Top 10 Atari 5200 Games: Hidden Gems That Still Shine!
Episode 95 - I've been a fan of the Atari 5200 for some time now, owning almost the complete library, two (yes, two!) working controllers, and I've played every official release for the system. There are a ton of top ten videos out there for the system, but they really don't seem to nominate games that really make the system special. So that's what we are doing here. These are ten games that still make the 5200 worth owning in 2022. They may not be the ten best games, but all are worth owning and are some of the best the system offers.
