Rick Dangerous Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Then why didn't you just make a poll? Lol. I have a two port modded and would be happy to answer such a poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE5200 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I still say that 4 port Rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have a 2 port and a 4 port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I only like the 4 ports units. Own two myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool80skid Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have a 4 port and love it. My brother-and-law gave me the 2600 adapter which I cannot use, since my 4 port would need to be modded. I have considered buying the fully populated 4 port motherboard from atari best that does work with the adapter. However the cost to me does not justify it since I use my coleco 2600 adapter already.

0078265317 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I had a 4 port as a kid and still have a 4 port. My cousins from california had a 2 port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have the two and four port models also! Need the four port to play Pitfall , Mountain King, and Krazy Shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 got my first 2 port in the marketplace, $30 plus ship = $46, came with 2 controllers, one good, one almost good, and a stack of games. Got my second 2 port at goodwill, $3, no hookups, no nothing- but it works. I don't need the 4 port because I play alone, and the USB cart has fixed versions of pitfall etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 My sole working 5200 is a 2-port, as was my original 80's 5200, which got fried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballblaɀer Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Not quite a poll, but I did put together a stat sheet partially based on the serial number thread here in the forum. Both of my 5200s are 4-port. Hoping to trade one out for an asterisk model at some point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have both, but use the 4-port mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have a 4-port. I might pick up a 2-port but it's on the back burner - same with doing an AV and power mod to the 4-port - until I get some rebuilt joysticks with the gold contacts and another Trak-Ball [or 3].

BassGuitari Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Two 4-ports and a 2-port here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEtalGuy66 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 4-port with the following mods: * Direct connect power * Direct connect Composite Video Out * Direct connect Audio Out * Direct connect S-Video Out * VCS Adapter compatibility mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 2 port boxed new 2 port with Atari Service sticker on it, my beloved "Galaxian" console used on the HSC. 4 port Asterisk boxed new 4 port Asterisk in a 5200 carrying case 4 port , my first 5200 & main gaming console on the HSC. 4 port, my back up. I vastly prefer the cosmetics of the 4 port over the 2 port, mainly because the 4 port is shiny black , smooth , and so Star Wars influenced, where as the 2 port has the textured compartment door and bezel. None are modded, some have been repaired over the years. I would like to eventually pick up a 4 port to have the direct power and composite/s-video mods done, the audio out would be really cool for hooking up to a Bose Lifestyle system, but truthfully none are a big priority for me, 34 years after the fact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
