INTV Burgertime the best??!?!? Have you ever played the Colecovision one? Its much much MUCH better. As a whole, I think the Atari 2600 is the best game system of all time. INTV was fun (all systems are somewhat fun) but in the end Atari will always be king. I think it follows what I won the Atariage T-shirt contest with: Good games Only Need 1 Red Button.

Although I have a deep love for my DC also I'm looking at getting a GC. The fact is Nintendo always makes high quality games and all of their systems got better over time. (Make believe the Virtual Boy never happened) The Xbox has like 3 good games and the rest suck. I'll buy it when it's on closeout for $79 The PS2 is ok and has a ton of games but most of them suck too. Again I'd only buy it on closeout. I'm hoping for GC to drop to $129 for XMAS. Until then I'll keep buying up the DC classics for $7.99!

The original short stick CV controllers are terrible hand cramping torture devices. However, the Super Action Controllers are my favorite stciks of all time. I wish I had a way to use those on every system I have.

If those sticks you mentioned were for replacing original PS1 controllers, they should be digital. Perhaps my memory fails me but the original PS1 had only a D Pad, no analog stick.

I, myself am new to the 5200 but so far I would recommend Countermeasure, Montazuma's Revenge, and Berzerk. Actually I've enjoyed almost everything I've played on the 5200 ( I even kind of like those evil joysticks!)

My many thanks to AtariAge and everybody who reads these forums.

Thanks man! I will email you right away. -Joe Kollar

Hello All, I won an auction for a 4 port 5200 with 40 games. When it arrived, it had the wrong power supply (an Atari 800 box) so I ordered the correct one from a website. I also have 3 switchboxes that all seem to work. My problem is that the unit will just not power up. The switchboxes "click" and I get the spark when plugging in the RF. I'm not technically savy enough to go poking around the insides of the 5200. This 5200 4 port has an asterisk in the seriel number so I think it's one of the ones that will accept the 2600 adapter. What I was hoping to find is someone with a extra working 2 (or 4) port 5200 that would be willing to trade for this unit. I would be willing to cover the shipping both ways. I would throw in a couple of doubles cartidges I have too. I would warn anyone that the joystick cover and expansion port covers are missing. You could keep the ones from you're unit. Thanks!
