At the beginning of the last decade Capcom had a vision and that was to create the most insane controller ever - and with over forty buttons, two joysticks and even some car pedals they succeeded. This beast really only worked with one game, Steel Battalion, a mech game so hard that if the player didn't start the mech's engines correctly via a complex sequence of button presses the game would permanently wipe the save game. Yes it cost $200 on launch, could only be used on a single title (and its sequel) and was frankly rather silly, but its sheer size and audacity has to make it worth including.
A Welsh semi-retired television producer and actor known for low end work that astonishingly people actually watched and even garnered some awards. Originally residing in the electrically-challenged Amish areas of Pennsylvania he has written a few books (Hollywood Pants and Hollywood Horrible Hints and Terribly Fake Tips vols 1 & 2) which you can buy on amazon and all great book stores.
After a brief stint in Australia he now finds himself back in the Welsh valleys of his home country noting that it hasn't changed a bit!
