I am watching these games with nostalgia, too.

I was born in 1980. I had an Atari 2600. Got it around 1986. A friend in in 1987 had a 5200. I remember being in awe of the graphics for Ms. Pac-Man with the cut scenes. I remember most kids had the 2600 but a few had the NES. As a kid at the time I loved Super Breakout, Combat, Kangaroo, Pong, Donkey Kong!

Thanks! I thought it may of been Frenzy as it reminded me a lot of Berzerk. I knew it wasnt Kaboom,

I played most of these games on my Atari 800 XL.. A very pleasant part of my childhood.

And the controller [aside from breaking] was not hard to use once you got used to it. This system gets a bad rap from people on the internet who probably played it for 5 minutes

Get the gold upgrade kit to keep using 5200 Analog joysticks.

PSA: when emulating Atari 5200/800, always have a keyboard attached. Also, look up YT ETA Prime's walkthrough for RetroPie /Atari800 settings. You booted but on a Black screen? F1, F4, F5 are your friends.

I'd love an Atari 5200 Mini. That's an under appreciated console. There are some amazing arcade ports on the 5200. Centipede, Moon Patrol, Berzerk & Robotron 2084 to name a few. It would also give Atari a chance to redeem themselves by actually making the controller work well.

Well, Atari included 5200 support on their new 400 Mini (since it uses the same hardware). Unfortunately, the controls are a mess and we're still trying to find a way to make them work properly. Hopefully, that will be fixed soon.

Gremlins was reportedly produced in 1984, but was shelved because the Atari 5200 was discontinued. The Gremlins cartridges sat in a warehouse for a couple of years before Atari decided to clear out the stock and release them for sale. It's too bad, because the 5200 version of Gremlins looks like an interesting game for its time. It makes me wonder what might have been if there were more innovative games for the 5200 instead of rehashes of Atari 2600 releases.

Great video! I started slightly after this with the Nes in 1985 and Sega Master System in 1986. Even though I was really young and very casual, I always liked video games. It wasn't until 1989 that I truly became a diehard gamer with the Sega Genesis. That Christmas changed me in a big way. I continued onward and got an Snes in 1991 and Sega CD in 1992. I have never stopped and I won't ever look back. My only issue with this machine Atari 5200 is the sound. My God, it's the single most unpleasant thing I have ever heard. Some of the games were graphically impressive but the sound just hurts my head.

Reasons why the Atari 5200 failed: -Poor controller. -Pack-in game Super Breakout failed to show off the console's capabilities. -Initial 5200 model was unable to play Atari 2600 games. -Lack of original games. Most 5200 games were rehashes of games that had been released on other systems. -The 5200 had to compete in a crowded market against the Atari 2600, Odyssey 2, Intellivision, ColecoVision, Vectrex, and home computers. -The 5200 was more expensive than the ColecoVision, which also launched in 1982.

A toast to the biggest fukin game console ever made.

Man... if only this hadn't flopped. This looks LEAGUES better than the 2600! And, fun fact, 2600+2600=5200. Just thought that was a cute detail. Atari WAS gaming back in the early days, and MAN do I wish they were still around...

I read Atari got the price down for the 2600 and after selling 10 million through 1981, sold 2-5 million more 2600 Consoles in 1982-3, mainly through Pac-Man Fever and its port. This was just before ColecoVision and the 5200 launched so the 2600 actually hurt sales of both, though it captured 70% market share. Maybe if someone else got exclusive rights to Pac-Man?

Gyress looks alot like polybius. Or is that just me?

The perfect amount of games.

Que recuerdos jugue cada uno de ellos pero te faltaron muchos tengo como 130 en cartucho esperando encontrar como jugarlos

Why don't they make the new Atari 2600+ to make cartridges with the same graphics and one button control as most of these games where on the 2600 and or the 7800

I think the problem with the 5200(apart from the awful joysticks that is) is that it wasn't backwards compatible with 2600 games(well not without an adapter or something). What Atari should have done was make it backwards compatible and faded out production of 2600 consoles. Instead they diluted the market with two consoles. At least Commodore withdrew the Vic-20 computer when the 64 was released.

Wrong. The SNES didn't fail because you couldn't play NES games! Every sale of the 2600 adapter for ColecoVision was the loss of at least one game sale, plus money spent on any 2600 games for it. Atari should have retired the 2600 in January 1982, and launched the 5200 with Pac-Man. Pac-Man Fever would have sold the console. I don't know that that's correct about the VIC-20 either. I never got the idea that it wasn't supported just because the C-64 was on the market. I still bought cartridges and game magazines and games on tape.

Nice.

NO WAY! The SNES didn't play NES games and that did just fine. People wanted the better SNES when it came out to play its games. Atari sabotaged its own system by releasing Pac-Man in 1982 for the 2600 before its 5200 was launched. Had they retired it after Christmas 1981 and released Pac-Man only on the 5200 then the Crash of 1983 might not have happened. Instead they sold 2-5 million more 2600s, and disappointment and oversaturation killed the console market that the 2600 had 70% share of, so they released no new 2600 games in 1985!
