Atari Flashback
In 2004, Atari with the Atari Flashback a console on the market, which was based on the Atari 7800 and the Atari 2600. It is a game console without module bay in the 20 pre-loaded games are available on an internal memory. The console should again rise to the cult status of a generation and was meant only for the Asian market. The device, however, came next to North America to Europe ( only for the French market ) and, ultimately, in a revised version by Germany.
Since the console is not original hardware included (ironically tinkers inside the console NES -on-a -chip) had the games to be reprogrammed (Remake). This led to some gross errors in some games and was therefore unsatisfactory for the still large fan base. Atari presented, therefore, a short time later in the U.S., the console Atari Flashback 2 (2005), which contained almost 100% compatible hardware. This was followed by Atari Flashback 2 ( 2010), Atari Flashback 3 (2011) and Atari Flashback 4 (2012 ).
