the 5200 is of course not well known in Europe
as it is a USA NTSC only console
but still interesting, with a lot of unreleased prototypes
that are playable to the USB multicart of Atarimax
like Blaster

yes it is a very heavy monster and also undiscovered by me. got mine several years ago but still didn´t play with it :-( too many other consoles in my collection that also need to be discovered. could you list a couple of games that a worth playing (and to be collected) for this system?

I got a 5200 almost 10 years ago I think. Not sure if I ever tried it, but I am afraid that I will break those weird analog controllers once I use them 
It's nice to collect for that system in my opinion, because you can get many games easily. The last ones are hard to find and expensive tho.
I am missing around 15 games and a few boxes/manuals.
No game recommendations from me, as I didn't play it yet.

yes those joysticks break easily
I use a pass-by cable
that allows to use a 5200 joystick for the keypad and a 2600 joystick for the control
recommended released games for the 5200:
Dreadnaught Factor (activision)
Zone Ranger (activision)
Robotron 2084 played with 2 joysticks (one for the shoot, one for moving)
unreleased games:
Blaster
Super pac man

Does this affect gameplay, using a digital joystick instead of an analong one? I could imagine that this could cause "problems" with some games?

but for most of them, no problem
