For years innumerable, my favorite hobby has been trolling Craigslist in search of awesome retrogaming gear on the cheap! After weeks of searching with nothing impressing me much, I found an ad for an Atari Flashback 2 at a mere $20, complete in box! (If meeting potentially dangerous strangers in dark, unfamiliar places is not your bag, you can!) What makes this little plug-and-play Atari console so slick is that it retains the same woodgrain styling as the original Atari 2600, as well as the joysticks retaining their original design. However, certain elements were improved upon to be more friendly with modern displays.
The original system’s power adapter had an input jack that resembled a pair of old headphones Whereas the Atari Flashback 2 uses an AC Power adapter with a more modern (not to mention, safer) input. ( if you need one.) Another improvement on the hardware side of things was the use of composite video and audio cables, opposed to the super old school phono cable. Video is outputted through the yellow cable, and monaural audio through the single white cable. The reason Atari originally elected to use the old RCA phono output was that television sets at the time utilized that had the correct input jack on it. As technology advanced, this peripheral became obsolete as TVs transitioned away from RF to composite RCA inputs. For those with an original console, an can be placed at the end of the phono RCA cable, which connects directly to your TV’s coaxial input! If you own the original Atari 2600 and you’d rather not mod it, this adapter is your best option.

I learned this the hard way after hooking up the console to my newer flatscreen and discovering that Asteroids didn’t have any actual asteroids!:-/ The scan rates for newer TVs are too high for the output to handle, but older TVs with lower scan rates work just fine. In fact, it’s always a good idea to keep an old CRT TV available if you are any type of retro gamer, preferably one with the yellow, red and white inputs in the back along with the requisite coaxial input! Finally, another design aspect that differs from the original console is the elimination of switches in favor of five buttons on the front. The red one is the Power switch, and five yellow ones for Reset, two Difficulty toggles, and Game Select.
On the back, between the power jack and audio/video cables, a toggle switch allows the user to toggle between color or black-and-white displays. This covers all of the functionality that my old Atari Light Sixer has, but in a much lighter, more modern package! A giant step-up from the Atari Flashback 1, that was, the Flashback 2 utilizes internal hardware that closely resembles the original console. What’s the benefit of this, you ask? Instead of running a ported version of your favorite game, the Flashback 2 is able to faithfully recreate the experience of playing Atari 2600 games in their true form!
