I purchased this as a gift for my brother because we had one growing up. The games are mostly unplayable, the controllers don't respond for anything, and some of the listed games aren't in the actual product. Also, they only include a few overlays. Most of the available games do not have them, which makes them impossible to play even if the system actually worked.
If the console worked, it would be worth finding the overlays on line and printing them up, even if it's only on paper and they will not last. At least we could enjoy the console. Unfortunately it's a $45 paperweight.

I prefer to be nice but this was a big disappointment. Most of the games worked like we remembered. Then it stopped working after one month. It just gives random color or static on the screen as soon as it is powered up. It's a completely useless hunk of plastic in a box.

One controller stopped working within weeks

EDIT: Well, after a year we did finally receive a replacement controller. An email came in last week acknowledging our order, then another saying it was shipping (I didn't believe them since we've received several emails saying it's on the way over the past year, never to appear) So now maybe my wife can play her 2016 birthday present at last.

It's great to have easy Intellivision games, but the overlays are a nightmare. They only give you a small portion of the games, and the rest are sold out on their website (and very expensive). They're also crap. They started falling apart immediately, with the front print coming apart from the backing around the corners at first, but very quickly this became serious. Played a great game of Dungeons & Dragons, just be sure to note that some games don't have the same names. Good luck finding "FOOTBALL" for example. It's there, but that's not what it's called and guess what - NO OVERLAY.

Before I go any further let me start by saying please excuse that my review doesn't say 'Amazon Verified Purchase'.I just ordered it this weekend and waiting for it to ship....this is my second Intellivision Flashback by AtGames.Someone's probably saying 'oh gosh what happened to the first one'? not a thing.Had it for the past eight months and holding up really well with no problems at all.Bought my first at the Dollar General in fact completely unaware this even came out.I just wanted a back-up for that doomed day when it stops working I'm never without it.Although I might be jumping the gun on that remark as this company may be cranking out these Flashback systems 1,2,5, or 10 years from now I hope they don't get discontinued.

So is this Intellivision Flashback fully satisfying?
There is one thing I do wish for this system years down the road even if it increases cost by a good five to seven dollars.That is for there to be more (if not all) of the plastic sleeves that slide in over the numeric keypad for the games.They were excellent re-creations of the originals.A little experimenting you'll figure things out but still.Nice wooden paneling,that brushed champagne gold coloring.Put together really well and buttons and flat trackball style roller on controller respond really well.Aside from the missing cartridge slot (and a huge stack of games) it was like someone pulled a new old stock Intellivision system pulled from the past into our time.Easier hook-up and the technology consolidating all these games into the system for instant access.

Are these games accurate to the original Intellivision?
To be 100% honest I have not played the old Intellivision cartridge games since probably 1990-1993.My uncle had one and at the time his Intellivision was suffering more from 'damaged cartridge bracket syndrome'(common problem we learned too late could be fixed) as time went by.When the Sega Genesis came out he retired the Intellivision back to it's box.Now from playing Boxing,Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack,Auto Racing,Backgammon,Horse Racing,Baseball,Super Pro Basketball and Minotaur (formerly known as Treasures of Tarmin)...I can't tell a difference from memory.In Auto Racing using the roller I don't notice a lag in framerate as it was easy to turn too sharply.As far as substitute colors I haven't caught onto anything as an emulator.Yeah in Treasures of Tarmin(Minotaur) you moved frame by frame so it didn't appear slower.Though I highly recommend Minotaur, as a FPS game it's certainly a tasty nugget in the collection.I just can't find anything wrong with my $35 purchase.

Bottom Line:
Highly outdated versus games of today? yes the Intellivision Flashback certainly is.Yet it's not about materialism in order to enjoy this console...it's about fun.For example imagine 20 years from now at a family social event and a family member is bragging how they beat you at a video game (throughout internet connection).Wouldn't it be nice if they were there beside you on the couch to make it an actual memory.Or even a more solid memory saying to a friend 'yeah my brother/sister and I used to play used to play this old-school game World Championship Baseball'.They become confused by the pixelated characters of solid colors and simplistic outlook versus what's out today.Their materialist side comes out and they criticize it and ask why spouting off a bunch of titles furiously competing which each other year after year,graphics and all.And you simply rebuttal 'it was never about the graphics.It was just about enjoying a good game of baseball.Why did the rules of baseball change along with the graphics?' a good point.Technology progressing is a good thing if shaped right (taking into account the 60 games onboard) but were also being molded into spoiled brats with the desire to have the hottest Smartphone,HDTV, or just what's trendy or 'in' to a lot of others.Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the Intellivision Flashback system.
