I bought an Avenue Pad 6 a few years ago and it's a darn good controller, very nice for SF2 and some of the other fighting games.IvaNEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144108295923664593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-13563788317779851132010-05-27T08:43:36.512-07:002010-05-27T08:43:36.512-07:00Oh, and thanks for the compliment on the photos, I...Oh, and thanks for the compliment on the photos, IvaNEC!Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-14668728799505549212010-05-27T08:42:42.637-07:002010-05-27T08:42:42.637-07:00Bah!

Beaten to a bloody pulp by IvaNEC :) That's OK, 'cause your explanation was much better than mine.<br /><br />Anyway, I agree, IvaNEC -- the PCE pad is quite nice, regardless of whether it copied (in some ways) the NES pad. You already pointed out the only negative of the pad's original incarnation -- the lack of turbo triggers. The system's later revisions (Cure Grafx, Core Grafx II and Shuttle) came with turbo pads, but not the white system, it seems.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm going to have to get a turbo pad of some sort soon, as, just like you said, PC Genjin 1 and 2 are impossible without one! Ugh!! :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-28049948478636314812010-05-27T08:38:43.303-07:002010-05-27T08:38:43.303-07:00Justin: Oh, yes, the controllers were very similar...Justin: Oh, yes, the controllers were very similar -- at least at the start. Later versions did add something to the conversation, though -- such as turbo triggers. Some had 3 or 6 buttons, too, if I'm remembering correctly.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-25156988821605337632010-05-27T07:00:05.699-07:002010-05-27T07:00:05.699-07:00It's a lot like the NES controller, but the tr...It's a lot like the NES controller, but the trend for a long time in gaming was to take that basic design and add some buttons, bumps, and curves to it. Sure, the PCE controller bears a greater resemblance to its NES forebear than do most of the others that came along, but the PCE one came out earlier than those others.<br /><br />I'm picky, but I really like the rounded d-pad on the PCE controller, much more than the bare cross-type pads that the NES and SNES controllers utilized.<br /><br />Looking at the photos again, I'm reminded that the original PCE controller lacked turbo switches. I can't imagine playing the PC Genjins without 'em (for the sake of a continuous spin jump sans repeated button pressing)!<br /><br />By the way, awesome photos Bryan.IvaNEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144108295923664593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-70979170874126763062010-05-27T05:30:37.866-07:002010-05-27T05:30:37.866-07:00That controller SMACKS of NES.That controller SMACKS of NES.Viewtiful_Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987909785863469591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-78464026413852550732010-05-26T09:52:01.464-07:002010-05-26T09:52:01.464-07:00Well, Hayden, I hope you make that trip to Japan (...Well, Hayden, I hope you make that trip to Japan (will you take me with you? please??) -- or have that 3 am moment of weakness on eBay -- soon :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-19243583503635518842010-05-25T23:56:12.809-07:002010-05-25T23:56:12.809-07:00In the very early nineties I lusted after the PC e...In the very early nineties I lusted after the PC engine games in magazines, but it never received a UK release in any form! <br /><br />Whenever there's opportunity to buy any of the 'better' PC engines I have no interest whatsoever, it has the be the classic white unit! I think I've decided that when I eventually take a trip to Japan I'll come back with a PC engine and collection of unidentifiable hucards! :3 <br /><br />That, or a 3AM moment of weakness of ebay!<br /><br />I'll be sure to let you (and the world) know when I get one for myself! :DHayden Scott-Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264928838297121038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-74835030383415895472010-05-25T17:01:45.827-07:002010-05-25T17:01:45.827-07:00Thanks, Hayden!

It's nice to know someone shares my love of the classic white PC Engine :)<br /><br />I actually bought one of the light gray Core Grafx II systems a few years ago, and although it was nice enough to look at it had nothing on the original white system. <br /><br />BTW, I had no reason to buy one either, but I couldn't help myself. I've wanted one forever (or so it seems), so when the opportunity presented itself I took it.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for the comment. Let me know if you ever get one yourself :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-47939725993989193652010-05-25T16:19:02.705-07:002010-05-25T16:19:02.705-07:00I'm deeply in love with the classic white PC E...I'm deeply in love with the classic white PC Engine, I think it's the most attractive console ever made, and the hucards are great! I have no reason to buy one (because I have most of the games on other platforms) but I really want one. I totally respect you for buying this, especially the white one :)Hayden Scott-Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264928838297121038noreply@blogger.com
