My Atari 5200 Collection - with Rare Games & Rare Controllers

My Atari 5200 collection, with rare games and controllers, including Frogger II, Meteorites, a Wico joystick and keypad, a trackball, and more. The 5200 was the follow-up to the beloved 2600. This is a follow-up to my top 5 games for the console that I still play, which you can watch here:

Do you also own the four port 5200 Brett?

Space Dungeon is amazing! I love the 5200 and have my Dad's in my collection. It was that weird system under a bed in the original box I pulled out as a kid when I grew tired of the NES. Fond memories of playing Ms. Pacman with Grandma. I have to admit though that the ColecoVision has won me over in recent years with its strong community and continued game support. Nothing beats the 5200 trackball though! Always happy to see it get some love on youtube. I have so many controller options now!

Great to see the 5200 getting some love. What a great collection! I, for one, am hoping Atari releases a modern system capable of playing the 5200 games, like they've done with the 2600 and 7800.

Great collection! My dream is a collection like this, but i live in Brazil, and is hard to found retro itens here, so i have to import from sites like ebay and pay in dolar... resuming, is too expensive! But videos like these give me hopes to realize my dream hehhe. Good luck, guy!

Love the 5200. You have so much awesome stuff dude. Very impressed. Its too bad people have such a negative view of this console. They dont know what they are missing. Great games and that analogue is fantastic with good controllers.

No overlays? I need that Meteorites. I have a box and manual with no cartridge.

When I was 8 or 9 my brother gave me his 5200 with several games. It was a unique system. My favorite was River Raid. I also enjoyed Dig Dug & Pac Man. But we always wanted the next best thing, so I finally got my mother to buy me the 7800 one day after school at Toys R Us. It's a shame I lost track of those systems when my dad sold the house. Somehow, I managed to hang on to the very first 2600 I got for Christmas in 1981. It still works. I noticed you had Tutankhamen. That was a pretty cool game. Thanks for the memories.

The SG-1000 has a better software library, including a better version of Space Invaders, and a better version of Galaga.

Great collection and retro gaming setup! With companies like Retro-Bit making, for example, new Sega Genesis controllers, it would be great if some company would make new 5200 controllers. Make them digital, instead of analog, like the Wico joystick that you showed. I would love to see that. I love The Dreadnaught Factor! I honestly think that it’s the most underrated game that Activision made. If there’s ever another collection of Activision games released, I would love to see it on there.
