Yes, of course, but they aren't comparable to a homecomputer - under
the conditions (optional keyboard, disks etc.) of the one who mentioned
the C64-thing here.

At least not in my book. ;o)

By the way - the Flashback 2 has built-in games like the others (there
are also Famicom-clones) but can be upgraded ("hacked") with a real
cartridge port to play other 2600-games.
Together with the C64-thing its probably the best hardware emulation of
these platforms available today.
