Mad-Mike 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 539	I have the same exact unit that you have in the picture. It's actually pretty good. I like to plug it into my Computer Monitor when doing long downloads. I also have the first Atari 2600 joystick Jaks Pacific thingy, that one's allright, but the paddle games are a real bitch on it, and the sound for the games has been altered and plays too high. I've played the Atari Flashback II, I liked it, but it's still not the same as if they just released a REissue 2600 console with the games to go with it. They could sell the console for $20-50, and sell the games at $1-19 each and make a killing off of guys like me.

System 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 74809	I thought I was the ONLY one who played these. I have the one you posted- Bosconian is a mother-f@#$ing bitch! As well as the one Mad-Mike mentioned. I'm kinda pissed because now they have Spider-Man, Spongebob Squarepants, Star Wars, etc. and none of them ever sell, so it takes up the space where they would normally have retro games like this. I don't buy them anymore, because now I now collect all those old game compilation games like the best of Actvision, Midway and the like.

Hordak Alpha 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 801	I own two. One of them is a Konami based one with Time Pilot , Frogger and a few others. Time Pilot is interesting in the fact that you can take a jet plane and fight aerial battles in World War 1 and 2, Vietnam and a future war. I also have one with 50 games on it that are basically generic versions of classic games. Ultra Doggie is a clone of Frogger. Space Castle is a clone of Space Invaders. The clone games are okay but you can tell they were made to appeal to a family friendly audience.

I also have the one that you have in the picture and one controller from Tetris I have plans to get the genesis controller plug and play. It´s very nice the idea to convert great classics in video-game industry into a simple controller Greetings Sparrow X

GrimmTrixX 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 139	nah, mine work great, only had to change batteries on my pac man one like 2 weeks ago and I had it for almost a full year cuz i got it on my birthday last year and its already near my birthday (the 18th of april). I got the pacman one, the commodore 64 one that has a bunch of games on it, and then the sega genesis one with kid chameleon/golden axe/mean bean machine/sonic1/altered beast. All that sucks about that one is that there's no 2 player for it except for kid chameleon since you can pass the controller. Golden axe, mean bean machine, and altered beast suck with 1 player.

ataristic 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 493	i have a whole bunch of them and i can tell you my faves from top to bottom. jakks MS pacman- nice collection of relevant games, it has xevious and galaga for crying out loud mtoys C64 stick- not the best games but it has 32 games, and impossible mission by itself is woth it jakks atari 10 in one- not the best collection of games or the most acurate emulation, but the classic cx-40 joystic shape just looks super cool on top or next to your tv, worth it on looks alone

chrisno51 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 1577	I used to have this atari one http://www.gallerynucleus.com/images/store/products/atari-10in1.jpg It contained 10 games. I have played the one posted at my sisters house before. They aren't too bad, definately a good time killer. And yes they do tend to die on batteries pretty quick.
