Just spent a fun couple of hours watching your work! Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into compiling these retro game lists; I've not only thoroughly enjoyed what I've seen, but also learned more about some classic titles. Thank you for the education! :)
Hell yeah! Good to see you back. Stoked for this list because I never owned this system. Just had a 2600 and a colecovision.
How do you not have Montezuma's Revenge on this list? Or Dig Dug? Or Missile Command? Super Breakout? Megamania? Joust? Zaxxon? Q Bert? Jungle Hunt? Way too many notable omissions.
Pretty sure that Donkey Kong was a homebrew. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it was ever officially released for the 5200.
Any top 5200 best of list without "Space Dungeon" on it doesnt pass muster and is likely a fraud.
I remember beating pitfall II when I was home sick from school. It was awesome
I just bought ten Atari 5200 cartridges from a retro game store today, a birthday present to myself. I don't actually own the system, but I might at some point, and it's just fun to have these on my shelf in any case. The software library for this machine is very strong, despite the fact that most of them are identical to their Atari 8-bit cousins. But there are enough games that take advantage of the analog joystick or trackball to make it worth your while.
Gremlins and Vanguard look amazing! Two games I had never seen before.
Loved pole position on my Atari 130xe . I still play it weekly

Great list my friend ๐๐ฎ๐น๏ธ๐พ๐
That was awesome
Best games for 5200 are Space Dungeon, Robotron, Defender. Honorable mentions for Dreadnaught Factor and Miner 2049er. I suspect the gamer who made this list isnโt deeply familiar with the 5200 library. As others pointed out, DK wasnโt even released for the 5200.
Gremlins - I liked this game, but I lost more lives to the time limit than to the gremlins. Vanguard - This one looks a lot nicer than the Atari 2600 version, but the control doesn't seem as precise. No, I'm not talking about the stick, but rather the fire buttons. The buttons on my controllers work perfectly in other games, but when I played this game, it didn't always shoot when I wanted it to. Often, I'd press the button while moving the stick, no shot comes out and I crash into the enemy I was trying to shoot. Or maybe it IS related to the stick. Maybe it wasn't registering the direction strongly enough for it to shoot in that direction. I never had that problem with the 2600 version.
