Part 3:

Anyway, my original system was disposed of a couple years ago but I started feeling masochistic, er, um, I mean nostalgic again so I just bought a used system…what an a**hole I am! It is said that the real definition of insanity is when you do the same thing over and over and expect different results every time…well, see you in the nut house!

Granted we were probably tough on them, but those damn controllers had a shelf life of about 6 months each! Who knows how many we were through. Poor mom.

Very good review. And I liked the music used at the end.
I’ve never used classic systems, but you explained the pain of that controller well enough for me to understand.
On the plus side, I guess it did pave the way for the analog sticks on our PS and Xbox controllers. With 3D games out today, they are definitely much better to use than a D-pad or a non-analog joystick.
