    Remind me of the good old days in the 80's when I have my first Atari.

    I still have my original 6-switch Atari VCS that my parents got me for xmas when I was a wee lad, and it still works. They don't build 'em like that anymore. I can't begin to imagine the number of hours I have on that thing.

    It is 32.00 at dollar general http://www.dollargeneral.com currently. I believe it is the same model.

    I don't see a cartridge slot for my Arcadia SuperCharger. Given that, is "Communist Mutants from Space" one of the 60 included games? I don't see a list at buy.com.

    I don't know how similar the Flashback 3 hardware is to the Flashback 2, but if they are close enough and you are handy with a soldering iron then you should be able to add a cartridge slot. I had considered doing this in case my ancient 30+ year old console finally died, not that I really ever play it anymore.

    edit: Nevermind. Sad "Internally the Flashback 3 system uses emulation running on an ARM-based processor instead of Legacy's '2600-on-a-chip' and is not hackable to add a cartridge port for reading original Atari 2600 cartridges."

    I hope the cords on the controllers are longer than what is shown in the pic!

    Does it have HDMI or do we need to find an equally old TV that has a RF input?
