Atari 5200 Catalog - Atari (CO18270 Rev. 1)Company: Atari Part Number: CO18270 Rev. 1 Year: 1982 Titles: 14
This appears to be Atari's first catalog for the 5200. It's a booklet style
catalog, following in the tradition of Atari's 2600 catalogs. It features 14
titles and the line, "The Advanced Game System" on the cover. This
catalog prominently featured Asteroids,
which was never actually released on the 5200 most likely due to it being extremely
difficult to control with the 5200's non-centering analog controllers. Not only
did Asteroids get its own page in this catalog, but there is also an Asteroids
box pictured on page
4 (second from the top). This catalog also features the Trak-Ball controller
(with the red action buttons and "Start", "Pause", "Reset"
buttons in positions that don't match the shipped unit) and mentions a game
called Tank on page
