The latest home console model, Atari Flashback 12 Gold, was released in 2023 and has 130 games.

Each subsequent home console in the series is modeled after the 2600 instead; the Atari Flashback 2 was released in 2005, included 40 built-in games, and was the only one with a 2600 hardware SoC.

Several variations of the Flashback 8 were released in 2017, including the Gold edition, which introduces scan line filtering, a gameplay rewind feature, and HDMI output.

Since the Flashback X in 2019, the exterior designs have been more faithful near-replicas of the original Atari 2600 in miniature forms.

[4] Some of the games originally required analog paddle controllers and were made to work with the included joysticks.

Harris complained of problems such as flicker, poor collision detection, and missing sound.

He praised the controllers for their reduced size, finding them more comfortable to use, but he was disappointed that they are incompatible with the original 7800.

A "select" button is used to choose between single-player and multiplayer modes, for certain games that offer the latter.

[20] In 2011, Atari Interactive filed a $30 million lawsuit against Tommo, accusing the latter of knowingly selling pirated Flashback 2 consoles.

This is due to limitations in the original Atari 2600 hardware, which the Flashback 2 reproduces accurately.

For a revision of the Flashback 2, Vendel commissioned developers to tweak these games in order to reduce flickering.

AtGames also released several alternate versions, including the Atari Flashback 4: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.

AtGames also developed the Atari Flashback 64, a Walmart exclusive version with wired controllers and only 64 games, including Space Invaders.

[34][35][36] The Atari Flashback 7 Deluxe includes two wired paddle controllers in addition to the wireless joysticks.

[40][41] The Flashback 8 Deluxe was identical, except that it included a set of paddle controllers in addition to the joysticks.

[44][40] The Atari Flashback 8 Gold Deluxe also had 120 games, but included two wired paddles in addition to two wireless joysticks.

It included two wired controllers and 110 games, and it featured composite video output along with an SD slot.

The Atari Flashback X was released in 2019[50] and attempted to capitalize on the mini console trend, started by releases like the NES Classic Edition and Sega Genesis Mini, with a case redesign that more faithfully captured the aesthetic of being a near-perfect physical replica of an Atari 2600 in miniature form.

It featured brass switches instead of chrome, and it had the gold "Atari 50th" logo stamped onto its wood-veneer trim.

Only the gold model supported official firmware updates from the AtGames website to allow more games to be downloaded.

The list of 130 games included is identical to the Atari Flashback 50th Anniversary Edition Gold model.

The Atari Flashback 12 Gold features support for official firmware updates from the AtGames website to allow for the download of more games.

It was being designed to run on three "AAA" batteries, at a screen resolution of 320x240, and it would feature AV output with two joystick controller ports for multiplayer.

[54] A new handheld console, also called the Atari Flashback Portable, was released in November 2016.

[57] A fourth edition of the Atari Flashback Portable was released by AtGames in September 2019.

It features a woodgrain-like body design that mirrors the woodgrain look on the original Atari 2600 console.

It is the console release of Atari Vault and its DLC on Microsoft Windows, MacOS and Linux.

[64] In October 2018, AtGames released Atari Flashback Blast!, a trio of wireless controllers each with 20 built-in games.
