Atari Flashback 12 Gold, Retro Game Console, Built-in 130 Classic Games, Two Joystick and Paddle Controllers, HDMI, PLUG & PLAY on HD TV

Bel regalo per un collezionista nostalgico dei vecchi giochi. Ma per chi si vuole divertire e basta non lo consiglio... troppo arretrato rispetto agli standard attuali.

Very bad product, it is not working since i purchased also, seller didnt approve thr return

A fonctionné 10 minutes.Achat coup de cœur donc souvent décevant.

Caixa veio arrebentada e aparentemente violada, videogame com sinais de uso e até com poeira. Não funciona muito bem, após carregar tela inicial, demora inexplicavelmente diversos segundos até finalmente aceitar comandos e durante os jogos os comando falham demais, não recomendado.

Petite console

First I am a 57 year old man and remember the years of Atari and Activision with a very fond memory.But the graphics are very poor, I didn't remember them being this bad on some of the games, yes some of the games look very familar.... one of my least favorite games from my youth Pitfall, looks pretty much the same.but the controllers are very cheap and the responsiveness is very poor. Even breakout was hard to play.Anohter item that is small but noticeable is NO lights on the console. I thought it did not have power because I didn't see any signs of power, but it was work.I got this to play with my grandchildren but it was barely playable. I would NEVER recommend this and I acknowledge that some of this might be my lack of research, but never the less I think the information I had about the game over sold it self. Also be prepared to to research the internet on how to play some of the games, the insturctions are basic to the extreem.

Unlike all the other flashbacks that were put out, this one stand alone! 130 great games and it works like a dream. Easy to set up and just many hours of Atari fun! There are a lot of Activision games on this one which I love. And it’s a small unit so it doesn’t take up a lot of space. The joysticks work great. There does seem to be a little bit of latency with the paddle games, but nothing that’s a showstopper. Definitely worth the price. I would be surprised if they could ever do better than this one! THIS IS DECEPTIVE ATARI GOLD!

Only 4 stars because it comes with a European power adapter, luckly pretty much an micro-usb power adapter will work. My 2 grands kids are now playing the games I did when I was just a little older than they are (5 and 4)Of course, they play Minecraft and all sorts of much more difficult games than I did at this age, including using VR.

I think I can comment on the Flashback 12 Gold as an owner of this, the Atari 2600+, Atari Gamestation Pro and the Atari VCS. The good things about this console are Great Game Line up with the ability to add more games, the controllers are surprisingly very good, while not as still as the 2600+ CX40's I actually play better with these sticks even in the 2600+. Compared to alot of Atari tribute products out there, this one has a big Activision library, and as anyone knows, Activision and Imagic pretty much made the best Atari games, then you throw in Solaris and Aqua Adventure which are two of my favorites and you got a real winner. I can't overstate enough for 2600 games this is the best value by far, you cannot get 2600 games and authentic controls anywhere else at this price. I rank the 2600+ and the Flashback Gold very high for what they are and what they do, if you do not want to or plan on collecting carts this is the way to go, the gamestation pro offers wireless controllers but they are def not as nice as Atgames controls, the GSP doesn't offer a microsd slot to sideload tons of games though, but you can easily do the same here with a splitter usb cable and usb stick, its all in what you want to do but out of the box for 2600 games this blows the GSP away and I own 2 GSP's... I mainly use my GSP's for on the go and quick gaming but for the real deal its 2600+ and Flashback 12 Gold. Hopefully Atgames can get us an Intellivision Gold with HDMI someday!

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this Flashback 12 Gold. The PROS are... it comes with 130 games, and many of them are very good and classic games. I guess that's about it. The CONS are... the wired joysticks are terrible with a lot of sloppy "play" in them. The button sometimes doesn't work (I could clearly hear myself hitting the button many times in a game, but no action took place on screen, very annoying). The paddles are kind of stiff, and I can even detect a bit of friction/rubbing taking place as I spin it. Overall, the paddles seem to work fairly well on screen, though. Another CON... mine came with a European plug / power supply, so I had to special order a socket adapter. I was also disappointed that this doesn't have an SD Card slot or USB slot to load your own games... (but there are ways around that if you Google/YouTube it). Additionally... it seems very hard to find new joysticks and paddles for this. I bought a regular Atari joystick (hoping it would be less sloppy) but it didn't work with this Flashback system. Every time I pressed left, it took me to the Menu screen. Additionally... there doesn't seem to be a lot of options on the Menu screen other than very basic functions. One joystick has a Menu button right on it... but if you lose that joystick, you are gonna be forced to turn the system on and off anytime you want to return to the menu. Dumb. Why didn't they put a "Menu" button on the console itself? I don't use the Rewind or Save slots, so I can't say much about those. So, yeah... the controls are not how I remembered as a youth, which makes the gameplay not as fun. Nobody seems to be able to re-create the original console experience.
