000 points. Maybe over 70,000 points, if I am not mistaken. Great game. Certainly a classic, but it is great nonetheless.
NOTE: By the way, I am the kind of person that loves getting a high score in a classic game over unlocking great achievements in a modern game with DLC. It just makes for great goal setting that way. The modern games, although still good, kind of take that away from the goal. Some do not even have a score anymore. I can understand that with JRPGs, but it can  be less fun sometimes to me anyway. When I was a kid, high scores were the thing. Same with a lot of you guys, I am sure. I loved those days.

I do!

2600 Asteroids was one of those "Wow!" games for the system.  As in "how the heck did they pull this off?".  I can remember playing and playing and playing, and a bunch of other kids at school were doing the same thing.  It was a great port and it's still fun today. 

Selling a house can be very stressful, even without the situation you're in.  Good to get offers quickly.  GOOD LUCK! 

Listed the house the other day. The market is crazy here in coastal SoCal so we already have a few offers. This whole process started almost a year ago and the house sale marks it's completion. I have a lot of "feels" as the kids might say but I'm definitely optimistic about what the future holds. Also, I get some time back!  Bring on the gaming!

Congratulations Kid A!
 
Congratulations @Kid A on your awesome score! Great game guys, Sonic was a real blast! I hope everybody enjoyed our Summer Pizza Party Weekend and got to enjoy a slice or two yourself. Congrats to everyone who played! I'd like to encourage Kid A to post his new high score on the Scoreboard, and maybe this Challenge can continue on! 
Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be for the Super Nintendo on July 1st! See you there!

Such an amazing game with the different variations. I just bought Spiderman for PS4 but almost 40 years later I'm still playing Space Invaders instead. LOL

Wow!!
