Menkind Atari Flashback 12 USB Powered Fixed ROM Console with 110 Classic Games

I was expecting this to be a complete failure on a modern 1080p HDMI monitor. Nothing of the sort. The graphics are crystal clear and it's a pleasure to play some of the old Atari 2600 games again - including Space Invaders. It's a shame the joystick controllers aren't cordless, but then, the original ones weren't anyway. Overall, I'm very impressed.

The most games Included with the thing wasn't playable - the many games didn't react to the controller others working but wasn't sure that they were finished product - nonsense or plainly stupid. Overall not enjoyable experience - I send it back and refund was issued by Amazon without any problems.

Loved the fact that they have retained the look and feel of the games ,only thing that disappoints is the lack of simple instructions for us golden oldies.

Good old fashioned fun for all the family

It works fine.

After having been gifted the Flashback 12 I was disappointed that there were no paddles included nor compatible, as my favourite game on the console was (and still is) Pong. Having been bitten by the bug I ordered the 7800+ shortly after, and in the same order the "4 in 1 Game Cartridge Plus Paddle Pack", as supposedly the 7800+ had the least lag compared to the 2600+ (for paddles). It turned out the Paddles worked very badly with the 7800+ (a lot of lag, sometimes very bad, sometimes a little better, but never great) and to my utter surprise much better with the Flashback 12 - I wasn't even aware these were compatible! So yeah, will send the (to me) useless 7800+ back and stick happily to the Flashback 12. No idea if that was down to a recent update or whatever, but that was my experience. Didn't check for tips and tricks, but I would expect that a new machine should be pretty up to date straight out of the box, and the Flashback 12 works just fine.

This is a disappointment. Games are cloned and poorly emulated.

The media could not be loaded. Lots of nostalgia to be had here with this little AtariFlashback console.Complete with two joysticks and power adapter (doesn't come with HDMI cable)Plug the joystick into player one to be able to use the red buttons on the front to start and select games ect.Of the games I tested they all seemed to work perfectly fine and brought back some childhood memories 😀The joysticks seem to respond well and going off the manual if you own the original paddles you can use them for the games that support the paddle controllers.The size of the console is around the same size as the Nes/SNES mini and Playstation 1 classic so doesn't take up much space.While this is not going to replace your current gen console or gaming PC it is fun to go back and see how much games and technology has improved so much over the years and these little retro consoles are great fun to play with you friends, partner or kids 😃.Priced at £74.99 this is around the price you would expect to pay for one of these little retro consoles and I would say is a fair price.Overall a great collector's item to have in my game room next to my other retro mini consoles and a good blast from the past trip down memory lan.Would I recommend?What I've seen and used of it so far yes I would😁👍
