Video Description

This video was almost completely done back in April of 2025, so I figured why not release it and see what happens. The fact is, the 5200 is one of the lesser known and underappreciated Atari consoles. So in this video I want to look at the reasons why it was disliked in its time, ignored by the retro gaming community, and why it seems to even be ignored by the Atari of today. You know, the company that is banking on your nostalgia to finance its future! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. And no, I don't hate the 5200. I rather enjoy it. For what it is anyway... Also please consider joining the discord server! Its free and we talk all about Atari there. https://discord.gg/vjcaNE8uCx If you are interested in advertising or partnering, or even just talk you can email me at [email protected] You can also follow me on Twitter (X), Instagram or Facebook by searching for the Atari Network or 7800progamer! Thanks for watching and please subscribe. It does way more than you'll ever know for me. #atari #atari5200 #retrogaming #rememberthe80s #videogames #supersystem
