David Alexander Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Congratulations! Really nice to have mint "big sexy" in a collection. BTW, you have to add this to the 5200 Serial Number thread. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/171005-5200-serial-number-thread/page-5 I added a picture of the serial number to the thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Alexander Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thank you very much Matt Daley from the Atari 5200 Super community Podcast for sending me these to games for free. Loved Vanguard as a Kid but never played football. These will come in handy for future game reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazball Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hey guys, excellent podcast! I just listened this weekend and you can consider me a regular listener now. It's great to see the 5200 getting some love, as we all know it has always been sorely overlooked. Anyways, just wanted to say thanks for making it and to please keep them coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glazball Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Looking forward to it! I have to admit I'm not usually a podcast guy, but I'm glad I took the time to listen (and will continue to do so). Since the 5200 has always been on a pedestal to me (along with other underdog and underappreciated consoles like TG-16 and Dreamcast), it's just great to hear some discussion about it. One thing I would really like to see - and maybe you guys could help organize a real push for this - is a nice RGB mod for the 5200. Maybe we could petition Darktim (of NESRGB and 2600RGB fame) to work his magic for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for the shout-out. Now I have to go play Wizard of Wor! I plan to buy this game as soon as its in the AA store. And we will definitely mention it again as soon as I have had some play time By the way how do you like the podcast minus the audio problems of the 2nd episode ?

+Ryan Witmer Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 By the way how do you like the podcast minus the audio problems of the 2nd episode ? It's great, I find it interesting that so much discussion seems centered around controllers, though. I might be an extreme outlier in that I never really had any gripes about the 5200 controllers apart from their durability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I never had any issues with my 5200 controller either however with that awful AVGN episode that got almost 6 million views and the Video Game Years video that got about 200,000 views has really helped malign a great system so we just wanted to make sure that the controller issue was addressed. Of course as we review games we will let the listeners know what controller, original or otherwise works best with what game. Looking forward to getting Ratcatcher, checking the AA store practically everyday Edited December 3, 2016 by Protestari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to getting Ratcatcher, checking the AA store practically everyday Also Classic Game Room's YouTube video review about the 5200 has about 200,427 views. He said its the worst videogame controller ever seen. So there's a lot of damage control to be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey.shake Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It's taken me too long, but I've finally listened to the first episode and loved it. Great work, and I'm looking forward to listening to Episode 2 (and hopefully finally getting to love Countermeasure). Thanks for making great content, and for getting even more positive info out there for the Great 5200! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
