| | Atari 5200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Atari 5200 also suffered from its software incompatibility with the Atari 2600, though an adapter was later released in 1983 allowing it to play all Atari 2600 games, using the more reliable controllers native to that system. | | | The Atari 5200 is a video game console introduced in 1982 by Atari. | | | While the 5200 did garner a strong cult following with its library of high quality games, it faced an uphill battle competing with the Colecovision's head start and a stuttering economy. |

| | Atari7800.com - The ATARI 5200 SuperSystem |
| | The Atari 5200 SuperSystem was born in 1980 as an idea inside the inner catacombs of Atari's development labs as the "Intellivision killer" which was to be the next generation in home gaming from Atari. | | | The Atari 5200 SuperSystem also introduced basic new concepts which would revolutionize the gaming industry, such as a pause option, and four player controller ports on the front of the unit. | | | What also didn't catch on with the gaming public was that the 5200 had been designed as Atari's answer to the Intellivision, and it did indeed put Mattel's Intellivision to shame. |

| | On the other side of the coin, the 5200 offered 2 different firing buttons, which was a big deal when you were used to the 2600's single button stick, which rendered multi-button ports like 2600 Defender into a completely different game. | | | Although few games use these during gameplay, there are a few that do, such as the 5200 Defender game, and especially 5200 Star Raiders. | | | any people have realized that they are quite nostalgic about the Classic Gaming years, and love the Atari 2600 and all its many games. |

| | Most of the games for this system were produced by Atari, as the system didn't have a long enough life for many third party companies to join on. | | | Unlike the Atari 2600, the 5200 has a much smaller library of games, making it one of the easiest systems to build a complete library for. | | | If you plan on purchasing a 5200 system to play games on, be sure to get the 2-port version as this one uses a standard RF box. |

| | On 5200 Missile Command, the cursor jumps from middle of the screen to a bottom corner of the screen while I play the game. | | | First try both rebuilt CX52 Joysticks on both ports 1 and 2 (two player 5200 Game cartridge) to see if the problem is in a particular Joystick port or a 5200 Motherboard problem. | | | On the 5200 Game Super Breakout, the Cursor will not go far left or right. |

| | All you have to do, is plug in the CX55 adapter into your 5200 top cartridge port, install a 2600 game in the top of the "T" shaped CX55 and install one of two Atari CX40 joysticks on the sides of the CX55 and turn on your Atari 5200 2 port console. | | | The problems with the Atari 5200 CX52 Joysticks have been well known for years (Mushy Fire Buttons that go bad, Start-Pause-Reset buttons that go bad and Flex Circuits that fail). | | | You will have to use 1 to 2 Atari CX40 style Joysticks on the CX55 adapter. |

| | The successor of the wildly successful Atari 2600, the 5200 was never the success Atari planned it to be, owing much to its inability to play 2600 games and its horrible controllers. | | | Basically a portable version of the Sega Master System, the Game Gear was a color portable released in the early '90s. | | | The Amstrad (also known by other names, such as the Amstrad CPC) was an early '80s computer system which was popular in Europe. |

| | OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum |
| | The Atari 5200 SuperSystem, released in late 1982 for $270 (USA), was the direct follow-up to the highly successful Atari 2600 (VCS), and predecessor of the Atari 7800 ProSystem. | | | Atari chose to design the 5200 around technology used in their popular Atari 400/800 8-bit computer line, but was not directly compatible, unlike Atari’s much later pastel-colored XEGS (XE Game System) console. | | | The Atari 5200, as designed, was more powerful than Mattel’s Intellivision and roughly equivalent to Coleco’s ColecoVision, both of which were the 2600’s main competition at the time and the systems Atari had to target in order to remain technologically competitive in the console marketplace. |

| | The hotel version of the 5200 would typically come with four or five games built in, and allowed the user to use the system's joystick to control the TV. | | | The system utilized analog control sticks, which made playing the popular maze-games of the time difficult. | | | Its major competing system was the Coleco Vision, however Atari's sizable arcade licenses would tip the limited consumer base in favor of the 5200. |
