Atari 5200 Manuals

Atari 2600 ManualsMost games for the 2600 really aren't all that difficult to figure out and thus the need for a manual isn't so great. There are some exceptions, for instance, you wouldn't want to have a go at Space Shuttle without the manual (and overlays!), but most 2600 games you can just plug in and go. However, it is nice to have the manuals for reference and of course the completionist will want them for his or her collection. Besides the raw instructions on how to play the game many manuals also contained a back story (really!), colorful artwork and even tips from the game's designer. Most 2600 manuals were printed in full color and were typically delivered in booklet style using staples to keep the pages together.

At present we do not yet have scans of many 2600 manuals online, as it takes some time to scan, crop and resize the large number (hundreds!) of manuals available for the 2600. These will be coming online soon, but in the meantime we do have a sizeable collection of HTML manuals that you can browse.
