About
This monstrously big system could eat a PS3 for breakfast. This system even featuring a “trunk” to house its unique non centering controllers. Essentially a re-branded Atari 400 computer with analog joysticks, this console featured enhanced graphics over its predecessor (similar to Colecovision), but was plagued with controllers that were difficult to use and broke easily. Fans of the 5200 are better served by purchasing refurbished controllers or the third-party Wico controller. The 5200 has lots of fun games in it’s library. An adaptor can be added to play Atari 2600 games. Many 8-bit ports have been released in recent years increasing the library size.
