In Control- Another QuickShot Controller

Let me tell you about the QuickShot model no: QS-130N. This joystick controller is a pretty kick ass one. So far, this is my favorite one of my collection. It's your standard joystick controller; it features a pistol grip, and it's comfortable enough for both left and right hand use. It was only $.59 at the thrift store! I used an exclamation mark because I am all for the excitement.

The controller consists of 4 buttons and 1 switch. The trigger is the A button, the large red one is the B button, left is start and right is select. The switch is to enable auto (turbo) off/on.

I like to use this controller to defend Democracy on games such as Airwolf. Why? Because Stringfellow Hawke is a bad ass, and Dominic Santini, Ernest Borgnine, fucken slays me. Just look at him... Seriously, he doesn't know how to work on helicopters. Just look at that face!
He's a great American.

May the U-Force be with you

Here's my review on the 1989 NES U-Force by Broderbund Software as promised.
After waiting almost a week for my U-Force to arrive, I was quite anxious to see what this little gem was all about. I was excited to find out it didn't require any batteries; a nice change to all the battery sucking controllers I have recently tested.
The U-force is a movement sensitive controller. A sort of scanner, infra-red light controller. It comes with a U shaped T-bar with hand grips and a "powerbar". This accessory was for the use on Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I got a little frustrated trying to play this game. Also, On the hand grips there are 2 rapid fire buttons. This I used while playing Ikari Warriors, equally as frustrating. This peripheral definitely has a learning curve. I think I ought to play with it a little longer to get the feel for it (no pun intended).
Here's a more in-depth review done by "The Norseman"...funny, yet strange
