I just got a atari 5200 4-port CIB for $30 on craigslist, but what are some good games that use the atari 5200 controller well?

Pac man and ms.pac man make really good use of the controller.Actually all games do,it's a really good controller,but you have to be careful with it.

Opinions vary, but I think there might be a general consensus that the stock 5200 controllers work best with games that use their analog nature, such as Missile Command, Centipede, and Star Raiders. I also find that using two of them connected with the coupler that came with Space Dungeon and Robotron works well for those games.
