Atari 2600 followed by NES

Same, and that is still the way a d-pad should feel IMO.
A commodore 64 joystick. Next was the NES controller.
The reverse order for me. A borrowed NES first at 5-6, then a secondhand C64 at 8. Learned to type and program BASIC on that thing.
Learned basic on that thing as well. I remember having a magazine subscription that included a program in the center fold. Then saving it to a cassette tape to enjoy later. Lol
Also worked for the Commodore 64 and Vic20.
NES controller
Commodore 64 joystick.
Me too. I started with the little brown first-party stick that came with the Pro Pack, but soon switched to an inexplicably beige Quickshot II.
Spectrum +2A
Atari 2600 controller. Joystick & button.
My parents bought us a Nintendo 64 for Christmas when it came out.
Never played any games or consoles that came in between those two. It was wild.
3 button megadrive controller
Intellivision II and Commodore 64 with joystick. Not sure which one we had first first.
PS3
I appear to be quite young around here…
Perhaps a bit.
Mine was ps2. Grandparents still had the original nes my dad played on. Fortunately got some duck hunt and Mario 1 memories
Yall making me feel like a little kid
Not a controller per say, but does a mouse and keyboard count?
N64, and no I’m still not sure how to hold it, I always end up walking funny.
There is no wrong way to hold an N64 controller. Any way you hold it, it is equally uncomfortable.
Lol I love this.
Atari controller
We upgraded to a Wica controller (same thing as the Atari controller just with better parts so it didn’t break so easily.)
Paddle or joystick?
Oh man, that brought back some memories, thanks!
First joystick and then paddles.
