Ben Heck’s Atari 5200: Making a better controller

Felix is revisiting his retro gaming console, the Atari 5200. Unfortunately, after sitting in a barn for years it’s missing its controllers and has gone rusty.

Would you design it differently? What retro consoles do you have lying around? Let the team know on the element14 Community.
