Recieved a atari 5200 system for free

[atari5200dude82]

The other day i was at a used bookstore, they sell and trade video games there. i have a friend that works there, in the electronics dept. Somebody left a atari 5200 system and games there overnight. He wasn't sure if it worked or not. Who ever had it before. took a 4 port cover and put it on a 2 port system. It is missing the storage cover. it also came with 2 joysticks. One of them worked really well. The other was missing the firing buttons.He said i could have it for free, since it was left there overnight, and couldn't sell like it was. so i was excited. i got it home and fired it up. works great. it also came with gyruss, buck rogers, congo bongo , mario bros, games. Talk n about being at the right place at the right time and finding a treasure.

But what if the people who left it there over night come back for it.

Great deal!

Now go reward yourself with a nice game of Star Raiders - 5200 style!
