About Atari 5200
The Atari 5200 (1982) was Atari's attempt to modernize the 2600 formula with better graphics and an analog joystick, but it launched just before the North American video game market crash of 1983 and never recovered commercially. Its short, crash-era lifespan means a comparatively small library, making the 5200 a niche but accessible corner of early-console collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Kangaroo for Atari 5200 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Kangaroo to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A5200 release dates back to 1982.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
