List of Atari 5200 games

The Atari 5200 is a home video game console released in October 1982.[1] Marketed as a successor to the Atari 2600, internally the console is almost identical to Atari's 8-bit computer architecture released 3 years earlier. The console was a commercial failure and was discontinued after less than 2 years on the market.[2] In total, 69[a] games were officially released for the Atari 5200. The vast majority of these titles were also released on other platforms, especially the Atari 2600 and Atari 8-bit computers. 55 of the games on this list have an equivalent release on the Atari 2600. The last game released by Atari for the system was Gremlins in 1986.[3] This list contains only commercially released games developed by non-hobbyists.
