Atari 5200


during fierce battles with the intellivision and the colecovision, atari decided to make a console that will replace the 2600. but ironically, the 5200 failed. here’s why:

1: the system was incompatible with 2600 games.

2: there was a whole sh-tload of re- release t-tles.

3: they have a software library that failed to hit triple digits.

4: they created the most hated controller of all time.

the controller: sure it has a pause b-tton and a 360- joystick, but it didn’t recenter properly and it was so fragile that it will break after just a few hours of play.
-bonus!- did you know that you could plug in a sega genesis controller into a 2600 and it will work? as for the atari 5200, there are third party controllers to replace the sh-tty ones that the system came with.
