Whatever happened to a joystick and a fire button. Those were the days. I have so much problems with these new controllers. So many buttons, triggers and thumb joystick. I think my coordination ended with Nitendo 64. :lol: I guess I am just too spastic.
I miss joysticks too, the most easiest way of gaming. The last system with simple controls is the SNES. The newer systems controls are too confusing for my little hands and all of those buttons. That's just too many.

Ah, for those simpler days where the person who got the microswitched joystick always won those stick waggling olympic games.
Games like Decathlon on the Atari always gave me a blister on the palm of my hand from waggling too much and too hard, at least that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it.
The Atari joystick was solid though. You could brain a burglar with it, throw it off a multistorey carpark and still it would be good for a game of Zaxxon afterwards.
i would get blisters rom Mario Party on N64
This isn't a surrender, this is what in the military we call a total a$$ kicking

don't be pussies. Dual joysticks are the way to go!
i didn't have much trouble at all adapting to it.
i play fps on computer and controllers, better at controllers

i really wanted to try that game! but i don't want to spend as much on a controller as the xbox is worht it self right now.
I remember the NES Advantage controller with a joystick since I was a youngster. I remember a long time ago when I was played "Super Mario Bros. 2", I kept pushing the "A" button during the Bonus Chance stage when i got extra lives if it's a cherry, or anything I saw on screen. It was not working since the A button got pushed and nothing happens. That's what I have problem using my NES Advantage. I missed the NES Advantage joystick.
When controllers start to have more buttons than a person has fingers, it's time to return to a simpler time :P
I use to have this "After market" joystick for my Atari 2600 that was more like a jet fighter control stick. It may have even had suction cups on the bottom. It was good for Asteroids & Defender but for the delicate touch required for Frogger or Pole position, I liked the standard Atari one.

for some reason I sucked when I used a joystick but I was pretty good with a cointrol pad so I never bothered with a joystick. I even plugede my sega control into my atari so I could play with a control pad.
I remember the NES joystick. I still have mine.
I'm sure we still have joysticks, and why not the Thumbsticks ? they're just as much Joysticks as they are . and yes I managed to get a NAS advantage a while back. When ever I have My "Video Armaqgedon" SMB3 kick. the true way to go! but speaking about Atari sticks. I used to have this little tweeter stick that had 1 long red button on the side. which was cool for the system .
