A gift from a friend! It includes two joysticks with serial port 9 pins! 105 integrated games ![20180630_135314](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/d/d73d04dda96fe5caab5c2df752d876fa1c4c496f.jpg) ---

> [@ZakPhoenixMcKracken](#): > > It includes two joysticks with serial port 9 pins! That’s rad! I think Ron Gilbert would approve… Now all we need is someone to create a little console version of a C64 with all the classic Lucasfilm games on it. ---

I think it is. Connecting a keyboard to a keyboard in order to be able to type is still one of the stupidest things ever. ---

Let us know if those joysticks are still as ergonomical to handle… they look like the real thing : boxy, chunky, misleading circle around a 4-directional stick to make you believe you can move in any direction,… And what games you like (old and new favorites)? ---

I have the flashback 6 and it´s awesome (I think they have added only one game each for the last two updated ones). It came with two wireless controllers that need batteries and aren´t very good(very minor delay and just not the right feel). However you can still connect the classic ones to it and you can even still buy them for a good price if you need to! ---

Games included and tested: pong, pitfall, space invaders, Adventure (yes, the one present in the Ready Player One movie). Joysticks are the original ones: boxy, chunky, and so on. It’s funny anyway, a dive into the past
