Which peripherals left an impression on you?

The first Guitar Hero on PS2 will always be special. Aside from Beatmania (which was about as niche as they come, despite a PAL Playstation release), there was nothing else like it. Bought a copy when visiting my best mate in Scotland, don’t think we left the house all week.

Namco’s Negcon was amazing. Twisting it to have analogue steering was a genius idea, and once you got the hang of it going back to traditional controls was impossible. This was THE way to play the Ridge Racer games.

Attempting to aim the old Nintendo Super Scope as advertised is just self-torture for under-tens. Still get phantom shoulder cramps thinking about trying to play

Terminator 2: Judgment Day with it.

Can’t forget dance pads. From the thin and flimsy to arcade replicas, Dance Dance

Revolution and Pump It Up fans had to have something to jump on. I went as far as owning a Cobalt Flux hard pad and creating arcade-style modular control boxes for them.

Quest 64 Official

Densha De Go! train controller for the N64. There’s a lot of Densha De Go controllers, but this system is my favourite and this game got zero international push. Good times though.

The Steel Battalion controller. Considering it was built for one game only, it’s so expensive and something pretty unique.

Llama King

The Justifier for Lethal Enforcers on the Mega-cd. Made me feel like I was Dirty Harry and I just loved it.

James Potter

The Dreamcast Fishing Controller is good for party games. Play Crazy Taxi with it and you’ll have an epic time.

Ken Harrison

I really liked the DJ Hero turntable and how it worked with the game. Shame it was never held in the same regard as the Guitar

Hero titles.

How could anyone forget the Donkey Konga bongo controllers? The games were already fun but the bongos really elevated the experience.
