At Games Colecovision, Intellivision, 2600 Flashbacks Pre-order

I kind of want that Intellivision one super bad for nostalgia reasons, but only if it includes most of the games I had as a kid. I know I could just emulate (and I have) but this has the freaking proper controllers. Odd as they are, it's weird playing intv games any other way.

I sort of want the Colecovision one too, because I never had one or ever got to play one at a friend's house (they all had Atari if anything in that era).

Atari, meh, I'm fine emulating that. Maybe if they came out with a 5200 one (with controllers that don't break by looking at them funny).

Supposedly there will be "surprises" in terms of the games they licensed. Obviously I would hope that some of the Imagic and Activision games are included on both, though they've been absent from the Atari's for awhile now. I've read that AtGames could expand into Amiga, C64, and Atari 8-bit in the future. But yes, a replaceable 5200 controller that self centers would be a God send! Ha ha ha.

If they ever touch the Atari 8 bit line, I'm sure that they will include a pair of their CX-40 clones.

Would be nice to see a Imagic/Activision themed Flashback. With these being emulation based, they could provide a range of content across multiple platforms including the 2600, Intellivision, and Colecovision. And if they do ever emulate the C64 and Atari 8 bits, they could also include content from those lines on the same package.

Would be neat to see every major version of River Raid on the same Flashback. And while some versions are pretty close to each other, there's also some neat variations with both Activision and Imagic multiplatform releases.

I saw the Genesis console in a Hastings Entertainment today, a good amount of classics mixed in with a bunch of weird generic games slapped together by the manufacturer. Those looked like the oddball games that Famiclones tend to have when they don't have legitimately pirated games in them.

I'm really excited for the Intellivision Flashback, but I'd like to know what games are on it. The same thing with the Colecovision, especially considering most of that machine's top games were licenses from arcade companies that are (mostly) out of business now. I'm hoping that the extra games to fill out the Colecovision's lineup won't be the same generic titles that are also on the Genesis one.

I really wish that Genesis handheld they do with Super SF2 and Mega Man on it actually worked right. I don't mind it being a little off on the audio and video, it's a convenient little emulator box with a solid screen, control setup and speaker plus with the SD card you can load whatever to it, but the saving is a deal breaker.

It makes me wonder with this better step in quality they seem to be taking with other systems why they don't revisit that and make good on it.

Not interested. I have multiples of the original consoles along with the games. The look, the feel and playing the original games as they were meant to be played, well there just is no comparison.
