RF Generation Message Board

Just got my latest video up on YouTube for fans of Atari, Intellivision, and Colecovision controllers. This episode has to do with the topic of controller add-ons (for those of you who never got into Atari, think of Wii guns, steering wheels, and golf clubs). Anyone here have an early 80s game controller add-on? Some of them are lame, yet others really make your controller extra special... Check it out and share a comment (or thumbs-up!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6k5RoKYRUI

I've got the keyboard device that you showed for the Colecovision, and also a stick that replaces the standard Coleco one. I'm not sure where either came from as they were in the set with my ADAM, but they are nifty little add-ons. I'm not sure if you've tried the 2600 reproduction controllers that came with the Flashback 2, but those are now my go to sticks.

I'm much more of a NES controller collector, but these things are neat. Welcome to RFG!

I would really like to see how firmly that Colecovision Co-Stickler holds onto the controller knob without adhesive being involved...  Did you try that?

That's cool that someone here has some experience with these add-ons!  The Champ Keypad is a cool retro item to use from time to time.

I indeed do have an Atari Flashback 2 controller and really like it :)

...I've got about 5 bins full of controller hardware in the room. I attempted to go through it a few years ago, and took some pictures for the site, but I've not attempted to use most of it. A lot of them look uncomfortable, or pretty useless.

I am interested to know what you have.  Got a list?  Any of it for sale or trade?  I am definitely in the market for Colecovision Sticklers and other items that might be similar...
