Played HALO once, didn't like it, didn't notice anything bad about the controller though. I can adapt to almost any game controller in seconds due to one thing: I had two game consoles early in life. With both a Nintendo SNES and a Sega Genesis I've adapted to several controllers. Even the N64 one doesn't feel awkward in my hands, and it's made freakishly. Honestly, the average human only has two hands, not three, Nintendo...

Actually, i think that the thrid thingy is just for stabalasation of the controller.(thats related to the n64 controller, people.)

Too small and slimline for the time era it was made in.

That was actually the console my parents had that I played on. :lol:

Well, that's not the specific one, but it's the same model. Not the actual Intellivision brand, but the Sears knockoff brand. :lol:

So that's really what the controller looked like.

Wow, that just brought back a wonderful nostalgia. I LOVED the old intellivision games. I never had one (lousy cheap parents), but my best friend down the street did, and my life was never the same. I blame that controller for making me the addicted game-geek that I am today.

Darn controller.

If Nintendo had built their's a bit more like the playstation, with two evenly spaced handles, it would've worked better.

I had a buddy with that, he also had OmniVision.

I think my first console was the Pong thing. But, then we got Atari 2600 for Christmas. I hung out with Pitfall Harry for hours on end.

I also played Halo as someone said above.

Personally, I can't express my self enough, it is the best game I have ever played. Not because of graphics, but the storyline.

If you think the Halo storyline is the best ever, I doubt you've played many other games.

Deus Ex?
System Shock 1/2?
Final Fantasy VII or VIII?
Silent Hill Games (The best in my opinion)
Beneath a Steel Sky
The Broken Sword Games

etc etc, so many games have a better storyline than Halo

Ooh i like the direction this thread's going..

Best game ever huh?
Mmmm....my own favourites are:
The original 'Unreal' (still looks good today and the atmosphere is almost unrivalled, plus it's a good length unlike all console shooters).
'Black & White' (Haven't played 2, but training a tiger to throw his poo at your enemies is priceless).
'The Secret of Monkey Island' (A genuinely funny game, and it was a real challenge trying to figure out some of the insane puzzles).

And 'Oh Mummy' on my Amstrad CPC (pure genius).
