Yeah - Games I can play!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

I love having all the old games from when I was a kid. I can finally play video games again and not be totally lost. They are tons of fun and even the kids (who are used to amazing game graphics) love playing. The best is how compact it is. We are excited about that because it will travel easy when we go on vacation this Spring. Love it!

Don't waste your money

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

Those wishing to get nostalgic with video games like the old Atari...DON'T buy a Flashback. It's a waste of time and money. The games don't seem as sharp concerning play as the originals. Missile command especially is different. The missiles come out of the silo slower, the new joysticks are not as sensitive as the old ones, so your accuracy is off...not to mention the sticks are wireless, so all games have a lag while you use the infrared wireless feature. It took forever to get the paddles, and they too stink. They are wired directly into the console, but you turn the knob, which is very stiff, and THEN the cursor moves. Like an echo. so good luck playing Circus or Pong. The ball or clown is crashed before your cursor moves. There are no other companies, like Activision, on here either...strictly Atari. There are no instructions for the games aside from a basic rundown either. All in all...I have more fun firing up my old, ORIGINAL system than using the Flashback. And the kicker...I found the same unit for almost half of what I paid AT A DOLLAR STORE. So be careful where you decide to purchase it, if you want to take the chance. So good luck, but this is how I see this cheap console. Not what it's cracked up to be.

To ammend the previous review...I finally got the paddle controllers. They suck. Seriously. No better than connecting the original analog paddles from the original Atari. There is a delay when using them. You turn the paddle, and a split second later, the cursor responds. Not good in games like Pong or Breakout or Circus. There is no control over your "guy" in this game. Between the wireless controllers that delay, and this...a HUGE waste of my money. Don't bother. Buy an old TV, get an original system off Ebay, and have a ball. It may cost you a bit, but quality costs, and this isn't quality.

Works except for cordless controllers

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2013

This worked well for certain games, but the cordless controllers were more problematic. In certain games and at certain angles the controller would quit working. Perhaps this would work better with corded controllers.

It is Not the original Atari and if you are looking for the exact games this is not it. However, if you are looking for a pleasant nostalgic experience then I would recommend this for you, great fun.

Fun, but not a time vortex.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my children because while I want them to have some games, I don't want to invest in a console, and I don't want them to spend too much time gaming. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because the games (being quite dated at this point) are very simple and lack decent graphics (which was totally normal at the time they were released.) Otherwise, I found this inexpensive, amusing (but not to the point of distraction,) and high quality. My tween and teens still play these, and have turned down my offers of a more modern console...which I think speaks volumes.

Atari Flashback 4 ROCKS!

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

This was a Christmas gift for my 36-yr-old son who remembers old Atari from his grade school days. Because he has all the other game consoles and popular zombie and military games, I was hesitant that this might be too simple and silly. He loved it and said it is actually just like playing the games he loved 25 years ago. The investment and the paddles I bought were outrageously LOW PRICED! I have spent more for just one X-Box game. Go quickly and buy this and have some great family fun!

All flashbacks are not good !

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2012

Being a flashback game, i thought i would have been easier to play. The games were hard and its like it had a mind of its own. All the games had square shapes objects to play or defeat. Just wasn't clear on how to play or was game playing demo.

El equipo funciona a la perfección. Ningún problema con el video en un televisión LCD grande. Me trajo muchos recuerdos y tengo horas de diversión. Los controles inalámbricos no me han dado ningun problema, solo si los muevo mucho pierden la sincronización, en este caso solo presiono el boton rojo de Fuego y listo, a seguir la partida. Lo mejor de todo, le gano a los jugadores expertos en Xbox, PS3 y demás. Gracias ATARI.

It was fine and works buit it didn't come with the games that I enjoyed with the original game. Also, it worked better plugged in rather than using batteries. One can feel it slow down when using batteries even when the batteries are new! So it's performance isn't as good.

Retro für zwischendurch

Reviewed in Germany on March 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

Wer mal Lust auf ein wenig Retro hat und keinen Emulator zur Hand hat oder mag, der ist mit dem Atari Flashback4 gut bedient. Anders als beim Emulator kommt ein richtiges Retro-feeling auf. Man sitzt vor seinem Fernseher und zockt. Wer die Games aus den 80er nicht kennt, dem sei gesagt, es handelt sich hier um simple Spiele mit sehr einfacher Grafik.

Die Lieferung erfolgt innerhalb von 2 Tagen per UPS. Ich persönlich mag UPS nicht so gerne wegen den unfreundlichen Boten. Beim auspacken der Konsole merkte ich dann: "Wo ist mein Poster?". Auf dem Karton steht "Poster inside!". Tja, hat man wohl bei mir vergessen. Dafür wurde ich mit einer unkomplizierten Installation der Konsole ( plug n play am TV ) und tollem Gameplay entschädigt.
Die Konsole wirkt gut verarbeitet, es wären keine Kratzer oder Beschädigungen sichtbar.

Ich habe ein kleines Video gemacht, dort packe ich die Konsole aus und spiele ein paar Spiele an! Wer möchte kann es hier ansehen: youtube/user/mojodkura/ Videoname: Lets Retro Unboxing [GERMAN] [ALT] - Eine Konsole ohne Poster

No incluye las pilas.
La presentación es buena.
De los 75 juegos que trae están bien 2.
Los mandos a veces no responden como deberían.
Tienes que ser muy friki de los primeros juegos de Atari para que te guste.
