Classic Game Room – ATARI 5200 TRAK-BALL review

Classic Game Room reviews the ATARI 5200 TRAK-BALL controller for Atari 5200 which works with games like Centipede and Missile Command (also Defender, Space Invaders and a few others). This old school piece of videogame hardware is a tank with a track ball in the center and buttons on the side. Plugs into Atari 5200 video game controller ports and works well with Centipede and Missile Command.

  1. @ZombieGadget That’s his effect on everybody. It’s his job. He puts videos up and eBay sales go up.

  2. “It’s roughly the size of Rhode Island combined with Germany” That cracked me up!
    30 seconds into the review, counting the intro. Fuck IGN.

  3. Everything about the 5200 is so godzilla!

  4. Were there many/any exclusive 5200 games? Seems like everything I’ve seen on it are arcade ports or upgraded versions of 2600 games.

  5. The AVGN brought me here.

  6. I hate the 5200.

  7. My dad loved the 5200 so stop hating it

  8. the size of rode island….and germany

  9. omg every time mark talks about an old game console i immediatley go on ebay to see how much one costs!

  10. eu so muito fã do atari 5200

    i remember playing the Centepeed game but i dont remember where and in what system it sure was not the 5200 but i cant remmember i was like 3-4 when i played it….

  13. WHAT A BEAST!

  14. I don’t think he said big or giant enough.

  15. i would love to see Mark review women lol

  16. Son of a Bitch, He’s not reviewing enough CLASSIC GAMES!
    GAH WE NEED AN ATARI AND A GENESIS Every ONCE A WEEK
    !

  17. @Croxyndul, The system itself was overpriced and unreliable, but overall it was a good game console. The telephone controllers are rhinoceros shit though.

  18. marioplayaaaaahhhh

    5:44 You mean the Dave from the original CGR seies?

  19. I loved Vanguard with the original 5200 joystick, found it extremely playable. I’m not sure why everyone is a cry baby about it. Worked very well with Pole Position too. The 5200 gets a lot of unfair negative press. You know what controllers were real garbage, the original 2600 ones. I went through a bazillion of them and nobody ever seems to point that out. Pure junk.

  20. Why are you called classic game room when you also review modern Games and consoles

  21. Dave’s Trak-ball controller… as in Dave Crosson ?

  22. wat century wuz dat thing made in

  23. @ZombieGadget the next billy mays?

  24. communistrecords

    They misspelled track. They spelt it “TRAK” because poor literacy KeWL.

  25. @ZombieGadget Mark gives me strange urges to sell my body to him.

  26. I’m a huge fan of michael, but I must agree, when I watch the DVD , i ALWAYS skip earth song, It’s not stupid, it has a very powerful message, but it is boring :l

  27. @YouSuck4RL Go fuck yourself, douche bag!!
