    Does anyone know if this beastie - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATARI-PLUG-AND-PLAY-JOYSTICK-CONTROLLER-RCA-PLUGS-AND-PRELOADED-GAMES-NICE-/121068280673 - is likely to be one of those that only works with NTSC TVs or is it likely to be usable over here?

    From what little I know this shouldn't be a problem, but I thought it would be worth checking out.

    Are there other versions of this (with different games) or is this the only version?

    Cheers,

    z

    [edit] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_(Jakks_Pacific) - indicates there's only one version. I wonder if there are later ones from other manufacturers which might support other games. I have the Atari iOS app which has the ROMs for a load of 2600 games - it would be cool if they could be loaded on a joystick like this.

    The eBay one would most likely be a NTSC so not play well with a normal TV unless you have a TV which handles NTSC just fine.

    The Atari Flashback 2 can be modded to add a cartridge slot
