Atari 5200

The 5200’s internal hardware is almost identical to that of Atari’s 8-bit computers, although software is not directly compatible between the two systems. The 5200’s controllers have an analog joystick and a numeric keypad along with start, pause and reset buttons. The 360-degree non-centering joystick was touted as offering more control than the eight-way joystick controller offered with the Atari 2600.
