      I don't think you'd even need a controller adapter: since Genesis still used DB-9 and the Atari button maps to either the A or B button on the Genesis (I forget which,) and Sonic is a 1-button game... just plug and play.

    • @PurpleMaleFroslass
      @PurpleMaleFroslass 2 роки тому +6

      @@guerillagrueplays6301 without getting too technical, you would. The Genesis controller only passes up and down like an Atari joystick, the other buttons (including left and right) are multiplexed (basically alternated really really fast). Genesis controllers work backwards as a byproduct of the Master System compatibility with the Genesis, but this means Genesis games will be funny with traditional joysticks at best.
      Also an adapter would at least let me add a start button. I'm sure I'd need to pause the game now and then 😜

    Somewhere, a major mix up occurred.
    A young kid told his friends(mates in the UK)he had a sweet new joystick they had to see.
    His three friends gathered in his small basement room, huddled around his computer. He tells them in an anxious voice, let's frag some fools with a frag!
    He grabs this wonderfully made joystick, and they all gasp a bit, and then all laugh in unison. Then he drops the joypad, and the pin slips out and hits the floor a foot away from the pad itself.
    But wait, what Ashens has doesn't have a removable pin? Those four friends often lived together, and in a quick and violent explosion they all died together.
    From that day forward, the army surplus store stopped selling grenade shaped controllers, because most people wanted to keep the bang in the game, not at their feet. The only thing left of those boys, their reebok pumps, still with four pumps in the chamber.

    I miss using a joystick to play old mech games on my mom's computer in the 90s'

    I miss microswitches in gamecontrollers and joysticks, it's such a shame that large companies love to cheap out so much

      Or is it you that’s cheaping out by not buying the controller you want to have?

    I love that I can not watch any Ashens for nine years, and he's still here, making the exact same quality videos on the brown couch like always.
    I think I shall catch up by drinking a load of beer and laughing at the insightful, yet hilarious dry British commentary.

    I've never told you this, so THANK YOU!
    Been enjoying your videos since you dropped the hilarious Xbox 360 parody tear down all those years ago (vial of spit and a signed Polaroid of Peter Falk). That's a lot of years of entertainment. Thank you!

    Cheetah took the "joy" out of joystick. When you were at a friends and he had two joysticks, he'd always give you the crappy one. And you'd still crane-kick his ass in International Karate II.

    Finally!
    I've been waiting for a video about the grenade and tortoise joysticks ever since I first saw the Old Joysticks roundup back when it came out. I've watched that video so much I pretty much have the script memorised along with the Chinese delicacy special. Swings and roundabouts.

    Oh dear God, I'd so forgotten about Cheetah's crap. They used those horrible joysticks that Spectravideo used in their early Quickshot joysticks. Horrible lack of travel and absolute garbage build quality. I remember spending nearly twenty quid on a Quickshot back in the day, and it snapped within a day. Utter garbage.

    My uncle had one of those ones that looks like a grenade.
    0:00 We called them "joysticks" in America, too. Joysticks are the ones with sticks on them, whereas controllers are the ones with d-pads on them.
    0:18 We had a second-hand Master System controller hooked up to our Commodore 64 and it worked just fine. I've heard that if you hook up a Genesis controller to the C64 that pressing one of the buttons will damage the computer somehow.

    That golden "China" sticker on the bottom of the turtle sure did bring* back some old childhood memories.
    Several toys that I had as a kid had this type of sticker on them, and they all said the same: _Made in China_ 😄
    *) Or should it have been "brought" ?
