^Pretty much,yes. Same with Colecovision. The Intellivision one seems to be the best one to get. Followed by the Atari 5 one. The Atari one comes with M Network games. So,you're getting some of their good sports games. I always liked Mattel's baseball game for the 2600 better than Atari's.Comment

I still have my Atari 2600 and my Intellivision II in my room, (just not hoooked up) and 220 games between the 2 of them.
What's up w/ the Retro Atari only having 5 games and charging the same amount as the others w/ more games?"Do you believe, you believe in magic?

Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic

So far its mixed on the flashbacks. I've heard that Tower of Doom on the INTL fb is broken and that the Coleco fb has controller issues (easy breakage). I havent bought any of them yet. I really would like D@D games and a working Tower of Doom but I may wait and see if theres another release coming with improvements.Comment

Still thinking of getting these, but in the meantime I still have my original Intellivision and ColecoVision consoles hooked up to my old TV.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

Thats the best way to play the old systems. It would have been really nice if they had added a cartridge slot. These systems are lacking alot if theres no Activision and Parker Bros. titles on them. Theres really no telling how long those old systems will be operational unless they can be sent somewhere for servicing so clones that are really close to the original hardware would be nice to have available.Comment

^ I'm interested in the Ouya but I'm waiting till a newer model that can run some of the newer systems a little smoother. It can just barely play Nintendo 64 at the moment.
I have one of the handheld Sega Genesis systems from Atgames (a older model). It has a SD slot and can be hookedup to a tv. It'll never beat a real genesis but its nice to have packed when you go off somewhere. I'm really interested in the Intellivision flashback but its a harder sell without stuff like Bump 'n Jump and Burger time not on it.
A atari flashback 2 can be made to play cartridge with some know how, I think I read the new ones cant be done that way though. We'll see...

I went ahead and got the Intellivision Flashback this morning since it was the first system I ever owned. That controller is still as cumbersome as ever but definately cant be replicated any other way except for the real thing. I have a old CRT that i'm going to have to hook a VCR to for the cable to get the full effect. This system seems to be fine so far from what ive played, I dont have any of the other new ones.

I like the Intellivision FB over the Colecovision one. Better games and even the Intellivoice ones.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

It comes with around 10 of them. Not available yet but they should be on www.intellivisionlives.com in the near future.
The next version needs some of those cool homebrews that are being made.Comment

Intellivision gives me the willies, so I have no desire to look at that list of games. HowEVER I found the full list of games for Colecovision console. My GOODNESS are you right about poor game selection. There's, like, 60 games, yet I only recognize a few names. There's no excuse for that. If they can't swing something a diehard Colecovision guy like me would be interested in, how would they expect lesser-vid-game-geeks to be interested."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment
