Without analogs? Was it custom made… just kidding

Also worked for the Commodore 64 and Vic20.

Not counting dedicated Pong-type machines, this magnificent bastard. Still one of the best for precise twitch gaming with the short throw of the stick, and the paddles seemed slightly less prone to jitter.

N64, and no I’m still not sure how to hold it, I always end up walking funny.

Lol I love this.

TopRamenBinLaden,

There is no wrong way to hold an N64 controller. Any way you hold it, it is equally uncomfortable.

You may already know this now, but I want to post it for those who don’t because it’s really cool and way ahead of its time.

That was for the VMU, the visual memory card. It stored your game saves but also some games had minigames you could play directly on it, often with bonuses in the main game. In the Sonic Adventure games you could take care of chao and such on it. That thing ate batteries like candy though.

C64 joystick was the first (playing Professional Ski Simulator…) but the Mega Drive controller was the one I used everyday.

Atari 2600 controller. Joystick & button.

My parents bought us a Nintendo 64 for Christmas when it came out.

Never played any games or consoles that came in between those two. It was wild.
