During fierce battles with the Intellivision and the Colecovision, Atari decided to make a console that will replace the 2600. But ironically, the 5200 failed. Here's why:
1: The system was incompatible with 2600 games.
2: there was a whole shitload of Re- release titles.
3: they have a software library that failed to hit triple digits.
4: They created the most hated controller of all time.
The controller: Sure it has a pause button and a 360* joystick, but it didn't recenter properly and it was so fragile that it will break after just a few hours of play.
*Bonus!* did you know that you could plug in a sega genesis controller into a 2600 and it will work? As for the Atari 5200, there are third party controllers to replace the shitty ones that the system came with.

The act of rubbing your feet on the carpet to build up a static charge, and touching the top bolt of the coin mechanism on the origial pong machine, this would sometimes trigger a free game. If there is no carpet you can use vinal jackets.
Me and my girl did the Atari Shuffle all night.
A games console created by Atari.
Known for it's simplistic use of graphics yet highly addictive gameplay at the time.
Such games include the likes of Pong, Centipede and Space Invaders.
Atari 2600 for $50 and 100 games, a bargain!!!

A phrase used as a substitute for "totally awesome".
Often used by people who are into video game style music.
It is widely believed that Mike Cook of Spheres of chaos and the gamewave podcast coined this phrase.
Although this phrase can and is often used to describe the awesomeness of atari music, it is not exclusive and can be used to describe anything from music to your best friends sisters new haircut.
"Have you heard the new GOTO80 EP? It's Proper Atari."
"Dude, your mom looks Proper Atari in that sweater, she's really slutting it up since your dad left, huh?"

"Atari Safari" is an addendum to the Palma Sutra, the ancient vedic discourse on self-pleasure. An Atari Safari is when you climb inside an arcade-size video game and replace the joystick with your own and hope that the next player gets the high score.
Roger thought he was just playing Burgertime, but he was really on an Atari Safari.
