Angry Nintendo Nerd: Atari 5200 review

[davidmt]

Think this is a new one, pretty funny stuff:

Yeah, saw that last week (along with his review of the TMNT 3 movie).

Funny how you can relate to it though, like plugging in a Sega pad into a 2600 or trying to hook a RF cable to the back of the TV

There's no way I'm doing that age verification crap to watch THE NERD. Oh, so he's "exclusive" to Gametrailers now (which is owned by MTV of all things)? What a bunch of buffalo diarrhea vomit sh**!

What I find interesting is the actual creator of the 5200 track ball was interviewed by Shane. I wonder what he'd say after watching that video...

I've never watched his videos before, but I thought it was pretty funny, although I do like the 5200 a lot and I don't think the system or its controllers deserve the bashing they get. It's home to a lot of great games, the controllers do work very well for many games (and are much more comfortable than, say the CV controllers), and it did a lot of innovative things for its time. The lack of end labels on the carts bugs me more than the controller or the size of the unit. Still, I got a couple good laughs.
