Plus a free MP3?! WHOOOOOOA!

Did someone die? Is this all taking place inside a bottle of 7-Up? So many questions…

    As if the original Xbox controller wasn’t enough of a chonker. Did a bit digging and the company made some radical designs. Just look at this controller aimed for console FPS players. This looks partially like some military equipment and the LCD screen reminds me of handheld electronic games.

    I also found a Behance profile for the guy who made controller designs for Gamester. Prepare for more aesthetic overload. https://www.behance.net/gallery/845834/Radica-Games-(Mattel)-Gamester-2002-04

      I’m pretty sure this controller is used to operate a machine which transfers nuclear waste to the Nestlé production facility.

      Overload indeed. Cripes!

      That FPS controller is pretty badass though. It’s got a sort of Spirit Halloween quality to it.

        They are on the back as paddles. Think about it, this was far before any Elite Controllers.

          Yeah. The bad old days when there were two trigger paddles but instead of two more easily accessible buttons above those… Let’s just jam them below or above all other buttons on the right side. Depending on the layout I often found it easier to just remove my entire left hand from the controller and press them; just friggen ideal.

    I don’t know what you’re talking about, this is Great Design. It says so right under the controller, so it must be true. You wouldn’t question Great Design while downloading an mp3, would you?
