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 Shuffle mug.Amaris likes to experiment and shake things up and she might do so in changing up her hair or learning a new skill. She can sometimes come off as easy-going but usually she has a set goal and when she puts her mind to something there's no stopping her-once started she must finish it! She gets good grades and is not genius level smart but is still pretty smart, and she knows it. Still she doesn't go around bragging. Amaris is beautiful and making her happy makes you happy. A lot of people take Amaris for granted because she's a reliable friend and will never stab you in the back. Ever. So if you have an Amaris in your life, make sure she knows how much you really appreciate her.
