The Atari Flashback 2 is a modernized re-release of the Atari 2600. It has no cartridge slot, instead coming with forty games loaded into the machine’s on board memory. It reproduces the Atari 2600 on a single chip, meaning the Flashback 2 is not an emulator and instead performs exactly the same as the original 2600. It plays every game exactly as it was played originally. Some enthusiasts have modified the Flashback 2 with a cartridge slot, finding it can play original 2600 cartridges too. The Flashback 2’s controllers are reproductions of the original Atari 2600 Joystick, and the Flashback 2 is compatible with the original Paddle controllers though they have not been remade.
