Monthly Archives: June 2025

Turns out with all the tariff nonsense, I overbought parts for the Atari 5200! I have no less than 32 joysticks on hand. My closet is a little full, from now, June 1st, 2025 to July 4th, I will be having a sale on almost all of my 5200 controllers. The only exception is the Jaguar to 5200 conversion, sadly, I just sold my last conversion and will be replacing it with the LT.

The IntelliVision II True 16 has sold even better than I expected and I really only have 1 joystick left until my next batch arrives. If you have a little patience, you can score a 5200 controller with a nice discount.

Happy Summer!

In case anyone missed it, I released the IntelliVision II True 16 Arcade controller.

I will also be releasing 2 other variations:

1. Handed joystick (left hand stick by default).
2. IntelliVision 2609A themed, with wood grain and gold accents. This will also be released in a handed version as well.

For the IntelliVision II, a side type will be Sears Super Video Arcade themed. It is mechanically identical, just with brown and wood accents. I am busy building as quickly as possible, since this is a new controller, I am really testing out each joystick to make sure it really works as advertised.

In addition, I am expecting a 2609A in a few days to facilitate controllers for that system and see if I can get the test software to work correctly. My IntelliVision II does not seem to be 100 compatible with every game and from forums this appears to be the case. Luckily, PGA Golf and Ice Trek really are good test games that work.
