it didnt include the trance vibrator that was included with Rez (it may not have been considered a actuall controller but it was still funny)

Quite a few spelling mistakes, you might want to fix those.

Normally, we don't allow site advertising, but your new and the site is really well done, so I'll let it slide.

Give this guy some input on additions and changes you'd like to see, alright guys?

Well, the 2600's joystick wasn't analog...

Just 5 contacts: one each for up, down, left, right, and the trigger.

Interesting little collection. Some of those controllers are way funky! Right up my alley, so I'm going to ahve to keep my eyes open for them.
I never saw that PS2p before, nor the Xbox portable 2. Would you have a link to the XboxP2? I'd really like to check that out some more!

I think the bandwidth might have been killed

yeah, I think it's gone now.
but if I recall from when I went there before, you missed the stock controller for the bally astrocade. a pistolgripped stick with a paddle built in.

it's a shame left-handed controllers took over. so many systems were very unique before that, and so few afterwards. except for the speciality ones.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. For some reason, freehostia.com is down, and I will see if I can find another site. I used a spellchecker and hopefully those typos were fixed. And I did more research and found more controllers and updated descriptions of others. Hopefully the site will comeback on so I can upload the changes.

And thanks for telling me about the Bally Astrocade, I have never heard of that before.

And for the second portable xbox, I dont remember where I found it, I think it might have been on these forums. But I think that the case was made by ben and then sent to someone else to put the parts into it.

I would try freewebs.com or famster.com. If nothing else, you can host them there until they go over the bandwidth limit. Also, distribute a Coral cache link too (before they go down). Y'know, just as a safeguard.

Also, I happen to have a Bally Astrocade upstairs. If you need any photos of controller insides or anything, I would be happy to provide them.

Thanks, but I found a picture of the controller. Anyway the site is back up and I have updated the first post with the Coral link.

nice site. but i think the round saturn controller beat GC with analog stick placement and dreamcast with triggers
