You cold use a keyboard, or a 360 pad, but that's lacking in authenticity. No, if you're playing a classic console game, you need a classic console controller. 3

Think Geek are thus selling what they're calling "Classic Console USB Controllers", but which are really just exact replicas of everything from the Genesis pad to the GameCube controller. There's even an old Atari joystick.4

I haven't used one, so I can't vouch for their build quality (it's just the shells that look identical), but being PC pads they all let you reconfigure the buttons, which is a nice touch.

They're $15-20, so hey, even if they're not the greatest controllers, they might be worth it just for appearance's sake. Not to mention muscle memory's sake.

These are awesome, I was considering getting a couple, myself. I use a wired XBOX 360 controller for ll my PC gaming at the moment.

I actually have the retrolink n64 usb controller. They're pretty damn bad ass, I only had to replace it once, the A and B buttons went out quickly(Then eventually the controller just stopped responding to the computer) cause I would smash them in No Mercy trying to get outta pins n submissions or trying to get back up. But my second one is holding up fine(I started mashing the L & R triggers instead lol)
