(Oct 11 - 2012) Seeing as I'm providing very little substance to the Classic League C Division so far , and am thoroughly impressed by the professional website design and general attitude of this community - I feel like I should contribute something to you all (or to any newbs who are just starting out). The day you downloaded the GENS or ZNES emulator, you probably tried it out with whatever gaming peripheral you had handy - be it gamepad, joystick or keyboard. Perhaps you had an XBOX 360 or a PS3 controller that you could just plug into your PC/laptop via USB in order to satisfy your curiosity. Fact is, if you've downloaded any of the many brilliant NHL94 roms - you need a better controller. The only way you will compete in online league-play is to get yourself one or two (a spare is important) quality controllers. Now I should mention that many great NHL94 players have avoided buying any controller and have near perfected their play using nothing but their keyboard (talk about cheapass!). Others have chosen to continually buy the least expensive USB gamepads they can find (as they inevitibly break-down from abuse). However, if you want the true retro feel of playing 16/32 bit games you need a 6-button gamepad like the one that came with the later generation Sega Genesis machines (pictured above). if you can't get your hands on one of these gaming goddess', either with a USB adapter or the more recent PC/MAC USB reissue - then you'll need to hunt the shelves for a substitute. I've put together a google spreadsheet that I'll be linking in this post, and plan to review a different 6-button controller every week. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to post them below. Alternately, please let us know what you're playing with and why it's better than a 6-button controller (does it have a 7th button?) Jer_33

So what controller do you use? Not just the stars, but anyone? (I just liked that title.) Tell me and I will add it to the list... tr.controller td { color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; } tr.controllerH td { background-color: #999; } tr.controller1 td {color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; } Name Controller Notes Kingraph MK-1653 * - Icestorm MK-1653 - AngryJay Sega Saturn (used to use keyboard) Uncle Seth MK-1653 - Sebe MK-1653 (inactive) smozoma MK-1653 (used to use Logitech P880) jer_33 MK-1653 (used to use Hori FC4) Darko MK-1653 - brutus iBuffalo - aqualizard iBuffalo - atomicraven iBuffalo - Zepp iBuffalo - FPB Keyboard - Depch Keyboard - HABS Keyboard - Plabax Keyboard (inactive) Zalex Keyboard (inactive) Freydey Keyboard (inactive) swos Keyboard (inactive) JackVandal Keyboard - Carse MK-1650 + (inactive) BoKnows MK-1650 (inactive) VC MK-1650 (inactive) KGMan MK-1650 (inactive) Jack&Jose MK-1650 - Tex Logitech F310 - TomKabs93 afterglow ps3 controller (inactive) Clockwise Sega Saturn - pearate Xbox 360 - If I guessed and got it wrong, let me know. * MK-1653 is the small, original 6-button Genesis one + MK-1650 is the large, original 3-button Genesis one
