Atari 5200 experts what did I just win.

I won this lot and paid for it on Ebay, I am happy but what are those unknown pair of sticks under the atari brand ones? they are clearly 5200 but I don't know which brand. I will share more when I get the package. I emailed the seller and he said they only said joystick on them and nothing else. Could they be Triga Elites?

The word Spectravision comes to mind, but I'm not sure. I know there were several 3rd party joysticks for the 5200. Most of them came with a Y adapter so you used the keypad from the original 5200 controller and then used the stick/button from the 3rd party one.

Congratulations! The two sticks on the bottom, the pair with the 2 big red buttons, are Competition Pro Joysticks. They have arcade microswitch guts and are the top of the line joystick for any 5200 game that is suited for 8-way digital control. Best joysticks you can get for the 5200 hands down, and fairly valuable (and durable).

edit* I just realized you weren't asking about those sticks, but oh well, I'll leave this up anyway.

You outbid me on that lot.

I am pretty sure that those controllers are not for the 5200. If I thought that they were for the 5200 I would have bid quite a bit more. It is still a good lot for the money (assuming the Competition Pro's work).

Qix is sweet!! I would pick up a 5200 just to relive those days!! One of the first truly addictive games for me. I remember the whole family getting into it!! Seriously, my mom would steal the controller from me all the time... And it was the only video game my dad ever played... Good lot.

That's what I was thinking also, atleast for the 5200, could be wrong though. The 2 comp pro sticks and the Star Wars in box is worth the auction price IMO. Star wars C.I.B goes for 30-40 on it's own.

I was also learking that auction :P

I have at least one of the sticks in question and I have no reason to believe that it's a 5200 stick. The most elusive stick is that one with the huge base that also has a 2600 2 button equivalent. It's the GIM Fire Command. Anyone got one of those or seen one?

Not including the Triga Elite that isn't confirmed per DP ed.7.
