bit-tech.net — When it comes to game design, there is only so far you can go with a gamepad. A few talented, brave and frankly bonkers designers have managed to convince their corporate paymasters into creating a special add-on controllers solely for their game and Bit-Tech has rounded up ten of the best of them - including maracas, guitars and vibrators.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: No Colecovision, no digg.

The article is pathetically lame and doesn't deserve anyone's attention.

The standard DC controller was pretty unique. Had multiple slots for memory card/rumble in the controller. Each controller could have its own screen for additional options/info. Hell even the memory card had a controller on it. You could almost say it it had a controller in the controller.

Wow, around 20 comments, and NO-ONE has mentioned the vibrator yet. I never thought I'd see the day when an article about 10 controllers, one of which was used for sexual pleasure, and for the first 16 hours and 20 comments, not a single mention of it.At least I thought it was an ammusing "controller". (If I had a PS2 I would be looking for one of these to import)
