I have problems with the playstation pad.
Whats all of this circle, square, triangle, cross stuff about then?
I have to look down when I get told to press "up and triangle".
Could they not have called them north east south west or something.
I'd have to actually remember which button was which, and I'm sure that could take up to a whole hour of playing before you get used to it!
(Have you ever noticed that on Nintendo pads they have an A button, and a B button, but the B button is always on the left of the A button - what sense does that make?)

The N64 pad also has four C buttons, useful.
Oh and remember the NES pads? Now those pads can take a beating, not that I would know, stupid Excitebike!
Oh and the Dreamcast pads, why on earth does the cable come from the bottom of the pad and not the top like usual? I have neraly pulled my Dreamcast from my desk because of this once or twice.

My brother had a third party controller, with the 2 sticks.
He made them fall off when playing Tony Hawk's 2.

Yep.
But the plus side is that the Sony controller stands up to repeated smashings on the floor, the dog, the forehead, whilst the Nintendo one breaks after one completed go of Lylat Wars.
Rubbish

Haven't we all. Its because with

So why not change their names? Have the A on the left and the B on the right.
In alphabetical order.
Ninties might learn from it. :-)

I don't think I'll get much opportunity to learn, given I don't own a Playstation, but sometimes by brother will show me one of his new games and say "Play that." So it will probably take over a month to rack up total play-time of a hour, and I'll have to get used to where triangle is (on the left?) every time.

He is certainly right. One must play constantly on a PSX to be able to squeeze out what is necessary to relise the cpontrols onto which you deploy through competative gaming.
DId that meake sense?
