Set up my Atari to bring back some very old memories, but its brought back horror. The games are borderline unplayable. You need to sit 2 foot from the console due to the infrared. There's input lag. The games are rubbish (other than space invaders and 2 player snake which need remakes).
What are the Sega and spectrum console remakes like?

@themcnoisy: bad in my experience! The infrared controllers suck big time. Image and spound borked. Even on the real consoles the games rarely live up to expectations anymore. When I feel like playing a few retro games (commodore up to mega drive) I skim through the lets plays on YouTube and get my hit that way instead lol. Reminds me how they've aged! I am usually okay with PS1 onwards!
@themcnoisy: The Sega one is just bad it's mostly a bunch of homebrew games. I do have the Colecovision Flashback and it's decent. I mess around with it on occasion.

I played on the atari 2600 I think the one with the wooden finish. The controllers were all wired not sure how long they were. I remember the paddle being a good controller for certain games but the other stick controller used to hurt my thumb after a while. The best game for me was tennis and tanks
@dryrain: Yeah the paddles would be a big help for pong and breakout. To be fair these games have been done better since and the arcade versions are loads better. Centipede was terrible.
