Collection: Atari 5200

The Atari 5200 was Atari's bold follow-up to the legendary 2600, released in 1982 to bring arcade-quality gaming into the home. Designed with improved graphics, sound, and more powerful hardware, the 5200 targeted serious gamers looking for a richer experience. Its distinctive analog controllers, though controversial, introduced innovations like a pause button and numeric keypad. While its library was smaller than its predecessor's, the 5200 delivered enhanced versions of classics like Missile Command, Pac-Man, and Centipede.
