Manufacturer description

The AtGames Bandai Namco Flashback Blast! is a small arcade console that plugs straight into your TV's HDMI port. No cables to run and no discs to load. Eight arcade games are built in: Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Xevious, Mappy, Sky Kid and The Tower of Druaga. These are the arcade versions, not home ports, so you get the cabinet-era rules and difficulty. You play with the included 2.4G wireless controller, which lets you sit back on the couch instead of staying close to the TV. Video runs at 720p HD with stereo sound. Save and rewind let you pick up a long Tower of Druaga run…
