atari doesn't think. its home console/computer division was staffed with the most incompetent of fucktards that were cutting costs on everything while raping people's wallets.

That thing is by far the best, cleanest RF adapter I've ever used. If you don't like it, buy an XT

It's awkward, but not nearly as bad as AVGN made it out to be. 5200 is actually pretty underrated. All it needs are some decent controllers...

Yeah that's the thing about the 5200 the games were a pretty nice improvement over the 2600 but you never hear criticism directed towards its library always everything else.

The legendarily garbage controllers nullify any attempt to tap into the 5200's library, making said library almost unplayable outside of emulation, or through looking up the Atari 8-bit computer equivalents.

5200 port of Moon Patrol is worth at least giving it a shot. I love it even with the goofy controllers, but mine still actually work so there's that.

The finished prototype of Tempest is also rad af.

as a proud XEGS owner, i cant tell you that you are full of shit. 5200 games are pretty good for their time.

Because you know I'm right. Even if you're a turbo autist fanboi with an XEGS.

I'd be amazed if you've even been alive for 18 years, especially considering you didn't even know what the 5200 was until that idiotic eceleb video.
