About to get involved here. Wondering if there is a "best" conroller for the genesis game. If so where to get it, etc.

word.

Hey,

For Genesis, I highly recommend getting one of the Sega Saturn pads like this one: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-49-en-70-cj3.html

The only thing is, this website is currently out of stock. I haven't looked around, but maybe someone else can post where you can get Sega Saturn pads.

The other option for both systems is to actually buy the original pad from the system, and buy a USB converter for it. They sell some here:

SNES - http://www.retrousb.com/supernintendo.html

GENS - http://www.retrousb.com/genesis.html

I have one of these:

It's ok. Not amazing, but for 30$CA, not a disappointment. They could improve it by having 2 shoulder buttons on each side instead of just one big one on each side, and the analog sticks are poorly positioned, so you can't use them for long without getting uncomfortable. I find the D-pad to be a little too hard/sharp sometimes, too.

For just playing NHL94, I don't think I would recommend this one, but if you play other things, too, it's ok.

There are 6 thumb buttons. I set them up like this:

A O O

B C O

and the right shoulder button is START.

It seems like it would be awkward having A above B, but it's actually easier.
