Earlier this month, we told you about AtGames’ plans to bring back. both the Atari 2600 and Sega Genesis in a number of new formats, including consoles and handhelds. But today, the company showed just how serious it was when it came to paying tribute to classic games, providing new gameplay videos featuring the Sega Genesis Flashback and the Atari Flashback 8 Gold consoles in action.

In the videos, you can see what kind of features are included in both, including the easy-to-use user interface where you can select games, footage that show the games’ visual and audio quality (say goodbye to lousy music in Sega Genesis games), wireless controllers, game save capabilities and even the ability to rewind to certain points in the game.
In case you missed it, here’s a description of both systems. You’ll find the gameplay videos below.
