Atari 2600 followed by NES
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
3-button Genesis controller.
Same, and that is still the way a d-pad should feel IMO.
3 button megadrive controller
NES controller
Intellivision II and Commodore 64 with joystick. Not sure which one we had first first.
Spectrum +2A
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.
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.
Yall making me feel like a little kid
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.
Pong.
Not a controller per say, but does a mouse and keyboard count?
C64 joystick was the first (playing Professional Ski Simulator…) but the Mega Drive controller was the one I used everyday.
PS1. Unless mouse and keyboard counts….
