2 pairs of samba de amigo maracas for the DC, one official and one third party, not super rare, but took me a long time to find for a good price!

I suppose mine would be the Sega Sports Pad for SMS and a Commodore branded joystick. I don't really remember seeing the Commodore sticks around despite C64s being the most sold PC ever. Though being cream colored like that it was likely sold to go with a Vic-20.

This is a toughie. I have a CDX Pro Cart w/ box, a CIB Sega CD backup RAM cart, CIB Samba De Amigo maracas, a boxed Nomad, a CIB CDX, and a few other things but I'm not sure how rare they would be considered.
What a maneuver!

I have nothing rare besides the well known negcon.
I highly recommend it and also Side by Side Special.
There's also Side by side Special 2000 which also support dual analog ps1 controller.
both do not work on ps3 with ps1 compatability.

I remembered I have a beatmania controller, I don't know how rare they are, but you don't see them too often.

You talking about this?...

That's the exact controller I was talking about. :D

The Playstation Analog Joystick looks awesome. I can't get one because I live in Canada and I don't know of a site that will ship here. There wasn't any on ebay or amazon. :(

There probably is, but it just isn't listed as such. It's hard to tell from a pic alone.

I knew it! That controller is pretty popular.

A rare chance find, never know where you might find one in the wild. Most sellers think its just a plain PSX grey controller, usually can be picked up cheaply. Quickest way to spot is the concave analog sticks and the longer grips. L2 and R2 triggers have a bump on them.

My first one cost five dollars at a local swap meet. :mrgreen:
Second one I found cost three dollars at a local thrift store. :mrgreen:
