Additional wireless controllers are available for purchase so the fun can be shared with friends and family.

Atari Flashback® Blast! Vol. 1 features 20 Atari 2600 classics like Centipede®, Millipede®, and Yars’ Revenge®. Atari Flashback® Blast! Vol. 2 features 20 Atari 2600 classics like Adventure, Asteroids®, and Missile Command®. Atari Flashback® Blast!

The Atari Flashback® 9 Gold features 120 Atari 2600 classics and favorites like BurgerTime and Space Invaders™, high definition HDMI output, and two wireless joystick controllers modeled after the originals. Optional wired paddle controllers, exclusively designed for use with the Atari Flashback® 9-series, are available for even more authentic play of the included paddle-based games.

The Atari Flashback® Portable returns in 2018 with new features and an amazing selection of 80 Atari 2600 classics and favorites, including Dig Dug, Pac-Man, and Tutankham. A built-in, rechargeable battery means the on-the-go fun never has to end. Games can be played on the portable’s built-in, high-resolution 2.8” display, or on a TV via optional cable.

Every Atari-branded AtGames product includes an intuitive menu system, save and resume game functionality, and the ability to rewind a game in progress to recover from a play misstep.

All Atari-branded AtGames console and handheld products retail for $19.99 – $69.99.
