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.

QuickShot


Remember the Quick Shot (Spectravideo) controller I posted a while ago? Well it took a shit and this came out- the QuickShot controller, model QS-126. Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking? It's a combination mouse, pacemaker, hospital bed thing-a-majig and controller looking peripheral.

It is roughly the same size of a standard controller... except it sucks. The A & B buttons are located on the top upper corners so this control has to be held as if it was a stopwatch. If the QuickShot people were trying to make this ergonamically correct, once again they fucked up. It's a silly piece of poop.

Maybe I got it all wrong, maybe it's for a certain game. Who knows. I sure don't care. I just wanted to share this piece of crap with you. You definately won't find this on Etsy, but if you do come across one in your neighborhood flea market, I can make it into a necklace and have Berlin model it for you. I'm going to play with it some more, maybe I can figure it out. If you have any info on this, hit me up.

The one that got away.... I'm still an outlaw anyways


Did you ever want something so bad you ended up falling asleep and not getting it? Probably not. But it did happen to me.
I found this pretty cool accessory on EBay while searching for an NES Max. It's a Camerica Videoblaster Video Gun Controller. It has all the features of the Zapper but with an Old West flare. I've never had come across this six shooter before, and I doubt I will anytime soon. I placed my bid toward the last hour and ended up losing by a few dollars because I ended up falling asleep and not maxing my bid. Sucks huh? I would have seriously loved using this gun to play Lone Ranger, Gun Smoke.
Or Wild Gunman
I tried to look up more info regarding this accessory but it was all very vague. Due to the fact the seller was located in Canada I'm assuming it was probably a Canadian accessory perhaps? If any of you happen to own the Videoblaster or have any info hit me up! Or perhaps you might want to sell......
