Atari Flashback 8: Thoughts + Game Sampling

This thing is really hard to talk about! The games are so simple, and there's hardly any sound effects with no music! Trying to not have any dead air was a real challenge here.
Overall, I think this is a really neat console! The game selection is quite extensive and has so many classics and games that I didn't even know about that I think are neat too! Yeah, I had some complaints about them but I think the console has so much more 'good' than it does 'bad' if I were to quantify it.
I just think this console is really cool and awesome!
Like I said in the video, I do plan on doing at least one more video with this console, as I didn't show too many games here. What does everyone think about the theme I suggested - sampling AVGN's 'Atari Sports' lineup that happens to be on here?
One thing I forgot to mention was that you need the console near you to start the game. That's neither a positive or negative because that's how it originally was. But I did forget to mention it while talking about my experience, so I'm mentioning it here. I guess I would call it inconvenient if I *had* to give it a word, but that's not fair because that's how the original console was designed. If anything, it's actually a positive because it's giving an authentic Atari 2600 experience in that regard. :)
And oddly enough, the Happauge couldn't pick up sound through this thing either, so I decided to just go with the external USB mic than to try something else which might screw up the capture card (like the Dreamgear console did...).
