You might have noticed there’s a few staples of ONM Remembered. Okay, it’s more than a few, but I’ll spare you the list. I’m a sucker for anything to do with controllers and peripherals from the Nintendo 64 era. And any magazine article that happens to talk about them in-depth… well, hot dog, I am all over that!<\/p>\n

Jeez, who knew there were so many steering wheels for the N64? Who knew there were so many racing games, for that matter?<\/p>\n

There’s an interesting column along the side giving a brief breakdown of the development of a controller, InterAct’s Rattlesnake steering wheel prong thing, going from its conception, then design, and on to production. You don’t really hear much about the development cycle of a video game controller, let alone a third-party one, do you? I think it’s neat to hear about. I would’ve loved for this to have been in more detail with a broader scope, but they’d probably be pandering to the geekiest audience imaginable if they did that. They’ve got a reputation to uphold!<\/p>\n

Speaking of reputations, if I hadn’t a crippling penchant for starting and abandoning projects on a whim, I’d probably end up starting an online museum for all these dumb old game accessories forgotten to time. Thankfully, someone has spared me the effort<\/a>! I would’ve loved an excuse to go scrounging for old, obscure controllers though, because hokey smokes, look at those translucent gamepads! I think I’m in love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
