That is the link to the Atari Flashback Console with 20 games built in. I want to know if you guys know if there is an Intellivision or Colecovision counterpart to that with the games built in and all. If there is I would appreciate a link. Thanks.

intv has put out a couple of crappy controller game devices and according to what i found online the same will be happening with coleco pretty shortly (no game list available). these are no frills deals, just a clunky controller that in no way attempts recreate the feel of the old hardware.

but another way of looking at it - the flashback cant really be called a console since it cant play anything but the built in games, its just for looks really. they coulda crammed it all into a controller type device. besides only folks like us would want something as big and clunky as an INTV or CV console in our living rooms.

Without the layout of a real Inty controller, most Inty games are unplayable, even perfectly emulated. Think about MLB, and the baseball dimaond overlay, or Utopia and it's overlay. Impossible.

You wanna play -em ,all, properly, including great movie licenses like TRON Deadly Discs, you need a real Inty.

Unless they make a knock off of that keypad controller.

CV is in a similar situation, but not near as severe, ans it uses the keypad less extensively.
