For one thing, the instruction manual (normally the most unexciting part) actually doubles as a beautiful Atari poster.

The 4 categories are supposed to be similar to those in the original Atari catalogs (Combat Zone, Sports Arena, Classics Corner, Adventure Territory, Skill Gallery). Also note that many, if not most, of the games in these collections are available on many current consoles, PCs and mobile platforms.The control panel no longer has a cheap sticker with the text; instead, all the text is raised and molded into the plastic, including the logo. It is the same as the Flashback 6 with the infrared wireless joysticks, but it adds one more game - Frogger - increasing the total to 101 games. If you are looking for fancy modern and sleek like graphics of today forget it, this is for people who want to re-experience, just as it was, the gaming of their youth. Anyways, I think I have my Flashback in the state that I want and with the games (220 total) I wanted, so I probably won't open it for a while now.
