that looks ugly :|



the first pic kinda reminds me of the SNES controller....

The PSX controller, as a whole, and so many other controllers at the time, was largely influenced by the SNES controller.

And relax, it could be this ungodly beast.



Atari 5200 Trackball controller. On the right with the yellow.
So dang huge, think of a NES, but it's actually BIGGER than a freaking NES.

The first one looks like a Sega controller.

More of a N64 controller without the center prong.

Yeah and #2 looks like the SNES controller a little...

If you didn't realize, even the final production controller is obviously a SNES controller with an extra set of shoulder buttons and two handles.

But it's cleverly disguised.
