I got one of these as a kid when I went to visit my dad for a weekend and brought the N64, he wanted to be able to play it with me. I wound up making my friend use it every time he came over to play, he must've hated me for it at the time.

Fuck off, oldfag. I was 7 for most of 2001 so 6th gen comprised most of my late childhood/tween years. I was still exposed to older games thanks to my parents and friends, and in 2000 I distinctly remember having an NES, SNES, N64, and even my own PC running Win98.

I know my experience isn't the same as people here who actually remember growing up in the 1990s, but even still, I have an appreciation for older games and that's what this board's about.

Anyway, all the controllers I remember using on pre 6th-gen systems were first party stuff, and it wasn't until around the early-mid 2000s that I really started to own any third party controllers, all of which were for at the time current gen systems. Most of them weren't bad, but I had an awful wireless Gamecube pad that really liked to decalibrate itself, and a wireless PS2 pad that had occasional connection issues.

Polite sage since most of this is off topic. I apologize for not having anything better to contribute.

Not retro but the only third party controller I ever liked and still use today is the Pelican Snes Gamecube controller. It's a rip off of the Hori pad
but still works and feels great for fighting games
I think I bought it for Cvs2 at the time.
