Atari 5200 games

The Atari 5200 SuperSystem arrived in 1982 as a more powerful follow-up to the 2600, built on Atari's 8-bit computer hardware. It brought sharper arcade ports and an ambitious analog joystick with a built-in keypad and the first pause button on a home console.

The 5200 library is small and arcade-focused, so it suits players who enjoy classic coin-op ports. The original non-centering joysticks are famously fragile, which is why many collectors use refurbished or modern replacement controllers.

Matrix Picks tracks 70 5200 games, 50 of which support two or more players.
