Way back when, before the first Nintendo Entertainment System came out, there was the Atari 2600. I used to spend hours playing games with really shotty graphics, including the 2-player "Combat".

It stands to reason that someone would try to bring these really old-school games back, and portable, for the mobile age. The Atari flashback Portable has a 320 x 240 screen, runs on three AA batteries, and even has the look of the Atari 2600. Games can be uploaded via USB, but I imagine a price will be paid for those on some download site somewhere.

I have no idea when it will be out or the price, but I might be in line to purchase this little piece of nostalgia.
