I vaguely remember getting third party shit when I was younger from friends at birthday parties.

I miss my old "Purple Bastard". Had great build-quality and features the Dual Shock didn't.

I feel like this would actually be a decent controller.

The person you're replying to isn't me but I play with them. What do you do with your video games?
>>
>>3160608
Video games aren't exclusively made for children.
Do you really sit there and tap them around making dinosaur noises?

Yup. I'm doing it right now. Does that trigger you?

says the wealthy business man who probably has a $800 piece of fabric with ink over it, that is no more decorative than another like it that costs $100, only because of your perceived image, similar to how in adolescence we wanted to act and look in a certain way to be popular in school.

I got this to play Phantasy Star Online Episode 3.
This thing was fucking worthless to actually play with, it was only useful as a keyboard.

So this is an actual controller and not a photoshop? Woah...

Oh, I had one of those! It took me a while to realize it would map the d-pad to the analogue, though. I used to play FF7 with it.

ungrateful little kid.

>>3160457
My friend has one of these. What a magnificent piece of shit. The buttons felt awful, the stick was terrible, and the R and L buttons found a new way to be even worse than the regular ones.
>>
>>3161364
Oh god, playing any game that required the middle stick must have almost been impossible.
>>
>>3161394
It wasn't actually that bad, just not as springy as the genuine one. But there were sometimes arguments who's turn it is to have the proper pad.
>>
>>3161392
>get something you can barely even use
u-ungrateful piece of shit right
>>
>>3160457
I got one of these as a kid when I went to visit my dad for a weekend and brought the N64, he wanted to be able to play it with me. I wound up making my friend use it every time he came over to play, he must've hated me for it at the time.

Fuck off, oldfag. I was 7 for most of 2001 so 6th gen comprised most of my late childhood/tween years. I was still exposed to older games thanks to my parents and friends, and in 2000 I distinctly remember having an NES, SNES, N64, and even my own PC running Win98.

I know my experience isn't the same as people here who actually remember growing up in the 1990s, but even still, I have an appreciation for older games and that's what this board's about.

Anyway, all the controllers I remember using on pre 6th-gen systems were first party stuff, and it wasn't until around the early-mid 2000s that I really started to own any third party controllers, all of which were for at the time current gen systems. Most of them weren't bad, but I had an awful wireless Gamecube pad that really liked to decalibrate itself, and a wireless PS2 pad that had occasional connection issues.

Polite sage since most of this is off topic. I apologize for not having anything better to contribute.

Those controllers were good with the AKI wrestling games.

Not retro but the only third party controller I ever liked and still use today is the Pelican Snes Gamecube controller. It's a rip off of the Hori pad
but still works and feels great for fighting games
I think I bought it for Cvs2 at the time.

Says the guy posting on a board Predominantly filled collectors.
A lot of people who collect videos games from their childhood also collect toys from their childhood as well.
>>
>>3161373
I actually had that one and it wasn't TOO horrible, but not as good as the real thing still.
>>
the n64 controller is already pretty garbage to begin with
>>
>>3160457
No. I bought all my own stuff. You're lucky they got you anything at all you little shit.

Any godlike controllers? I kinda want this one
