Starstormer Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm not particularly active here but recently got into collecting again. I came across a refurbished 5200 with refurbished controllers. So far been playing it and getting some good use of the games I have (missile command, Pac-Man, Galaxian, Pole Position, Breakout), though I'm fairly new to atari, if anyone has any tips or game recommendations I'd love to hear them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edladdin Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 For the 5200 I really love: Dreadnaught Factor Gyruss Moon Patrol Pengo Space Dungeon w/ a Trak-Ball Centipede Galaxian Missile Command Space Invaders Berzerk, Megamania, and Popeye are also good games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Defender and Qix are good ports and work really well with the stock controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstormer Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks and thanks! I don't have a trakball controller, but might try for it down the line. Conveniently the local retro place does buy two get one on atari games, and pretty sure I saw Defender, Qix and Berzerk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnakiMana Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I'm also getting into the 5200 for the first time. Mine is delivered tomorrow! But mine comes with one partially working controller, so I'll need to pick up another and then refurb both myself. The podcast sounds interesting, I'll check it out!
