Nice simplistic artwork. Could i possibly use this as a basis for a LP-cover artwork?

Brings back some good memories of when I was glued to my TV playing the Sega Genesis.

It certainly does. Even though it was limited in function, I always felt that the 3-button controller was more comfortable to hold.

I never used an actual 6-button controller before.

I've got a couple of them, they're smaller than the 3-button model. You weren't missing out on much because only fighting games really took advantage of them.

Yeah. If you've ever played the Sega Genesis versions of games such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter with the 3-button controller, you can't pause during game play.

Yeah, that can be a pain. Even though I had the Genesis version, I'd normally move to the SNES for MK and SF. The games ran more smoothly and had a better controller.

Indeed it does. I remember a time when people were bummed out that the Genesis only had 3 action buttons. But Sonic only required one
