The Electronic Games Magazine 1983 buyers guide! This issue is in Very-Fine (8.0) to Very-Fine +(8.5) condition. Some very light wear on the back cover keeps this gem from grading higher.
If you can get your hands on one or find a down-loadable issue this is a blast to read! It has complete reviews of all the games and systems of the day with great photos to boot! This issue is probably my favorite of all the issues of EG that I have read through! The cover is awesome as well!
The 1983 buyers guide seems to be one of the tougher issues to find in the Electronic Games Magazine print-run. From my experience, outside of the first issue I would say the 1983 buyers guide, the 1983 Software Encyclopedia and the 1984 Software Encyclopedia are tied for rarity followed by issue #2. After that most issues don't seem all that tough to find. The exception to that may be the issues of Computer Entertainment Magazine. Technically, those are the issues of Electronic Games Magazine after the name was changed. Four issues of Computer Entertainment Magazine were printed and are a bit tougher to find than the standard issue of EG.

Electronic Games Magazine, 1983 Software Encyclopedia issue #1. This issue is in a solid Fine/Very Fine (7.0) condition.
This issue seems to be one of the tougher ones to find. I’m not sure why since it was printed during the prime years of the publication. However, I believe it was a stand alone issue and not part of the regular print run. I know you could send away for this issue via a coupon in earlier issues from 1983, but I’m not sure if it made it to newsstands. If anyone has info on how this issue was released feel free and add a comment. Either way it seems to have a smaller print run than other issues from the same time period. That would likely be the main reason for the increased demand. It also has tons of great articles on games and systems of the day. If you get your hands on one it is definitely worth the time to read through!

From my personal collection. This is the 22nd issue of Electronic Games Magazine. It is in like-new Near-Mint (9.4) condition.
I always liked the covers where they would pile up all the games and systems for one awesome photo.

From My personal collection. Electronic Games Magazine #18, August 1983. This issue is in Fine + (6.5) condition. There is a price sticker on the cover that reads $2.80 and Non-Food... No guessing that this was bought at a grocery store, but I wonder which one.
This issue features Miner 2049er.

After their apparent disastrous failure with the Atari 2600, Atari bounced back and produced the Atari 5200, which, as the name implies, was twice as good as the 2600. 5200 carts were the largest Atari carts, with the height of a 2600 cartridge, but the width of a SNES cartridge. Typical 5200 carts were silver labels, with an image on the label and blue Atari branding. Unlike the multiple rebrands of Atari 2600 cartridges, the 5200 did not survive long enough to change this basic design.
I got this Atari 5200 for about $10 at the Grandview Flea Market in NH. It has 2 controllers, the TV adapter, power supply and Pacman. Everything works too. The power supply is a bit creepy however. I think it's just the design of it. No box unfortunately.
What do you get when you take the Atari joystick, make it analog, add in the Star Raiders keypad and put some mushy side buttons (two on each side) taken off the Intellivision, then mix it all together and put a shiny Atari Rainbow across the middle?
A big mess.
I will give them credit for putting the start and reset buttons on the controller and extra credit for including a “Pause” button. But it’s still a mess.
