By no means should this purchase make you think I have improved my current financial position or found employment! I am just an idiot who cannot resist temptation with a credit card DOH!
That's right folks I am going for it, getting an ATARI 5200! Despite the opinion of this being a BAD system by many with craptacular controllers I must see for myself!
I am waiting to receive a very nice 5200 package from eightbit on ATARI AGE, see the full description and details including beautiful pictures HERE:

DETAILS: This is my last 5200 console, as well as my nicest one ;) The system still has the plastic over the metal bezel. The Trakball still has the plastic over it's bezel as well. Here's what you get for $125 SHIPPED:
Four port system "asterisk model" - This system is a special model that was "fixed" by Atari just before the two port models came out. Unlike most 4-port systems, this model CAN use the VCS adapter. This is the most compatible model to own (plays every 5200 game in the collection) and can use the VCS adapter as well. Set comes with VCS adapter, Trak-Ball Controller, BRAND NEW official power supply (just purchased from B&C Computervisions), automatic switchbox, and the games listed below. NO CONTROLLER INCLUDED. The system is in excellent condition and works great!
GAMES: Berzerk (with manual) Choplifter!Frogger (CIB)James Bond 007
Mountain King (1 overlay & manual) Popeye Q*Bert Qix (2 overlays & manual)
Realsports Soccer (2 overlays & manual) Realsports Tennis (2 overlays & manual) River Raid (1 overlay & manual) Soccer (alternate "Realsports Soccer" label) Space Dungeon Space Shuttle Star Raiders (2 overlays & manual) Star Trek Star Wars - The Arcade Game Vanguard (with manual)Wizard of Wor Also some extra manuals and overlays in there just to clear it out ;)
LOOK FORWARD TO A FUTURE VIDEO SHOWING ALL THE ATARI 5200 DETAILS AND GLORY LOL!
