All this mumbling that's been going on about "my controller's better than your controller" recently reminded me....

Have any of you lot played a SNES or Mega Drive recently? Try it, and you'll really see how much controller design has come on in the last 10 years. My god, it's no wonder I used to get calluses.

Even though they have no curved edges, they are strangely comfortable.

Good call, Starlight.

Yeah but there are too many buttons on the new pads and it is now harder and longer to figure out. The are easier to hold and use but the buttons are allways awackward to reach.

Hmmmmm Snes pads..

I mean ACK snes pads!

At least megadrive pads (well some) where curved to suit your hand, snes ones where flat with rounded edges.. I must say though that any pad recently tends to hurt you hands if you use them long enough..

Megadrive? SNES? They're not bad. If you want a crap controller, go hold the N64 one.
