Sega And Atari Classic Consoles' Prices Announced

SNES Classic isn't the only option retro-gaming fans will have this year; new plug-and-play versions of classic Sega and Atari systems are also slated to arrive in fall. Today, AtGames has revealed prices for the retro consoles, which fans will be able to pre-order later this month.

The Sega Genesis Flashback, the latest plug-and-play version of Sega's most iconic console, will retail for $80 when it releases. The system comes pre-loaded with a selection of 85 games, including those from classic series such as Mortal Kombat, Shining Force, and Phantasy Star. The console also features a cartridge port that allows you to play "almost all" original Genesis cartridges, two ports for wired controllers, as well as a slew of modern amenities, including two wireless Genesis-style controllers, 720p HDMI output, and a save/pause/rewind feature for every game.

It also supports 720p HDMI output and features scanline filtering and the ability to save/pause/rewind for every title.

The two Flashback consoles are the high-end offerings from AtGames' lineup. The company has also announced several other versions of the Sega and Atari consoles, which retail for $60 each and likewise release this fall. You can find out more about those versions on AtGames' website.
