Atari 5200
After the success of the Atari 2600, Atari released the 5200 five years later. The 5200 was not as successful as its predecessor. The controller included with the 5200 is notable for including an analog stick but has since gained notoriety for poor build quality, performance, and ergonomics. The controller features a full number pad, analog stick, start button, pause button, reset button, and four total action buttons split between the controller’s two sides.
