Was thinking about getting an Atari Flashback 6 for my kid, til I noticed that I haven't even heard of 90 % of the games that are on it. No Decathlon, no Fishing Derby, no Hero, no Frostbyte, no Pitfall.... ffs... :/

I have one of the original "just the joystick" Flashbacks, and.. The sound emulation isn't quite right. Either that or they fudged the roms, somehow... It's only Atari.. Grab a couple of digital joysticks and a decent emulator setup for your telly. 9 pin to USB? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I have one with a slot - it's a proper 2600.  Trouble is the games. They're quite pricey now to buy individually. Some are hard to find, and many of them have a weird issue with the glue on the cartridge label that makes it look like it's gone mouldy. It's happened to pretty much every copy of Decathlon I've ever seen. |

I'm sure I read someplace that the flashback 2 can be modded to have a cart port...

...possibly here. Yes, the Flashback 2 has a space marked on the mainboard for soldering in a cart port from a defunct 2600. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.
