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.

Get the Atari 5200 mug.
A girl who has both beauty and brains. She is very intelligent, incredibly attractive, and the "perfect girlfriend." She is funny, creative, a little nerdy, and extremely talented.
That girl over there has all of the qualities an Atara should have.

'Peace at home, peace in the world!', 'Independence and liberty define my character' are the two well known sayings of Ataturk.
