Atari 5200 system with controller, game cartridges and packaging

The Atari 5200 SuperSystem, commonly known as the Atari 5200, is a video game console that was introduced in 1982 by Atari Inc. as a higher end complementary console for the popular Atari 2600.

The 5200 was based on Atari Inc .' s existing 400 / 800 computers and the internal hardware was almost identical, although software was not directly compatible between the two systems.

In its prototype stage, the Atari 5200 was originally called the " Atari Video System X-Advanced Video Computer System ", and was codenamed " Pam " after a female employee at Atari Inc.

Actual working Atari Video System X machines, whose hardware is 100 % identical to the Atari 5200 do exist, but are extremely rare.

The 1983 revision of the Atari 5200 has two controller ports instead of four, and a change back to the more conventional separate power supply and standard non-autoswitching RF switch.

The Atari 5200 controllerThe controller prototypes used in the electrical development lab used a yoke and gimbal mechanism that came from an RC airplane controller kit.

The Atari 5200 did not fare well commercially, compared to its predecessor, the Atari 2600.

At one point following the 5200's release, Atari had planned a smaller, cost-reduced version of the Atari 5200, which would have removed the controller storage bin.

On May 21, 1984, during a press conference at which the Atari 7800 was introduced, company executives revealed that the 5200 had been discontinued after just two years on the market.

It was originally written for the Atari 400 / 800, and was later ported to the Commodore 64, the Nintendo Entertainment System and the IBM PC Jr. Japanese versions also exist for the PC-8801, the Sharp X1, and MSX 2 computers.
