  1. In late 1982, we were early adopters of the 5200. We even bought two extra controllers as soon as it was available and we played Super Breakout for endless hours with the family altogether. Imagine for a second how exciting it could have been, the score numbers rolled fast with that high pitched whistling sound and you are competing with three other members of your family. Those years were about momentum and family fun. I think Atari got it right.
  2. Super Breakout is one of my favorite games of the 5200. By all means, besides the home made 5200 paddles, Super Breakout is best played with a (working) CX52 controller, even more so than the 5200 track-ball. There were no controller issues with games that make good use of the analog controllers when the 5200 was launched.
  3. I would like to add that i am also interested in a non-modded 5200 preferably serviced.
  4. It was 83, i use to get calls from my friend and i soon as i picked up the phone, he passed it to his older brother. His older brother : "Coleco is better", i use to own a 5200. Fun times.
  5. Hello friends, I sold my Atari 5200 to a friend last year, so I want to purchase another modded Atari 5200 (the console with AC and one controller, if you have one) Preferably the 4 port glossy finish, but a 2 port will do this time. PM with price and merry Christmas
  6. It is so surprising to see an update of the 5200 controller after so many years. It looks wonderful ... Bravo ! I'll get at least one for sure ...
  7. When you look on the back of the box, this computer is made to do so many tasks but all I can remember when I went to my friends house who owned a Commodore 128, was playing games.
  8. If I were you I'd sell it to a member here. But that is just me. I stop holding on to things I don't use ...
  9. I am sure he will be happy ! Btw, I already had the trak-ball NIB 12 years ago, when it was easier to snatch one on eBay. Beautiful package design. High quality product. But this one, I had to let it go, since I kind of prefer Centipede and Super Breakout on the actual controllers. I never got into Missile Command but I know that it is the game for the trak-ball.
  10. Hi friends, As much as I love the cool design, I realised that I prefer to play Centipede with the stock controllers. In perfect working order ... 85$ + actual shipping from Canada If you happen to have a a gold upgraded stock controller , or maybe a Wico, or a Competition pro, let me know Henry
