        Not a bad list of games and I'm glad to see they're all actual 2600 titles. I'm also really glad they decided to put 'Video Chess' on there, as it might very well be the system's greatest technical achievement. I wonder if the control pad will act as analog input for the paddle games? Also, previous portable 2600s had a very generic case design, so the fit and finish here is a big step up as well. I can't wait to see some reviews, but even at worst case scenario, it looks like this will make a nice Christmas gift for casual retro-gamers.

            Ooooh yeah. That's a big omission. It's a licensed game, so I get why it's not there, but it still hurts.

              That thumbstick will really make or break it. The handheld itself is fairly nice looking, but that stick... I don't trust it. I also agree that Space Invaders missing is a pretty big deal. I won't be buying one, but I probably am not the target audience anyway.

                Ive got the flashback portable, like someone said above it is in a pretty generic case but it works fine, the screen and sound are good, and it has a good list of games. Any games that aren't on there can be put on an sd card and played from that so you have everything you need for vcs on the go...

                  hey guys, I own that Joystick , but Retropie won't recognise, when I hit any buttons (hold a button to configure..). On my windows machine it's detected and working as "xbox 360 Controller".

                  Any idea what I could try to get it work within Retropie?
