In my view they should be taken off the Market. It completly spoils the fun and competivness of a game. I have a friend who always uses a turbo controller for games like Track and Field and he always wins, and then he thinks he is the best at the game. When he is not, the controller is doing all the work for him, all he is doing is holding down buttons. Also cheat codes on Action Replay ruin games, like always Special on Wrestlemania 2000. With Turbo and cheat cartridges you always know you are going to win, so what is the point in them. I dont mind the cheat cartridges if they are used just for passing a level that you cant pass, but if you use them all the time there is no point at all in playing the games becuase you are cheating. My friende and i usually have Track and Field tornaments and we never win because my friend cheats all the time and the rest of us are all getting fed up with him. I think that Cheat controllers and Cheat controllers should be completly taken off the market and the money should be used in making more games. Is anyone else in my posistion?. Does anyone use Turbo oftinley, because if you do there is only one word in my view to describe you, Cheater. It is much more fun to play games using your ow ability in playing them and not using a turbo controller, it is much more fun to use the controllers that do not have Turbo Fire.

sometimes controllers like that are good, I was playing Micro machines the other day on my mates megadrive, (4player) and because it was turbo I could speed off and leave those little scamps to eat my dust! ha ha ha ha, but otherwise if somone uses it against me then it is a definate no no.
Loz, I agree. I play games because of the competitive spirit that crawls just below my calm exterior. I don't want to cheat, I want to achieve something and be rewarded by a new level, FMV sequence, moving the story onwards etc. I must admit that the only game that I had trouble with was RE and RE2, but then using a walkthrough to see the finely crafted FMV sequences only detracted from the enjoyability of future gameplay slightly, because both were still very playable games, even after the endings were discovered, because of the infinite variety of ways you could complete the game.
Like you, I don't see the mass market appeal of cheat cartridges/turbo/slowmo etc., but a market is there. Why not just make this player use a normal controller when you play against them, though, to even things out?
