      Games made before the NES are unplayable.

      Entering the chat:

      MSX (those Konami games đź‘Ť)
      Arcade (Pac-man, Space invaders, Donkey Kong, etc)
      Etc

      is this the one you can put actual carts in?

        it says yes - 2600 & 7800 cartridges from what i can see.
        May need to update firmware for some of the 7800 cartridges to work

      Older consoles have a real "did you play them at the time" aspect to them. I reckon gamers of any age could play 16-bit era console games and be happy, but anything older is a harder sell with the more primitive graphics, controls and in some cases soul crushing difficulty.

      • Bretttick on 13/03/2026 - 16:13

        I'd say 8 bit, older than that I doubt they would waste a few minutes on

      I'm a retro gaming fan and the reality is the Atari 2600 has a massively high % of rubbish games. Out of the hundreds (~470) games for it, I'd struggle to do a genuinely fun to play top 10 without nostalgia or using homebrew games. Especially when there are better arcade or other console versions. For example, Dig Dug is a good Atari 2600 game (for the time), but the arcade and NES versions are vastly superior.

    • AndyC1 on 14/03/2026 - 11:34

      So space invaders and pacman arcade games are unplayable….What a load of ……

      Oh rubbish.

      Apart from arcade classics there are plenty of games that can be fun even on the 2600 though most only because of 2 player.

    Here's a few from me Barnstorming, Pitfall, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Midnight Magic, Quick step, Kaboom, Pole Position amongst alot of others actually.

        Combat, Adventure, H.E.R.O, Megamania, Demon Attack, Seaquest, Jr Pacman, Enduro just to add a few more to the list of games worth trying or revisiting

    I had an Atari 2600 back when it was the console to have in the early 80s. As much as I loved it then, those games have not aged well. I would not pay this much money to play them again.

    I already bought the Atari 50th Anniversary Celebration a while back, which was at least interesting as a sort of interactive documentary / museum exhibit. You could buy that as well as Atari Flashback Classics vol 1 and 2 for less than the cost of this, and then you won't have a lump of plastic taking up space in your house after you get sick of playing the games..

      We had one just because we found one cheap at the op shop. This was before we saved up to buy a SNES so we didn't know any better, but I recall enjoying it as a little kid.

      "Chances are you're about to lose"… Grand Prix
      "Imagine what you could be buying instead"… Intellivision?
      "You win some. You lose more"… Space Invaders

  • Falbium on 13/03/2026 - 15:08

    I still like the 2600 version of Missile Command, gameplay is on point. Pole Position was impressive too, had to get good to play that one properly. In 1983 I had an Atari 2600 clone console, the Coleco Gemini, which had the better controller IMO, fantastic device. If they released a copy of that (they won't) I'd be onto it purely for nostalgia.

    • ak47wong on 14/03/2026 - 00:47

      I wasn’t impressed by Pole Position. I could never get over how ugly the rival cars were. They didn’t look even remotely like cars which really hurt the game (even though the player’s own car looked great). Enduro had better gameplay too. Missile Command was good though.

    my dad said by granddad loved playing this last century

    I can imagine after a hard day of mining for gold in Ballarat the miners came home to play this to chillax

      It was more likely your dad who was playing this last century

      As for the gold rush, that would have been more likely your great-great-great-great-grandfather

    Tempting though I
    * still have my original 2600 and 10 cartridges
    * the Atari 400 mini
    * an Atari Gamestation Go

    I also bought the paddles, plus the wireless cx78+ recently

    In the 80s, this was the console to have. It was cutting edge gaming… then the C64 came out…

      I was too poor for the 2600, and also living in a converted bus with no TV, but a friend had the 2600 and Asteroids was our go-to game.

      • Franc-T on 14/03/2026 - 12:27

        used to go to bill guyatts and play 2600 intellivision and colecovision till they kicked us out.

    I imagine licensing was an issue, but it kind of sucks that they didn't include any of the gems in that 10 in 1 cartridge.

    • congo on 13/03/2026 - 17:26

      Yeah, that a pity

  • HyperX23 on 13/03/2026 - 18:25

    Does it smell as good as the black plastic Atari 2600 heated in the Australian summertime as a kid? If smell was a memory… :)

  • Bing0 on 13/03/2026 - 20:49

    My cousin had the only one I ever played and it was a massive letdown even in 1988 so I remained in my NES shaped bubble for some time after… still played it though.

    • ak47wong on 14/03/2026 - 00:57

      In 1988, the Atari 2600 was over 10 years old and the NES, Sega Master System, Commodore 64, and Amiga had all been released years before. Of course it was a massive letdown.

  • TrivagoTeeth on 13/03/2026 - 22:38

    Real gamer's test… name an atari ARCADE machine you've played!

      This is difficult in Australia, as a major majority of cabinets were imported into Australia by Companies such as Leisure and Allied, were not original cabinets due to the costs of importing genuine units from the USA. So quite a few units were re-done, or maybe bootlegs.
      Games I recall playing were:-
      * Asteroids
      * Asteroid Deluxe
      * Atari Baseball?
      * Atari Basketball?
      * Atari Football?
      * Atari Soccer?
      * Battlezone
      * Breakout
      * Centipede
      * Crystal Castle
      * Empire Strikes Back
      * Food Fight
      * Gauntlet (I think this was an original cabinet, due to the 4 way controllers)
      * Lunar Lander
      * Millipede
      * Missile Command
      * Missile Command 2
      * Night Driver
      * Outlaw
      * Paperboy
      * Pong
      * Red Baron
      * Return of the Jedi
      * Star Wars
      * Tempest

      I recall playing a few sports games, however I lived in the country, but come down to Newcastle evey fortnight. I would goto Orbit One in King St, or other arcade places. I also went on holidays on the Gold Coast, and went to Grundy's on Cavill Ave. It was modelled on Chuck E Cheese.

      • TrivagoTeeth on 15/03/2026 - 10:16

        My brain is broken. First one that came to memory was actually super modern. Like a machine you sit in. Some robot simulator, expensive, weird & clunky. But ultra modern at the time. Like mid 90's. I have a memory of being confused when seeing Atari.

        Maybe I'm completely wrong

  • Cheap Gamer on 13/03/2026 - 23:07

    Thanks very much OP. I had given up hope of finding one at a reasonable price.

    Is it worth buying? Only plays game cartridges. So unless you own any additional game cartridges, you'll be stuck with the bundled 10 game cartridge. Plus the 4 in 1 Cartridge and Paddle Pack which is available for purchase separately. Or a limited selection of expensive officially released 2600 and 7800 cartridges. Officially does not play backup roms. Maybe only through specific unlicensed flash cart.

    Good price and great for anybody who has been on the fence about picking one up but I purchased a few years back and can't really justify buying a second one.Pity no deals on the pac-man themed one or the Atari 7800+ or it would have been an instant buy.

  • AmazingJas on 15/03/2026 - 20:04

    Only problem is that a lot of 7800 games need the 2 button joystick…thats how they get ya!

    Best Atari 2600 game: H.E.R.O.

  • Pobman on 20/03/2026 - 09:15

    Arrived with firmware 1.0 so you'll almost definitely want to update the firmware, doesn't play Pitfall II out the box, official released one currently 2.0.1.6 (despite what it says on the page).

    Update process went fine.

  • bogrolls on 08/04/2026 - 18:11

    Anyone else have issues getting this one ? I ordered one but there was some issue with it entering the country. I have just been speaking to amazon who have said they wont honor the price and my only option is a refund. They said that amazon global can't send another one from amazon uk, so i have to get a refund and buy it again myself.
