[@themanwithnoname4723]

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!

[@rebelmoon9059]

Same I Had have a 2600 a friend later a 5200 Than i got a C64 and my sis an nes Lucky me 😛

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

[@luvmenow33]

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

Gremlins looks close to NES graphics. Nice seeing how later games push the systems.

[@ginormousaurus8394]

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.

[@pumzilla54]

had the 2600 for 3 years sold it and all the games to help my mom pay for it ( it was close to $300- 1982) one of my favorite memories x-mas 82. Still love the 5200

[@davidvfx]

There are games in the 8bits family Atari could not ever posible in the Nes: Ballblazer, rescued in fractalus, staraider.

[@bast01]

But ballblazer has a nes version and it's pretty much the same

[@davidvfx]

@@bast01 the detail is that you notice that it is inferior, the Atari despite being a less new console and that handles fewer pixels on the screen exceeds Nes in 2.5D games, this gives us to understand that in many aspects the consoles did not surpass 8-bit computers in their entirety, they stand out in many aspects.

[@ShamrockParticle]

@Alex B. Marques the NES music is worse, had blocker graphics, no antialiasing to smooth it... the NES was not designed for that genre game. It excels at tile-based platformers, something Atari could do... but not as well...

[@johntaylor6837]

My stepfather had the Atari 800 computer and a handful of those games had similar graphics to 5200: centipede, missle command, star raiders, pac man, jungle hunt, defender but i didn’t see asteroids for 5200.

[@ferndog1461]

Donkey Kong on Atari 800 was the best...

[@luvmenow33]

Rescue on fractlus was awesome. And star raider worked well with the keypad

[@Sinn0100]

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.

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.

[@DTM-Books]

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.

[@OrionsAngel]

@@DTM-Books Yeah I know, but I wanted it to be it's own thing.

[@DTM-Books]

@@OrionsAngel I hear you. A 5200 Mini would be outstanding if 1) they could build analog joysticks that don’t break down, and 2) they could get all the arcade titles, particularly the non-Atari ones. I’m looking at you, Defender and Robotron! Heck, add in the homebrew port of MULE and I’ll buy two.

[@OrionsAngel]

@@DTM-Books Yes, exactly.

[@matteozurli269]

My first console was an Atari 7800 which, to be honest, didn't seem much superior than a 5200. My favorite game was Commando and Xenophobe

[@jinchoung]

huh. kind of shocking how minimally better these are from the 2600 versions. like really really low effort ports. at least frogger looked and sounded a lot better.

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?

@Azure Lake 6. It could set your house on fire.

[@ExtremeWreck]

@Azure Lake Ok, what you just said is a *PLANET SIZED* understatement. I don't think ANY Atari 5200 controller worked at all.

[@ginormousaurus8394]

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.

[@daviniarobbins9298]

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.

[@JohnyTheWizKid]

Have you checked out Angry Video game nerd's episode on this console? I think it wasn't explored well but that was back in 2007 before we could modify them.

[@sandal_thong8631]

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.

Thanks for this, most of these games are just arcade ports. There are a few I want to play but most of these games are no longer necessary as they aren't superior to the arcade nor are they their own take on the material.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Yeah, I saw a 5200 at the thrift store, but by then I didn't want it. Plus it might not have worked. I picked up a bunch of Arcade Classics CD ROMS for Playstation that use the actual arcade code and graphics and not a port.

Games on 5200 were the best at the time. If only it would have been able to play 2600 carts out of the box it would have dominated. Big oversight. Costly mistake. I’m sorry...

[@sandal_thong8631]

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!
