Manufactured by: Champ |
This controller is a pretty
good for a backup, and especially handy if you've misplaced your other
controllers. It has two turbo buttons, which is a plus, but all the buttons
stick out kind of a lot. The only down side it that the cord sticks out the
side, and it sometimes gets in the way. It is manufactured by Champ,
but I don't know if the controller has an actual name. |

Doc's Controller? - This controller is
obviously intended to mimic the standard NES controller, and mimic it does,
except for the two added turbo buttons. It has a comfortable feel, even with
the cord in the side. The edges are kind of rounded, so it's a bit
easier on the hands. |

Zipper - Believe it or not, this
controller is licensed, because it carries an Nintendo-made plug at the end.
The neat thing about this is not that it has a turbo, but each turbo can be
adjusted separately. And, unlike some turbo controllers, there's only one
set of buttons, so no reaching up for the turbo. It was manufactured by
Beeshu and it comes in five tasty flavors!

NES Max (NES-027) - I'm not sure
who Nintendo designed this for, but it's too damn small. Other than that
it's a pretty comfortable fit. Oh yeah, see that weird cycloid thingy where
the cross-pad should go? It's tough to get used to. You have to press down
and then move around, which is a bit cumbersome. Oh well, not a bad
addition to a collection. |

NES "Dogbone" - Ah, ease and comfort
for your cramped fingers is just another controller away. It was packaged
with the top loading NES system and sold separately in 1993, so that makes
them a bit rare. It's got a nice rounded back and not many straight corners,
reducing hand pain. It mimics the SNES with the two circles joined by a
rectangle and the angled A and B buttons. Nab one if you ever
find it. |

Quickshot - There's not a whole lot
that is interesting about this controller, just a few things. First, note
the weird Start and Select buttons in one button (push left or right side).
The rapid fire has three settings, which affects both buttons at once; this
is a poor design because some games, especially side scrolling platforms,
interfere with the gameplay when both buttons are on turbo. |

Manufactured by: Sansui |
Joycard - This is another Famicom
controller. It's got a few cool features. First, there are two turbo
switches that separately control A and B. The other addition is an
extra cord that branches off of the plug. That cord reaches around the
side of the console and plugs into the "audio out" jack. In relation
to that, there is 1/8" headphone jack on the controller so that you
can plug in a pair of headphones. This whole setup is accompanied by a
volume control slider on the upper-left-hand side of the controller.
Not that bad of an idea, if you actually like to sit and listen to the same
game music repeat over and over and over. |

Arkanoid Controller - This controller
was included with Arkanoid (in the US). The controller was only
available with Arkanoid (in the US), and Arkanoid wasn't published in great
numbers, so this controller is very rare in the US. The only game in the US
which uses it is Arkanoid (obviously), in Japan, at least 2 games can use it
(both by Taito), Arkanoid and Chase HQ (Japanese version only), and a third
one, Arkanoid 2 (released only in Japan) might also be able to use it as
well. |

Honey Bee/Competition Pro. The top
controller has Honey Bee written on it and the bottom controller has
Competition Pro written on it, but they are the same controller. Hmmm.
Other than that interesting difference, this controller sports the same
features as the other turbo enhanced controllers we've seen. Two
regular buttons (I'm assuming Green and Blue) and then the two turbo buttons
(Yellow and Red). There is a little black button-like thing in the
middle that I have no clue about. Other than that, it's a pretty
straight-forward controller. |

Turbo Touch 360 - This controller's
claim to fame was its "touch sensor"... basically you could simply just
place your thumb on the sensor pad without pressing down like with the usual
D-pad. And Triax was really proud of that. Of course, they failed to
mention that the all-powerful touch sensor could pick up any dust particles
that landed on it just as well as it could pick up the movement of your
thumb. So I often found my character looking like he's having muscle
spasms. Also, the controller was uncomfortably huge. I'd compare it to the
size of an X-box controller. Still, gaming magazines advertised the crap
out of this stupid controller. It even had a TV commercial, consisting of a
Troy McClure-esque guy dressed up as the Turbo Touch 360 picking on a wimpy
bald dude in glasses dressed up as a normal controller. |

Power Pad - Now here is some
brilliance. Take a new controller, and name it after an already
successful accessory licensed by Nintendo. Let's just sat that the
executives at Teqniche aren't that bright. But on the up-side, there is so
much power in this pad that it has a "slow-motion selector for precision
control" and "Multi-function Turbo fire buttons - 24 shots per second" oh
wow! This wonderful piece of crap was originally released in Australia.

Quickshot Joypad (QS-126) - This
interesting piece of equipment is meant to be a joystick without the stick.
The two slanted buttons at the top are A and B (A on the left and B on the
right). Then there is a switch at the top for turbo, and below that is
the start/select toggle-like switch. The grey circle at the bottom of
the controller is the "joypad". It sits on a little center axis and
rotates in all directions. Overall, it's a nice controller to use,
it's comfortable and it only takes a little time to get used to. |

Super Controller - This is basically a
plastic case that slips over your standard NES controller leaving the
A and B buttons fully exposed. "So what?" you ask. Well, you see in the
picture that little hole on the control pad? That's where you slip in a
small plastic rod to act as a joystick. So basically it makes any
standard controller a joystick. Not too useful, but worth a look if
you're an arcade game player or a collector. |

??? - I'm not to sure about this controller. From my experience, this
thing appeared on eBay around a year ago. I bought a pair and I was
partially disappointed. On one side, it is another controller to add
to the collection, but it is made very poorly. It's obviously a
homebrew. It has a thin plastic shell and unusual design and
construction. If
