Megatron:
I was able to grab this CIB set of genesis controllers off eBay for around $75 shipped. I love collecting genesis controllers, so this was a pretty nice find for me, as I've never seen the Striker in box before.  I tested some stuff, but it's such a pain forcing these wires back in the boxes that some stuff like the turbo touches I'm happy just leaving them in there and not taking them out.




I was also at a local game store and saw this...




It was marked as an NES controller and priced at $5.  Looking it up on my phone, it's an average 3rd party stick...but....



This is not an NES controller.  It's the much less common (and subsequently more expensive) Master System variant.  So I was more than happy to add this to my collection as well.   :D

tylerbgood:
That Beeshu Master System controller is so strange! It seems like it'd be awkward to control with the joystick in the middle like that. And the A and B buttons on both sides...an attempt at making a ambidextrous controller or some kind of two player arrangement? I love seeing weird third-party peripherals like this! There's always something else to collect.
Taketheword:
That Beeshu controller is in stellar condition. Those are very hard to come by.

That Casper game is actually pretty fun.  I've only played the 3DO version, but I'm pretty sure the PS1 copy is the same game. 
Dr.Agon:


Another couple knocked off the list...

Is folklore rare or desirable?  Was a bit expensive for an old Ps3 game...

Anyway, time to start the annual F&F marathon...
