Just when you thought ATARI has folded and sold out with those joystick controllers that have games that plug into the televisions, has just been reborn. Developer Curt Vendel, who founded the Atari History Museum, re-created the original schematics on a singl chip. So all you nerds out there that want to mod the Atari, go ahead.
The Atari is now called The Flashback 2 and is only 30 bucks. You definitely can’t beat it at that price. The console comes preloaded with 40 games and none of the games are emulated. They are the original roms being run on the original equipment! Curt hints at the fact that there are 2 “hidden” games. He says to go to the main menu and do a series of joystick movements to indicate a special year in Atari’s history. If someone gets this machine, let me know how it goes.
