5200 pulled from 2008 UC display

Sunday, March 16th, 2008
I finally got around to testing the Atari 5200 system today, and much to my disappointment it is having some problems. The main thing is that I only have one working joystick at this point in time. I had four about two years ago, but three of them don't work now, and I do not know why. It is not from use, as they have been boxed up. The 5200 roller-ball controller is having a few issues itself. Thus, with little time to attempt any type of fix, the Atari 5200 is officially pulled from the 2008 UC area. I'm debating what to put in its place, possible the Apple IIgs again, the Bally, or maybe just leave it at four systems instead of five. I'll figure something out within the week.
