The appearance of the Atari Flashback 2 is reminiscent of the original Atari 2600 console from 1977. A few of the included games are homebrews which were created by enthusiasts in recent years, and two of the games ("Pitfall!" and "River Raid") were originally published by Activision. Successor =The Atari Flashback 2, the successor to the original Atari Flashback console, was released in 2005. One game, "Saboteur" (originally designed by Howard Scott Warshaw), was advertised as "unreleased" though never part of the Atari lineup, it was sold at the Philly Classic 5 convention in 2004. As a result, the games it contained were ports and differed in varying degrees from the original games, and therefore the Flashback was unpopular with some purists. The Atari Flashback was based on " NES-on-a-chip" hardware, not resembling either of the Atari systems which the Flashback was supposed to represent. gave Legacy Engineering ten weeks to design the product, produce its games, and ready it for the 2004 Winter holiday season. It was designed by Atari veteran Curt Vendel, whose company designs other home video game and video arcade products. The games which originally required analog paddle controllers were made to work with the included joysticks. The system had twenty games built-in, all originally developed by Warner Communication's Atari Inc. The console resembled an Atari 7800 in appearance, and came with a pair of controllers which resembled those of the Atari 7800 but were slightly smaller. The Atari Flashback was released in 2004.
