Description: The Atari 5200, a gaming system released by Atari in 1982. The 5200 was Atari's follow-up to the very successful 2600. A larger and more powerful console, it was based on the Atari 8-bit 400/800 computer line. It did not fare well in the market, however, due to Atari's and the gaming market's collapse in 1983. Of note is that this system is an original 4-port version. The system would later be released with only two controller ports. This picture also shows the console's rear controller flap open and with two controller stored inside. The 5200 was huge compared to most gaming systems, and part of that bulk was to hold the controllers inside the unit while not in use.
