Background

The Atari Flashback 2 is the second generation of the Flashback series of the retro gaming console, the “Atari 2600”. This second-generation model was released in 2005. The console is a self-contained gaming console that has 40 pre-programmed games that the user can individually select from and play. This console is different from many modern-day gaming consoles as it does not physically accept cartridges or discs.

The Atari Flashback 2 console requires a 9V DC power supply as well as standard audio and video inputs.

Identification

The Atari Flashback 2 is a black gaming console modeled after the original Atari 2600, which was released in 1977. The Atari logo is printed between the buttons along the top of the console, while “Atari Flashback 2” is printed along the front edge of the device.

The system includes the console and two joysticks. The Atari Flashback 2 has five buttons in place of the switches and cartridge slot found on the original Atari 2600. From left to right, the buttons are the power, reset, difficulty, and select buttons. The back of the console has two controller ports, a 9V DC power socket, and a color/BW TV switch.

To confirm your device model, look for the model number and other product information printed on a label on the bottom of the device.
