InnovaX5 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 After decades of swearing that I would never own a 5200 due to its size, controller issues and other known problems, I finally got one. I took one look at Shawn's auction for his modified 5200 'mini' auction and decided I had to bid. Let me tell you, that incredible little bundle was worth every single cent and more. That Atarimax cart is just icing on the cake! What a perfect way to start a brand new collecting obsession for me. I don't know if I love you or hate you Shawn, you did an amazing job on this console and controller. You've cursed me into wanting more for the 5200 now. I already know AA games are on my list next and I'm going to have to find another custom 5200 controller so I can two player it up with my gf. I just hope the second controller that I manage to find is as fantastic as the one Shawn made. Anyhow, welcome home 5200, its time to play some Mario Bros. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Congratulations!!! Just the trakball controller is all you need and another controller for Robotron 2084 and Space Dungeon and you are all set to go. That is a sweet job he did on the console and love that arcade stick!! Welcome to the 5200 Brotherhood! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Oh yeah...Robotron and Space Dungeon are really good games and the 5200 controller actually plays well with each one. You'll want a joystick "controller coupler" for the games. Really does make a difference, for these twin-stick games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
