It is obvious why Atari did not want to go through with the 3200 and had to throw the 5200 together quickly. Some answers I could never get are what are the graphics, sound, and other capabilities of this 3200. Maybe the 5200 was a better ideal in the first place, having the graphics and sound abilities of the 8-bit. They should have just stuck with the 2600/8-bit joystick ports instead of those weird analog things.

Heh, I've actually been lured into way old threads and started to or have replied before. I think what happens is people open a thread that interests them and then as they are reading through it, the "Similar Topics" list contains a thread title that catches their eye even more so they pull it up and get involved with a sometimes year old discussion!! LOL

Apparently, the 3200 was canned due to it being rather difficult to program.

(no offense, just kidding)
But, really, a "deluxe version" would be cool. I'm sure someone out there is talented enough to pull off the project. I know i'm not.
