I highly endorse the Flashback 2's for anyone who's interested.  The Joysticks alone are worth it -- they are incredibly wonderful, and I use them (along with some Suncom TAC-2s) for most of my Atari playing these days.  They're fast and accurate.  The Flashback 2's games are great too, as the system contains real 2600-alike hardware.

Anyway, just wanted to chip in on that.  $40 a piece seems kinda steep though.  Didn't they retail for $29.99?  I guess they might be out of print now, and if that's the case, the price can be justified.
