Other than those issues, I have been happy with the system. It was a snap to setup and the menus are beautiful...much better than the Nintendo throwback system...and a bonus for all of your Dad's out there that coudn't play Call of Duty if you life depended on it with those 27 buttons on the Xbox or PS controller....now you can level the playing field with your kids on games that can't be beat, saved or cheated....all with a simple joystick! I actually beat my son at a game today for the first time is like 15 yrs...haha!
I hope they can add the other games someday as they are sorely missed....It's also nice that you don't have to play a game that lasts several hrs...some games are over in less than a minute.

I like they kept the same pixel and sounds, making it nostalgic.
I used to have an atari very long time ago, was a passed down.
I loved asteroid , centipede, and jungle hunt etc
This is a great way for future generations to appreciate the original video games.
Only negative is you can not update or connect to internet to get more games. Atari/ activision are missing a great opportunity.
Eg downloading or renting pac man for instance, sharing scores with other online users.
Good quality, many games
