Ugliest controllers you've seen

[Archienine]

Was gonna say this. I love the controller like a mother. I know it's ugly, but I love it at the same time.

Looks like how TV shows thinks that consoles looks like

Ya... they were fugly for sure.
I had a CD-i ages ago, not the point. And yeah, aside from being a badass CD player, the controllers were about the worst design I have ever seen. This was the one I got with it at first. And trust me, it worked as badly as it looked

Not to defend the CDI (since this was a controller that came with it at some point) but the much lambasted "Spoon" remote is something that only came bundled with the model 500 series. The consumer models of the 200 and 400 series came with multiple peripherals, including a more standard 'Genesis' looking controller and a TV remote to operate it's video functions.

200 Series CDi Controller:

4 Button Touchpad Controller (Sold Seperately):

This one didn't come with the system, being sort of the "Pro" controller for the CDi. I find it interesting since the D-Pad has a removable Joystick to flatten it out. It says on the box that it's made for 200 series systems, but I couldn't vouch for the compatibility with later models.

My bet is that the nasty ass Spoon controller was created as deranged experiment to synthesize the earlier, separate game and tv remotes into one device.

this looks like a hammer or a weapon lol

"Had"
I traded the Jaguar for the CD-i, and some time later, the CD-i for some computer parts I wanted at the time

Oh, and the computer parts were good?

At the point in time yes. not now they are boxed up, in case i need them for a old build sometime.
Mind you this was some time ago

Well you should know, you reviewed for your 59th episode.

Actually, that's a picture I found from a forum discussing modding a CDi remote to be played via a Sega Genesis controller. Because, apparently, people a very adamant about retro fitting their CDi to have better hardware, instead of just playing anything else in the world.

I've never owned a CDi, so I can't even imagine what is on it that people wanna play so bad, unless it's just watching those goofy Wand of Gamelon cutscenes in stunning 280p.
