Brian R. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Bigger than an Xbox... AND damn sexier! I love my 5200. It was the "holy grail," the last Atari console I had to add to my collection. And to think, now I have TWO! And they both work! And the cartridges - don't forget those beautiful cartridges.

Master Phruby Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have to admitt those cartridges are beautiful. They look like something the 800XL would use. I have twenty of them and I still don't have a 5200.

Brian R. Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 There's a joy you get from handling a 5200 cart you can't get with a disc. Of course, handle the disc too much and you'll just scratch it and it won't work. Store a 5200 cart in a cardboard box in a garage for 20 years and it will still work. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/191743-5200-brotherhood/page/4/#findComment-2548573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, handle the disc too much and you'll just scratch it and it won't work. Store a 5200 cart in a cardboard box in a garage for 20 years and it will still work. You are right. It is especially satisfying to switch games without having to turn the 5200 off and on.

atari5200dude82 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 All 5200 fans, Join the brotherhood and show some love for the Atari 5200. Thank you for your continue support. Any 5200 brotherhoods out there have any ideas to make buttons, pins or t-shirts, with the 5200 brotherhood logo. We need some 5200 brotherhood gifts. Any ideas for a logo. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/191743-5200-brotherhood/page/4/#findComment-2593737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Phruby Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 it's funny I haven't joined since I rebuilt my 5200 about a year ago. I'm the proud owner of a mint 5200 and atarimax cart. It's one of my favorite systems. It reminds me of my old 8bit days without the floppy drives. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/191743-5200-brotherhood/page/4/#findComment-3006744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosystemsearch Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) I can understand liking the 5200 overall, but anyone who justifies the stock joystick for it is a deluded fool. It had a pause button, yes, but the fire buttons were mushy, the keypad buttons had poorly made aluminum contacts that easily broke if pushed too hard, and a joystick that didn't recenter itself, making Pacman, missile command, and games that weren't like Pole position or Robotron 2084 a nightmare. :-o :-o Edited June 8, 2014 by Prosystemsearch Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/191743-5200-brotherhood/page/4/#findComment-3006818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
