It would be an achievment Mark if Curt didn't have a working keychain prototype that ran off of his 2600-on-a-chip. If they had gone with that, this discussion would be moot, as I'm sure we'd all have one by now. To simplify things, in order to save a few bucks, the firm making the chip decided to use the NES-on-a-chip, which is why the simulation is so pathetic. That's been proven for whatever reason to be unable to handle Atari 2600 simulation, let alone emulation. You would think after the Flashback 1 fiasco, as well as the other limp Atari games in a joystick or paddle prior to the Flashback 2, these corporations would have some responsibility to continue the positive trend. I realize they'll sell butt-loads even with a half-assed attempt, but it's a shame simply because it doesn't have to be that way.

I'm also a bit perplexed by the add-on, that contains the battery packs and connecting wires. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having this thing on a keychain if you need to put that pack in your pocket?
