They were SO close! - Weird controllers that defined modern gaming

Check out what you can fix with iFixit at www.iFixit.com/LTT
Game controllers have been around for as long as games have… But WEIRD controllers have probably been around for longer. Let’s try a few of the (IMO) most important for ourselves…

[@LGR]

Excellent stuff here, great work Anthony! Man, seeing some attention given to the Gravis Gamepad Pro made me smile. I loved mine back in the day for its PS1-like feel in the hands and all the buttons it provided, but I've honestly never given much thought to how it accomplished more individual buttons over the humble gameport. It always annoyed me that the OG Gamepad only supported two buttons despite having four, ha. Annnnd now I gotta find that 4-player hub 😄

[@DryPaperHammerBro]

Hey Clintenator-5000!

[@DarkLord61636]

Immediately after this video, I tore my house apart trying to find my Gamepad Pro...but alas, it's no more.

[@andrewsadach3194]

Anthony needs to do a joysticks video. Specifically Gravis (now Kensington) joysticks. There was too many joysticks with so little differences.

[@pleaseuseOdysee]

MY LIEGE

[@lasborg]

Hey you could have recomended the SpaceOrb 360 for an Odd controller.

[@carlosmafia]

I feel like Anthony is at his best when he talks about something he finds cool or interesting. And his best is a high bar. Love this video.

[@wickedwonka999]

I love how passionate he is about retro gaming

[@dhoyda]

Plus I'm sure he wrote the script which makes a video better. The person speaking is almost always the best person to write their speaking roles as well.

[@dixie_rekd9601]

I would legit watch hours of him talking about tech history and gaming evolution.

[@38SRI]

1000th like

[@Hexen_Wulf]

There's more "retro nerd explains old things" channels than you can shake a stick at, but Anthony is the only one (other than LGR) that I'd actually want to hang out with. No weird gimmicks, no zany characters, and no grating personality here. He's a damned unicorn.

[@dfess6463]

This was cool. Honestly, I would love a deep dive with more controllers in an episode. I did enjoy this though. Thanks for the vid.

[@Grimmwoldds]

Unfortunately, Anthony's ability to procure bizarre Japanese things is not unlimited. I mean, they also designed the Tokai MM9(and kept using it).

[@TheMmiguel002]

I was hoping to see more controls like the interact super pad 64 my uncle got me 4 at walmart back in the day and were excellent for smash bros

[@HaydenX]

My first thoughts on weird, old controllers are: The Sega Activator, the Namco Negcon (the twisty one), "The Glove" (n64 controller glove), the Datasoft LE stick for the Atari (first motion controller ever...uses a liquid mercury tube with contacts to function), and the DDR hand controller...literally just a shrunk down and clicky version of the arcade double dance pad.

[@jae8766]

I had a Ne-g-con. It actually was a great controller for racing games.

[@tacticalmatt7030]

I'm glad ltt understands how good Anthony is at being a host

[@vegard115]

Everyone loves Anthony

[@twizz420]

I asked for "MOAR ANTHONY" in the comment section of every single video for months until they finally started using him as a host...

Linus this was awesome, honestly just let Anthony start a new retro themed channel.

[@2mustange]

just let him have his own LMG Anthony channel. Where he releases videos on his interests which seem to be what a lot of us want

[@jaredkomoroski]

[@RonGrethel]

@@2mustange I think a lot of his pc content fits into Ltt, but his retro gaming stuff is almost a separate genre.

[@iheartninja]

I could watch hours and hours of Anthony talking about old lesser known gaming and hardware topics.

[@annjrue]

I mean, some random guy named " *Johnathan* " got his own channel, why not Anthony?

[@CrimFerret]

If you're going to do a second installment of this, you'd pretty much have to include the SpaceOrb. It had rubber ball on the upper left that acted as a six axis controller. They provided driver hooks to game creators and one of them was infamously used in the original Descent. If you hit the button, your ship did an instant 180 degree flip with no other direction change which meant to could then blast another player who was on your tail. There was no other way to access that move.

[@danielisbell]

LGR did a good video on that controller. I have one of the 3DConnexion SpaceMouse models build around the same concept. They work really well but are difficult to get used to. They're pretty sensitive, & it's difficult to only rotate on one axis at a time.

[@CrimFerret]

@@danielisbell I have a 3D Connexion Space Navigator (earlier version of the Space Mouse I think). It's great, but not as a game controller.

[@Minimelkav]

I really love these informational videos from LTT. Especially ones that touch on the "history" of modern tech. These are the kinds of videos you can watch 10 years from now and it will still be just as relevant.

[@skiy22567]

Anthony constantly presents himself as one of the most well spoken and knowledgeable team members and its really great hea getting to talk about history of tech

[@hopsys]

I think a pirate stole your R

[@jsmit9484]

I agree! I wish he would lose some weight though.. he can barely open his eyes at this point. It's so unhealthy.

[@jsonr]

@@jsmit9484 it isn't your decision to decide if he should lose weight. you don't even know if he is currently trying or has teied his best in the past

[@jsmit9484]

@@jsonr Can you read? I said "I wish he would lose some weight". And it's the general consensus that he should lose some weight. It's literally threatening his life. I'm not saying it's easy. I've been struggling with my own weight for a long time. But nothing is easy in life.

[@TransparentlyDuplicitous]

I'd absolutely love more Linux and Retro Games with Anthony. There's just something about the way Anthony presents these topics that I enjoy a lot more than in a lot of other more dedicated channels.

[@bmoney70seven69]

I think it's when he presents something he enjoys

[@Dawn_Breaker]

Anthony's transformation from when he started appearing as a video host to today is impressive.

[@Killer524]

This video was a great watch, Fantastic job Anthony!

[@GameRaveTV]

I was in the beta program for the TurboTouch on the NES side. After 30 minutes I knew it was going to be DOA. The lack of tactile was too much. You should have Linus use the Sega Activator. =)

[@joeyvigil]

I had one of those growing up, it was terrible.

[@mrgw98]

How did one get on the beta program for a controller back in the day?

[@GameRaveTV]

@@mrgw98 It's been too long to recall. However, if 1993 was it's announcement year, more than likely I had filled out a card at their booth at CES. CES was in downtown Chicago at the time; I and two friends were dropped off by the one's dad and had the whole day to ourselves. We tried every game, filled out every form and contest we could find. I still remember opening a Turbo Duo and holding Spriggan in my hand...with no intention to steal....just...no one thought to lock the consoles up. XD So more than likely we were at their booth and I hand wrote out a chance to try it. I ended up selling it to a fellow collector years ago. That was a great time, I can't fathom how terrible a public CES / E3 would be with today's social media obsessed folk.

[@herranton]

I thought of the activator almost immediately at the beginning of this video.

[@Bob_Smith19]

It was hot garbage. I bought one once they were deeply discounted and proceeded to throw it in the trash after an afternoon of “using” it.

[@mikearisbrocken8507]

Anthony is the prime jewel in the crown that is LMG.

[@slundal]

agreed!

[@arnox4554]

Lots of ballyhooing about Anthony, but let's not forget, if Linus didn't know how to recognize talent, then none of this would even have existed in the first place. Being a great manager is a pretty thankless job.

[@lecogti177]

Most people praise Anthony because they feel sorry for him.

[@SB-pf5rc]

@@lecogti177 uhh, no? it's because he makes videos like this one.

[@arnox4554]

@@traewatkins931 This is (mostly) true, but I was just saying thankless in a social sense. Also, they have a LOT more responsibilities, and Linus is no exception. He makes a great decision, nobody says anything. He makes 500 great decisions, nobody says anything. He makes one mistake, people are on him like flies on meat. And he's not special in this regard, yes, but I'm just pointing out that the ironically underappreciated underdog here is actually Linus.

[@hardergamer]

Excellent and super interesting video, Anthony needs to do longer ones like this.

[@halfmanhalfnerd4986]

I still have in my old tech pile a Microsoft Strategic Commander. I got it on probably it's last ditch effort sale before they discontinued the manufacturing. It was interesting for RTS controls. You did have pretty good sweeping of the map with the device while using your mouse to grab and move troops. But trying to remember which layer you programmed which button, and then switching back to another layer kind of just made you realize it's easier to just have a full sized keyboard you don't have to program for each game.

Found the info on the gameport very interesting, one thing I have always wondered though, why did Microsoft actually fully remove all support for them in windows XP, I mean sure they were limited compared to USB, but so is parallel and serial ports, and those are still supported. Possibly would be a good techquickie video?

[@jakedill1304]

I remember the flight leveling crisis, and it's at the end of the game.. played through and thoroughly enjoyed myself, super OCD doing cool shit like turning into a fucking gun toting shark jumping over boats by doing the dolphin jump with speed under the water shouldn't everybody driving back in throwing coconuts throwing chickens throwing teapots throwing Koreans great game then you get to the flight level.... And I dust off my joystick that I hadn't used since Grand theft Auto San Andreas, nothing nothing.. I'm like wait what the fuck it's it's plugged in it works I calibrate it nothing wasn't a good level anyways, and I had to play with the fucking mouse lol. Next comes GTA IV, and you get to the obligatory we have planes so you have to do some sort of flying mission, in that game that was a series of objectory tech demos already, plug in my joystick already calibrated at this point I was ahead of myself I just been waiting you know the whole time and nothing.. check it again nothing nothing happens, had to play with the fucking mouse again LOL. This is where I learned that but basically peripheral support was not going to be a thing in the consillitis future, they took my gameplay they took my vertical design they took my complex level design they took my complex AI, then it took my fucking joystick.. fucking dicks, that point I just on general principle didn't buy a gamepad.. although I ended up doing it for a buddy to play Street fighter, sure as fuck will never buy an Xbox controller, which again why would I it has no gyro and has no touch bad it has no back buttons it's the same piece of shit it always was.. at least the PS4 controller has you know 90s fucking office toy technology LOL.. yet nobody nobody cares, funny I learned about it from this channel, had no idea that that existed, I mean outside of the Wii.. this was a good 10 years after the PS3 no 15 years.. go figure nothing like standards that you keep exactly the same, nothing changes except the heavy levels of scripting required to play the game for the shitty controller because it can't.
