Actually, the Flashback 1 has 7800 and 2600 games on it. The original 7800 was also compatible with both 7800 and 2600 games. So for once they got the marketing right. :P
Uh-oh, my Atari ignorance is showing. :wink:

Interesting, did not know that. Thanks for the enlightenment. :D

Oh, really? Didn't know that.

Makes sense, though, being an NOAC and not an AOAC.

The Flashback 2 is much better.
