Hi There,
My name is KC & I came across Vizzed & having a love for old games & a little bit of experience with emulators, figured I'd climb aboard as a member. My gaming experience goes back to playing Pong on the Atari 2600 & 5200, then an Intellivision before getting the ultimate; the Atari 7800. Time went on & I got a Nintendo NES, a Sega Genesis, a Gameboy/ DS & 3DS, then the original Xbox, an Xbox 360, Nintendo GameCube & circa 1998, I had a HONKIN', bad to the bone Gateway that I had a MAME emulator & at least 300 roms/games on it. Being that I am a 44 (soon to be 45) year old woman, some find it odd that I have such love for video games, but they are a great stress reliever & a lot of fun too. I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia (in Southern New Jersey) with my husband & a veritable zoo of pets (dog, cats, birds, fish). Aside from video gaming, I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, bird watching, fast cars & driving them (namely Fords & I am a Mustang aficionado), shooting guns (at targets) & getting out into nature as much as possible. I love the beach & the mountains & hope to get back into biking as I have bad knees & am trying to stay away from surgery for as long as possible. I look forward to meeting others & getting back into playing games via this emulator, but need to buy a USB compatible PC controller as my old one is the type that you would screw into a port on the back of your desktop tower & uh... there ain't one available on my 5 month old tower. So, can anyone make a recommendation for a controller that can be used with the majority of the old arcade games (I was excited to find The New Zealand Story, which is mucho lame-o, available here
but is I game I liked.) Thanks for your time & for any future replies with suggestions for a new PC controller.
