Retro Controllers

Control Freak

January 17, 2016 By ausretrogamer

Controller_SteelBattalionIf you thought that the Xbox Steel Battalion control deck was expensive (Ed: and so it should be, it is a beast!), then bare in mind that there are other controllers and joysticks out there that give the Steel Battalion a run for its money – a lot of run!

Check out some of the most expensive controllers out there for your old school gaming systems. Yeah, these prices made us wince too. It is quite important to have great control when playing video games, so we’ll stick with our trusty 30 year old TAC-2 for the C64.

What was the most expensive controller / joystick you ever purchased?

Atari Jaguar ProController – its rarity demands big bucks!

MVGS3: Use Your Retro Gaming Controllers On Your Smartphone or Tablet

July 27, 2014 By ausretrogamer

1-Mvgs3-AusretrogamerAttention retro gamers! Do not throw out your much loved old joysticks (or gamepads)!

Patrice Daubaire’s new invention, the MVGS3 (Multi Video Games System Three), allows up to 95 different retro gaming controllers to be used to navigate and also play games on your new smartphone and tablet! With the patent still pending, let’s all hope this awesome creation gets a commercial release soon (Ed: Perhaps Kickstarter could help?)

Just in case you were not aware of Patrice’s inventing pedigree, his previous creation, the MVGS2-Dream-Station made jaws drop all around the world a year ago (Ed: I am still picking up mine off the floor.)!

We will be keeping a close eye on this one and will hopefully be getting our grubby mits on it very soon!
