During fierce battles with the Intellivision and the Colecovision, Atari decided to make a console that will replace the 2600. But ironically, the 5200 failed. Here's why:
1: The system was incompatible with 2600 games.
2: there was a whole shitload of Re- release titles.
3: they have a software library that failed to hit triple digits.
4: They created the most hated controller of all time.
The controller: Sure it has a pause button and a 360* joystick, but it didn't recenter properly and it was so fragile that it will break after just a few hours of play.

*Bonus!* did you know that you could plug in a sega genesis controller into a 2600 and it will work? As for the Atari 5200, there are third party controllers to replace the shitty ones that the system came with.

A High Pitched Battle Cry Used by the best fighters, or certain martial artists. Two Well Known fighters and manly badasses who use this shout are Bruce Lee, and Kenshiro, of the Anime, Fist Of the North Star.
It strengthens attacks, pwns enemies, and makes you look badass. if you repeat ATA, as ATATATATATA!!!! then you're probably throwing rapid barrages of punches at some poor motherfucker.
It also variates into "WATA!!!" "ATOU!" and various other similar shouting.

He struck the man with a fist to the face, shouting ATA in the process. needless to say the bitch was pwned. WATA!!!
