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.

The all-new Atari Flashback 8 Gold features 120 built-in all-time favorites. Games include legends like Activision's Pitfall! and Taito's Space Invaders, as well as many other all-time Atari 2600 classics like Kaboom!, River Raid, Centipede, and Millipede. Two all new, high performance 2.4ghz wireless controllers, styled after the Atari 2600 originals, are included, as well as two legacy controller ports for optional wired joysticks or paddles. Other all new features for the Atari Flashback 8 Gold include 720p HDMI output, scan line filtering, and a save/pause/rewind feature for every game.

The all-new Sega Genesis Flashback has a stunning new design, reminiscent of the original console, and features 85 built-in games as well as an integrated cartridge port that plays almost all of your favorite Sega Genesis and Mega Drive original cartridges. Built-in all-time favorites include the Sonic series, Mortal Kombat series, Phantasy Star series, and Shining Force series games. Two new high performance 2.4ghz wireless controllers, styled after the Sega Genesis originals, are included, as well as two legacy controller ports for optional wired gamepads. Other new features for the Sega Genesis Flashback include 720p HDMI output, scan line filtering, and a save/pause/rewind feature for every game.
