what controller is best
Well my fz1 3do came in today as did my interact controller, the system plays games great just has a scrach on the top not a big deal tho. Played a hour or so of samurai showdown and street fighter 2 turbo and i must say i am not a big fan of the interact controller (only one i have) The fourth button is mapped as the start or play button so it pauses games (what wee they thinking) and it feels really cheap. I'm just wandering how the original controllers are compared to this? I want to pick up a couple and need info on whats the best also i dont care if they have extra buttons or what not. So if anyone has info on original controller or 3rd party ones please let me know how they are. Thanks guys
Ps. You guys were right way of the warrier is really bad lol i also am not a big fan of two other games i recieved "Kingdom the far reaches, and The last bounty hunter" bad games and Doom is horrid lol

lol told ya about way of the warrior (horrid)
i love the goldstar controllers because they feel alot like the genesis 3 button controllers, ive been using the same controller for 11 years now.
there is a version of the original FZ1 controllers you might want to steer clear of because of a diagonal movement problem. someone else might remember what the model numbers are
i havent really tried any others for any period of time to give any other recommendations

Had the 3do hooked up to my 51 in hidef big screen and the games look beter than i tought they were going to so far im happy about the buy. Just need to get a decent controller.

I've said it before, I'll say it again
This:
Is the best for most games. Weirdly it does take a while to get accustomed to playing some games with an arcade stick, but it's actually a good (ish) stick, and it works well with most stuff.
In defense of the standard 3DO pad, it's by far the best pad to play Wing Commander with. I reckon anyway.

I really like the Logitech controller that came with Zhadnost. In fact, I liked it so much I wrote about it. The revised Panasonic controller is a close second.

My favorite controller is actually the original panasonic pad, or @ least the one that came with the FZ10. I remember the diagonal problem years ago, the answer is to undo the screws a little bit and all should work fine, worked for me
The other pad i have is a 6 button one, called sword something? anyway, has a short cable, the buttons are mutlicolored and the d-pad is purple, avoid this one if you see it, nasty nasty pad

Still looking for the newer panasonic controller or a Logitech controller evan a goldstar controller so if anyone wants to sale one let me know. I have been playing with the interact 4 button pad like shown in Lemmi's pick and it just feels cheap and the c button doesent work 100% (also 4 buttons and it doesent evan work for ssf2t extra button is mapped as pause ). Put in some time with alone in the dark 2 game has alot of slowdown but im pretty far along so far

The MadCatz 6-button is my fav of the 3do controllers, my only complaint about it would be it feels brittle in your hands, though it's surprizingly durable.
If you can get it (there seemed to have been a LOT in Australia about a year ago) the Sega Genesis adapter is worth the money. The 6-button Genesis pad rocked with Way of the Warrior, made it seem almost too simple.
