Video Game "Look what I found"

[noiseredux]

The Playstation DUAL ANALOG Controller is rare. I have never seen one in real life. Does it play any different then a regular one? I didn't know it had a green light.

EDIT: I didn't realize there was a dual analog meaning different than dual shock.

First off I want to apologize to all that are upset. I am just real excited in what i have found. Some may see my Video Game Find as not that great but please read on to the end. Also bear in mind that I have been looking for this game Controller for the past 10 years. I am still unsure money value because I never see it on E-bay. But to me its not a money value but finding a treasure at the end of a long search.

I was also not trying to hijack but to ADD interest to this Topic by getting expertise from others on Unique game systems and accessories.

I thought the end result is that we might all benefit one of the joys of Video gaming, that is discovering new treasures. I myself have learned about some great Retro systems. I now see I have a lot more hunting to do out there.

Again my Apologies I really meant no offense to anyone.

Anyways what I bought for $5.00 is a simple grey Playstation DUAL ANALOG Controller:



Note it is a DUAL ANALOG not DUAL SHOCK. These came out right after the first PS1 Analog also known as the PS1 Flight Stick:



I have 2 of these but I consider that little one on top a lot more valuable.

It is the only Sony Brand PS1 joystick that supports Gamepad - Flightstick - Current PS1 Dual Shock. Two color lights - A Red light and unique to this stick a Green light would indicate which Analog mode is chosen. I mentioned the Japanese versions had problems. Those Japanese controllers also came with the first shock motors which would sometimes fry the board. So consequently the American release did not have the shock motor. Roughly 3 months later the Japanese version was replaced with a new DUAL SHOCK but Analog Flightstick mode was dropped. American PS1 consoles than followed suit repackaging with new Dual Shock. The reason the Flight Analog was dropped was the electrical problem with vibration motor and the fact that few games supported the old Flightstick mode. The games had an icon on the back that states Analog Compatible and showed an outline of the Flightstick handle. PS1 Descent comes to mind.

I really like this controller. It has Unique Sticks with concave thumbs just like the Interact Barracuda stick which is my other favorite stick. (That is a story itself) The handles are longer than your regular Dual Shock. I have stted before I love Video Games best when playing them so this stick will share time along with the Barracuda. Although probably a lot more gingerly and carefully. No Street Fighter on this controller!

Lastly once again my APOLOGIES for upsetting anyone

I could have sold you 3 of these i have in my drawer right now for the cost of 4 dollar shipping -_-

But if they are rare i might as well keep them now.

They're not so rare as they're uncommon.

I'll take 'em, though.

I've always wanted to try one of these out.

[tahoe2]

They feel exactly like the normal dual shock. Only difference is the weird concave junk. I always switched the controls so i wouldnt have to use the analog sticks.

I edited this addition to my post on the previous page:
This to me is one of the true spirit of finding a treasure that anyone can afford. The reason why is most sellers do not recognize it from the regular grey Dual Shock.

As far as how it plays ..........

Longer handles more comfortable for big hands. Sticks are looser similar as PS3 in movement. L2 and R2 have a notch so you can tell by feel. The sweetest is the extra Flightstick mode with a green light for Mechwarrior and Descent. I like the solid Concave thumbrests on the sticks, no slipping. Oh, another very cool feature that I have only seen in a couple other controllers is that the sticks can function same as the digital pads. Great for a lot of the older games that don't support Analog function.

Here is a pic of my other favorite stick, A first Edition Interact Barracuda Controller a real monster:


My Cat Head PS1 Controller

It has the same Concave buttons and is HUGE, definitely not made for a kid. The uniqueness of this stick like the DUAL ANALOG is that the sticks can function like the digital pads. It can also be programmed for combo button presses but also each button combo can be programed for hold time as well!

I rate these sticks up there with my Dual Blaze Dip Switch Arcade Stick.

Now if there were more time in the day .............

I was given a rental car for today and found a loose game boy cartridge under the seat. It is probably the most ubiquitous game boy game there is. Anyone want to take a guess which game?

Its label is beat to hell and appears to have a liberal application of glue on it. Corner chipped off. Generally looks like it spent some time at the bottom of the ocean. Still works great.
