MamboGator, 3-button Genesis controller.
tuckerm, Same, and that is still the way a d-pad should feel IMO.
RaineV1, The NES controller. Though I like 2 at the time. First one I remember playing is the SNES controller.
xfts, Keyboard and mouse, but when I started using computers I was so young that my hands were too small to hold the mouse properly, so I left clicked with my thumb up until three or four years ago when I got my first ergonomic mouse. Kinda funny how long habits can stay with you.
pseudorandom, Radio Shack Pong game.
almost1337, Trackball/Portable computer keyboard, followed by NES
joeyv120, Commodore 64 joystick.
Redkey, 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.
Null, A commodore 64 joystick. Next was the NES controller.
Nemo, 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.
Null, 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
Corgana, I played many systems before the Dreamcast but I consider that controller my first.
jeff_rose, Atari 2600 followed by NES
Nunya, Intellivision II and Commodore 64 with joystick. Not sure which one we had first first.
sparky1337, PS1. Unless mouse and keyboard counts….
GenXLiberal, 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.)
natecox, Paddle or joystick?
GenXLiberal, Oh man, that brought back some memories, thanks!
First joystick and then paddles.
