Honestly, I've already gotten used to it. I think it's underrated. Not the best controller by any stretch of the imagination, but decent.
Also: Pole Position II. Great game, terrible pack in. No way it could compete with SMB, or Duck Hunt, or even World Class Track Meet. Not good even for 1984. Should've been Food Fight or Ms. Pac-Man. But I love this game. Not bad, just a poor choice to pack it in on Atari's part.
Thank you all for making this 7800 possible!
