Not sure how to describe it but when I say that I mean that the rubber membranes were sticking up through the controller and there was no plastic button on top.
Didn't the first couple production runs of the Family Computer (called "square-button Famicom" by collectors) also use rubber membranes for the A and B Buttons?

Youll be surprised how popular these are in less fortunate areas. I use to wonder who would ever buy these but some parents buy em for their kids in poorer places just so that they have something.

@@MisterCasket It's classic in the classic sense of the term, not the current sense of classic. If you were to go back to the times of the classics, this would still be considered classic back then

Different roms are found given the credits to Caltron and Mega Soft as developers, but hardly to verify who actually developed that one. I recommend the original, though ;)

Yes the actual design isn't that bad. Like he said, someone could easily fit a raspberry pi in there and do some fun stuff.
