Marty Goldberg, owner of the Electronic Entertainment Museum, was the technical writer for the packed-in manual and full design of the online manual. The Atari Flashback 2 project was codenamed "Michele", after Vendel's wife. Therefore, the Atari Flashback 2 runs games just as they ran on an original console. Unlike the original Flashback console, the Flashback 2 contains a single-chip version of circuitry designed by Vendel it is a reproduction of the original circuitry in that of the original Atari 2600. The Flashback 2 does not come with paddle controllers, but original paddle controllers can be connected to it and used with its paddle-based games.Ĭurt Vendel and Legacy Engineering returned to develop the Flashback 2. The joysticks bear very close similarity to the original Atari 2600 joysticks from 1977, and are compatible and interchangeable with them. The Flashback 2 console has five buttons (power, reset, left and right difficulty toggles, and select) on the back it has a color/black-and-white slider switch and two ports for the included joysticks.
It is roughly two-thirds the size of the original, and much lighter in weight. The appearance of the Atari Flashback 2 is reminiscent of the original Atari 2600 console from 1977.
A few of the included games are homebrews which were created by enthusiasts in recent years, and two of the games ( Pitfall! and River Raid) were originally published by Activision. The Atari Flashback 2, the successor to the original Atari Flashback console, was released in 2005.
