To ensure this authenticity, Atari has engineered the tools and code of the original games for reproduction on modern chip technology.

AtGames also released several alternate versions, including the Atari Flashback 4: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.versions of Atari VCS games, including one that was never released (and the artwork and manual for it was used without permission). Weirdly, the HDMI port appears to be on the left-hand side of the console -- see the promotional video embedded below. The joystick is modeled after the originals, although the action on the stick is considerably looser. As you can probably tell, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with AtGames’ Atari Flashback 8 Gold console.

Two wired Controllers, styled after the Atari 2600 original, are included, as well as two legacy Controller ports to add your own optional wired joysticks or paddles.Now all we need is someone to create a little console version of a C64 with all the classic Lucasfilm games on it. The control panel no longer has a cheap sticker with the text; instead, all the text is raised and molded into the plastic, including the logo.
