Atari handheld console

Wow, its been years since I first tried the Atari Flashback console (the one that looked like a miniature Atari 7800) and while it was fun I was a little disappointed after a few hours. The result was to pack it up and hide it in the back of the wardrobe and pretty much forget about it.

Fast forward 12 years and I started to read articles and comments on a new Atari Flashback, a portable colour unit with 60 built-in games and the ability to run more Atari games from an SD card (if you have the ROMS).

So I tracked down a copy on eBay (from the UK) and ordered one to arrive just in time from my Christmas break and lucky for me it did.

I have gotten around to adding ROMS via the SD card yet but Ill soon attempt this to see just how easy it is. In the meantime, I found some time to play a few of my favourites like Adventure, Asteroids, Centipede and Frogger.
