I played so much Missile Command and Super Break Out on that controller, I got one of the 2300 TV boxes and that just didn’t hit my nostalgia buttons because the self centering didn’t feel right to me. At some point I hope to get another 5200 and some games, my original one fell off a shelf and broke when my father threw a tantrum and slammed a door.
Atari 5200 because my parents found one at a garage sale with some games when I was 5 and it was my first console. ;)
The correct answer is one of the other ones.
5200 was the best console with the worst controller. :)

Didn’t the Jaguar have a gigantic controller with like 15-20 buttons?
It gets a bad rep but was actually quite comfortable.
Oh, yeah, it wasn’t the complication that made the 5200 conttoller bad, the stick was literally terrible and they broke ALL the time.
Think the current problem with stick drift only 100x worse.
I’m actually amazed there are still functional 5200 controllers out there.
The Jaguar controller was pretty standard by comparison.
