Dude, Commodore 64k was awesome. I spent hours playing that with games like arkanoid and aztec challenge.SomethingAmazing said:
What's the best and worst console controller?
- Thread starter Jackstick
- Start date
i loved the original xbox controler..............but then i have massive hands and sausage fingers...
Worst?
The orginal ps3 contoller:
I wouldn't call a contoll stick or control pad a controller, so that's why this is my choice.
Best: 360. gamecube is a close second.

Best: Xbox 360 controller or dualshock, I cant really decide.
Worst: AND I CAN'T BELIVE NOONE MENTIONED THIS: Those freaking keypad controllers on some ataris and colecovision and other ancient machine. I want to keep my phone and my controller seperate please.

Best: Playstation Duelshock controller
It's well laid out and perfectly symmetrical. The PS3 controller has those triggers that makes driving and shooting feel cooler.
Worst: N64 or Xbox
N64 is hard to hold and I get confused as to which button is which. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for it
the Original Xbox controller was too large for me to hold. The black and white buttons where awkward to press. The Xbox 360 controller is much improed.

I agree, other people moan at me for thinking that, and say that the XBOX is more comfortable.Popadoo said:
I dunno about you but but my definition of 'comfortable' isn't having your hands spread to breaking point by something the size of a brick!
Anyway favourite: PS3 Dualshock
worst: WII!
Best - N64/Gamecube for being made of beastly plastic and being awesome...
Worst - The original Xbox controller w/ the White and Black Buttons in painful locations

From what I played with the best, is my PS3 controller.
The worst probably the XboX controller. I just couldn't get used to that one (it was the first console I had ever played with for a longer time, though).
The worst controller in history must be Kinect. I'm such a horrible controller. Way too chunky, hardly any buttons and requires a daily membership fee if you don't want to brick.

Best: 360 controller. It fits my hand naturally, has a nice weight and my fingers and thumbs automatically end up where they should without me having to adjust them or think about it. My Logitech Wireless PS2 controller is also pretty sweet for the same reasons.
Worst: N64. Feels both cheap and awkward, like they had too many ideas and they couldn't reconcile them into a coherent whole.

Hah I use to love my N64 controller. Dug it up a few months ago and can't believe I was so comfortable with it, guess I'm too use to the more 'modern' stuff now.
Anyway, I'd say the Sixaxis Dualshock 3 ps3 controller, if only for the fact it fits my hands perfectly.

PS3 by far.
Modern controllers, xbox 360. All those buttons in hard to reach places.
Of all time, I forget what it was called, but it was really huge and looked like a keyboard, it wasn't at all.

Best - PS3. I don't need to inject growth hormone into my hands to be able to hold it comfortably, it's a very familiar design and both the d pad and analogue sticks are easily accessible.
Worst - Xbox. Basically take all of the positives from what I said about the PS3. The opposite applies to this controller. 360 one's alright though, lest I be accused of fanboyism.

Best: The Xbox 360 controller. It is perfect size for my hands and the weight feels comfortable. Plus the ability to swap out battery packs is a plus compared to my PS3 controller that feels too small, too light and if the batter dies I have to stand 3 feet away from my TV so it can charge while I play.
Worst: N64 controller. Why on earth did they give us a controller with 3 handles when the human body is only supposed to have 2 hands? Plus there were so many god damn buttons (haven't touched the controller in years, so this may be wrong).

The best controller for me it the official 360. I has a nice weight and a great feel to it. The worst one for me is the ps3 controller, I hate the button layout and sixaxis.
Worst ones:
-N64: This has been repeated so many times, but seriously, on what kind of controller would you made a third of it useless? That wasn't the case for every game, but it's still a ridiculous design.
-any controller with a number pad for buttons: I think the Atari 5200 comes to mind for this, so it's especially bad when it doesn't work.
Best ones:
-NES: Keep it simple, stupid.
-Gamecube: Having the A button be a huge one in the middle of three smaller buttons was a weird idea. Still, it helped to know what the main button was for your most important action.
EDIT:
Honorable Mention goes to the Wiimote for sheer versatility, although I'm not a huge fan of superfluous motion controls that could just as easily be mapped to buttons (like spinning in Mario Galaxy).

I'm partial to the playstation line of controllers but the gamecube was comfortable as well (especially for the Megaman X collection... it's like the GC was made for megaman). Worst would probably be the n64 or dreamcast for me.
