The atari flashbacks I've heard can be pretty good from personal experience and I'd like to get one for a family member sometime for christmas( I did give my Atari plug&play from '02 to my grandma last year and she's played it a few times since then). The genesis all in one consoles I wouldn't totally reccomend because of certain emulation issues, especially in sound, but if you're willing to deal with those issue then you should hold on to it. --- End quote --- Actually got the sega one for my son for Xmas be cuz I didn't want him touching the carts just yet... He is only 7 yrs old he knows nothing about carts besides getting me to put them in so he can play... Intellivision flashback I got for myself... Once I see a good deal on an atari flashback I might get that also... Thanks for the information |

I ended up with the sega one somehow. I don't hate. It's small and works. I've not taken care of my ears though. I can't hear little differences. I even thought St. Anger sounded fine. 8) |

I don't know if the newer sega genesis all in ones still have those problems since I last played one of the consoles from 2006 or so, so maybe the emulation has gotten better since then. I can understand how you'd want the flashbacks to protect the carts, since its a pretty cheap alternative with generally good emulation nowadays and makes sure those carts are safe as well! |

You guys aren't wrong about them being a nice alternative to collecting for the full-on consoles. But there's better options for that with the compilation discs. Between Atari Anniversary, Intellivision Lives, and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection you get all the games you would get on those respective plug-n-plays. (And if you have Activision Anthology, you can play a bunch of Atari games you can't get on the plug-n-play Ataris.) |

The kid is a little ruff house .. But I am sure when I let him he will be ok ... Just not yet .. I don't want to have to replace any karts or consoles because he didn't do something right. |
