Atari 5200 - Pros & Cons

simplicity makes it easy to figure out
you rapid fire which will come in handy
videos very entertaining and well put together
it actually plays better then the 7800 version

the game is very short lived
There is no real music in this game
The playing field is also a little plain being just one color
It might ramp up a little quickly
every bomb blows up and you lose an object
the 5200 controller for a cheap death
prices will no doubt skyrocket in online auctions
It would have required home delivery like a new dishwasher
does not help to be prominently displayed
is unplayable without an Analog stick and most hate it
Only Player One stick needs the Start Button to begin the game
quite hard to find the little cards on loose copies of 5200 games
The design of the joysticks was very unsuccessful

Classic Game Room - ATARI 5200 TRAK-BALL review - video Dailymotion

Classic Game Room reviews the ATARI 5200 TRAK-BALL controller for Atari 5200 which works with games like Centipede and Missile Command (also Defender, Space Invaders and a few others). This old school piece of videogame hardware is a tank with a track ball in the center and buttons on the side. Plugs into Atari 5200 video game controller ports and works well with Centipede and Missile Command.
