Throwback Gaming with the Atari Flashback X from AtGames!

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to AtGames for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

B and D are fans of gaming and recently they got to try out the Atari Flashback X from AtGames.  What a blast from the past!

This is a throwback console with two controllers and 110 of the best old school Atari games loaded onto the actual unit, so you don't have to worry about a ton of cartridges.

If you, like B and I, are from the Atari era, you are sure to find your favorite game on this console!  These games include such hits as Adventure, Asteroids®, Centipede®, Chopper Command™, Frogger, Missile Command®, Pitfall!™, Space Invaders™, Yars’ Revenge®, and so much more! Click here to read the full games list.

Setup is easy and takes just minutes.  It's basically like a plug and play game.  Plug the console into your TV and the remotes into the console.  Switch the TV over to your gaming HDMI channel (whatever port you plugged the console into) and you are ready to get gaming!

The Atari Flashback® X offers high definition 720p video output with scanline filtering, an intuitive menu system, save and resume game functionality, and the ability to rewind a game in progress to recover from a play misstep.  Super sweet!

This mini console looks just like the original and the joysticks are old school as well.  D is really getting a kick out of how we used to play video games back tin the " old days" :)

We are pretty impressed with the visual quality of these games from our childhood and with so many to choose from, we don't get bored! 

 This console is a great way to share a bit of history with our kiddos and it's a super fun way to spend family game night!  

 Stuck inside sheltered from dreary winter weather? Share a throwback gaming experience with your kiddos and an AtGames console!
