Title: Re: Nice Atari 5200 at Yardsale Post by: MrFizzle on July 28, 2008, 12:25:04 PM i know the 5200 has many design flaws and is often looked upon as a failure but now that i own one i believe that it is actually a pretty good system especially since mine has the VCS adapter. i really like the controllers analogue stick and it is really responsive and wonderful for playing pac man.
i really enjoyed playing pac man on the 5200 especially since none of my controllers have broken yet. this is probably my favorite console to play pac man on Title: Re: Nice Atari 5200 at Yardsale Post by: DuncanR2N on July 28, 2008, 09:53:42 PM Awesome haul. I had a 5200 when I was a kid and I loved it. Biggest problem were the controllers. They'd get dirty real easy and I remember my dad always taking them apart and cleaning the connectors with alcohol. Pac-man was awesome on that system. By far my favorite game tho was Miner 2049.
