Atari Accessories

Atari’s hardware was only half the story—its accessories carried early gaming forward. The 2600 era popularized joysticks, paddles, power adapters, and the Starpath Supercharger, an ambitious add-on that expanded cartridge capabilities. The 5200 introduced analog controllers and memory options, while the 7800 brought refined gamepads and compatibility solutions. From RF switches and AV cables to replacement parts and control upgrades, Atari accessories remain a vital link to the company’s pioneering cartridge generations and a centerpiece of early retro-tech collecting.
