My mother worked for Atari in Sunnyvale Ca. I had THE BEST childhood ever . I had every single game plus hundreds that were never released . I loved going to work with her and staying in the arcade rooms all day long at the headquarters. This video was so nostalgic for me . Thank you !

Wow!!!!!!! Do you still have your COLLECTION??

I LOVED my Atari 5200. Jungle Hunt, Qix, Frogger, and Super Breakout were some of my favorite games.

Sigh. What happy memories! I played about half of these. My two favorites were "Star Raiders" and "The Dreadnaught Factor." I actually built my own controller so my best friend and I could play "Star Raiders" simultaneously (one player controlled the ship, the other fired the weapons). Incredible programming. My thanks to all these game designers for making my childhood so happy. :)

I recognized Countermeasure when I saw it. Even after 35 years, my spouse still remembers that tank, and I still remembered all of those square anti-tank guns trying to fire at the tank!

One of my favorite 5200 games!

I never owned one of these, but it is cool to see all the games that were created for it. I only had a 2600 :)

that was like watching a montage of my childhood. Moon Patrol, Popeye, Kangaroo, Pacman were my all time faves back then.. so many memories. That was cool backround music too.

rescue on fractalus and keystone keepers were my favorites. thanks for the list and the flashback to the past.

How do you turn off the music?

The background music ruined this. Please reupload without it.

I remember playing some of these on a demonstration unit at Wal-Mart.

Wish I could turn off the background music

I remember plenty of these games from my Atari 130XE.

Awesome!!

Wow, and I thought that NES/DOS/SMS video games I grew up with were old. Great video, really interesting. Machine does look more powerful than I thought it was, and some games would still be fun to play today. Jėga!

My first console Atari 5200

Looks like some had good graphics for the time. Pac-Man actually looks like Pac-Man, unlike the 2600 version which was really intended by the programmer to be the prototype.

I still hook up my old 5200 and play now and then. What a great system!

Thank you.

my dad told me the real value of real gaming thank you atari

Nostalgia back to the time when the controls were easy to manage, unlike the 50,000 knobs and button of an Xbox today.

Joust for the 5200 was one of my all-time favorite home video games.

I remember the arcade versions of many of these! Pretty decent ports!

I owned a Colecovision instead. Both underrated consoles. They would of been more successful if the industry didnt crash.

The Colecovision was fairly successful for the time, the 5200 wasn't mostly due to it's design and the awful controller

This is simply untrue. The CV was successful and came out first. As it was dying down - mainly due to lackluster and few releases later, the 5200 which had started slowly due to lackluster initial lineup was coming into its own with the 2nd and 3rd batch of releases. Outstanding ports like dig dug, joust, ms pac, kangaroo, moon patrol, robot Ron, etc. sadly tempest, jr pac, super pac, and others were virtually complete before cancellation. At the time however the 5200 was already reported by retailers to now be outselling the coleco and coming to the forefront - as reported by the premiere mag at the time EG. The myth about the “hated” controls is a modern day creation. They were subpar… though good gamers simply adjusted… and at that point we also didn’t know how fragile they were. Don’t believe what millennial or gen z people tell you… bc they heard it from another millennial lol.

Love the music! Outstanding !

Gremlins,H.E.R.O.,K-razy shootout,Megamania,Missile Comand,MS Pacman,Pacman,those game are a part of my life,those was good game,not C.O.D. Your argument is invalid.

I had no idea people made 3d games for that thing man... Just... Wow.

A hundred years from now, artificial systems designers will view this like modern biologists view life 3.5 billion years ago. Here man is creating a precursor to a complex environment that rivals our own. One that will one day be created.

the music in the background totally fits with the video games. nice music choice!

I miss my console. Some of these games I never heard of. You forgot Yard Revenge.

Please answer me. What music is playing at 4:40

The loud music is clashing with the gameplay footage.

Good soundtrack!

Qix was an addictive game!

Miner 2049er is probably my favorite 5200 game.

Same could be said of the 7800.

All of these games in this video are games I'd like to try. The Atari 5200 is a misunderstood console. It gets a bad rep because of the controller. But today the controller is not really an issue. Today you can get refurbished controllers with better parts, or you can fix it yourself. You can also get an adapter to use a sega genesis controller.

Plus there's a aftermarket controller for it now, it's a control pad with the keypad buttons. Wish I knew about it sooner as I would have gotten a 5200 sooner.

We never owned a 5200 but I swear I played some of these...maybe at Malls, at friends houses? Though I think by this time I'd moved on to playing games on the family Apple II+ because of the higher resolution graphics.

My brother and i wanted a Nintendo for Christmas but the sales man conned my parents into buy an atari 5200. He said the Japanese made system was junk and wouldn’t be around long and atari was the future. What a disappointing Christmas. At age six I knew my parents made a grave mistake. The damn controllers wouldn’t last a month.

At least the games were pretty good.

The "memory is a dream" music is way too much

some of these games were shit for 5200. some were amazing. like this thing had more goodness than the 7800.

No se ven tan mal.

Buck Rodgers looks better on Coleco and despite the slightly enhanced graphics the Activision titles are much more fun to play on the 2600. Frogger and Q-bert are a joke cause you have to hold down the fire buttons when you move, what were Parker Brothers thinking???

@@quirkythestarling5749 That's not Asteroids! I owned a 5200. I also owned Asteroids. Owned it on all 3 systems. Asteroids was an Atari original arcade game. There would have been no need for an alternate title. Notice they didn't bastardize Missile Command, Defender, or Pole Position - all Atari original arcade games.

It's a shame this console flopped as hard as it did. It's a cool idea (heck they just added another 2600 to the original 2600 for crying out loud), but the execution was INCREDIBLY poor. The controller is a mess, the extra adapter is weird, and it could've REALLY used some more support games-wise. But, for some reason, I can't help but wonder what it would have turned out like if those problems were never there and the system became successful. Maybe Atari would still be around today and be an honest rival to Nintendo. I dunno, fun thought.

Either go with the music, or stick to the original sounds. Not both, please. It's disturbing and spoiling the whole experience right from the start.

私はこれらのゲームを全て持っていましたが焼却しました

Stayed for the games, hated the background music. My impression: many of the 5200 games are marginally better than the 2600 versions. There are some however, like Zaxxon that are major improvements. Interesting that Activision titles are almost identical. This is why I favor the 7800. You get some huge improvements on games like Dig Dug and Donkey Kong and the entire 2600 library.

Y para que esa música tan fea

Glad I never bought one. Worst ever controllers aside the slightly better graphics and sound was not worth the cost.

Thumbs DOWN for the annoying bg music.

wow, I never realized how similar this was to C64. Also, please anyone, never ever unload your subdued artsy urges with especially expressionistic youtube videos. Just go to an art gallery and satisfy yourself there please. Don't force anyone to be exposed to your urges while we're only here for totally something else. OK? please be considerate. By the way, this whole unnecessary production makes me feel very depressed. After watching this, this video killed any possible minuscule chance of being further interested in this console and yes it's due to this fucking disturbing, depressing, irritating and unnecessary production with this shit music.

too bad the 5200 had the most dogshit controllers of all time. coulda been much better if it did.

Atari was a very bad console ,Nintendo was a 1000 times much better Atari was the responsible of the 1983 video crisis ,because Atari games were of very bad quality

Worst. Controllers. EVER.

Vid would be great without the GARBAGE music over top!

who the fuck puts background craptastic EDM over the game sound? What a ridiculous thing to do.
