Mind you this is the 2 port version of the 5200 so Pitfall is out of the question. Any other games that are incompatible? Thanks in advance guys (and gals), keep on gaming.

As implied by the title I'm a proud owner of my very first Atari 5200 system. It came with CIB Defender, Dig Dug, and Missile Command. Of course I always use the VGC reviews to decide which games are worth my time and money, I'd like to hear what some of you think are noteworthy titles for the 5200.

The Critic is right - 5200 Baseball is the best baseball game of the 1980's...

Qix
Gremlins
Berzerk
These are three awesome classics...Berzerk is simply superb.

For me, nothing else can match Centipede for the 5200. The more aggressive spider transforms the game into a wild Darwinian dance.

Cool!, you got a 5200 you should really dig it... as long as your controllers don't give you grief.
Here's a few other games which I like on 5200,
Pole Position
Moon Patrol
River Raid
Millipede
Space Invaders
Ms. Pac-man
Each of these bring something pretty different from the other Atari consoles...
I like all these port versions best I think

BERZERK is definitely one to get. The 2600 version is good, but the 5200 version is the best ever made for a home console. I haven't tried the Vectrex version, but the 5200 version actually helped me last longer in the arcade version.
