Redemption 5200 Controller Adapter

AdminII — Sun, 27 Jul 2003 00:14:44 +0000

As any fans of the Atari 5200 are acutely aware, the standard controllers that Atari shipped with the 5200 are lacking in several areas. The largest problem is that they are prone to failure and it’s difficult to find 5200 controllers that are 100% functioning. The second problem is that even when you find yourself in the company of working 5200 controllers, they are not the greatest controllers to actually use when you want to enjoy games. The analog joystick is non-centering, making it difficult to maintain accurate control in many games, and the fire buttons are uncomfortable and awkward to use. [ continue ]
