Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 ...actually did something together? This has to be more video gaming "porn". I never knew they did anything together. Then again what I found was Japan only I assume. Yep...you are seeing that right. Sega branded PS controller.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Keep in mind that the controller is no mock-up...it's for sale as "junk" on ebay. I did a search for "video game junk" and it popped up. I think it's cool but found it odd to see Sega making something for Sony. Then again Sega did make good hardware when they were not trying to make one piece of hardware look like a Transformer with a dozen add-ons. I'll see if I can find out more about this controller.

MaximumRD Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Ha, I wonder how many other great things are listed under "junk", I love oddities / rarities like that. My favorite Sega controller is a 3 button Genesis pad, no different than anyone except it is the one that came with the JVC Sega X'eye console (Some would know it as the Wonder MEga) and so it has the lettering JVC right in the center of the pad and to me this is just cool. I love the days when consoles and accessories were made by a variety of companies, like the Samsung or GoldStar 3DO consoles etc. Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 One thing I noticed was the Sega PS controller has no cords. I wonder if it was wireless? I love the odd stuff too and am somewhat envious of what Japan got the we didn't. I would like a 3DO but the flip-top model as that was the one I tried at Game X Change and liked. Plays Road Rash really well! MaximumRD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 So apparently, it's a wireless ps2 controller, which makes sense, since Sega supported the PS2 after the Dreamcast died. And they made another color: And, they made some Saturn style controllers for the PS2 as well: RickR and MaximumRD 2 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I would have never thought of it being a PS2 controller because I seen the white and it looked more like a PSOne controller to me. Pretty cool and makes sense to me now. I dig those Saturn controllers. Maybe Sega had to do something with left over stock?
