nice Gun-Nac you have there

Thanks,

Gun-Nac is an awesome game and it also has some sweet music in it.

Here is another controller that I like -

Its a modified Glock-type bb-gun with guts from a Nintendo Zapper.

They might be fantastic for all I know but I resist them with a childish prejudice.

And the Quick Shot FOR PROFESSION PLAYERS is also a favorite of mine but I don't like how the Start/Select buttons are reversed.

Can you even imagine a modern controller encouraging sharing a single unit instead of having to buy two like that?

I like the Beeshu Zipper. For the most part it's just a bigger NES pad, but with more rounded edges and the texture of the plastic is nicer; it's kind of rough and doesn't get all slippery. They look kind of cheapo but are really solid.





Don't have a dogbone pad but I've heard good things.

No love for the max? Has anyone used one?

Had one, pressed the sides more often than I used the thumb wheel properly. Advantage is best. I find stock Nintendo controllers are junk, the cube being the only exception, I can't grip them as intended.

NES Max: AB, turbo, and Start/select are amazing. However, the slider for the Dpad is abysmal, even for some games it was made for (I can sorta get it to work pretty well for gradius, but that's about it.
NES Advantage: Feels so legit and cool to use. Absolutely gigantic, though! Weighing in at about 46 pounds, you can be sure it's not going anywhere while using it.
R.O.B.: Obviously the go-to controller for all your most intense gaming needs.

I'm still looking for the dogbone and power glove, so I can't commentate on their performance

Advantage is my favorite controller all in all, but it's not really portable or convenient to store. The turbo buttons on the Max are pretty good, but having to keep pressure on the cycloid makes your hand hurt more than the standrard dpad ever would. The original controller is iconic, effective, but not the most convenient.
