      Same, and that is still the way a d-pad should feel IMO.

      The reverse order for me. A borrowed NES first at 5-6, then a secondhand C64 at 8. Learned to type and program BASIC on that thing.

        Learned basic on that thing as well. I remember having a magazine subscription that included a program in the center fold. Then saving it to a cassette tape to enjoy later. Lol

    Atari 2600 controller. Joystick & button.

    My parents bought us a Nintendo 64 for Christmas when it came out.

    Never played any games or consoles that came in between those two. It was wild.

      Me too. I started with the little brown first-party stick that came with the Pro Pack, but soon switched to an inexplicably beige Quickshot II.
