Unfortunately before I realized that controller problems could be easily fixed, I went through a lot of Sega Master System controllers and was left with just the control stick after a few years (though I played that thing A LOT and probably with dirty fingers, to boot). What were they thinking by putting the control stick on the right of the buttons? So weird. But yes, I do sort of miss that but then again, I do still have a SMS2 hooked up and can game on that if I so desire. Ah, the Sega Control Stick was very strange.

(Came free with a Subscription to Nintendo Power!). Sadly, it does not hold up. I'm not sure if it's the game itself, or just that my tolerance for "grinding" just isn't what it once was. Do you miss playing the game without the good ole "Control Stick"? Dragon Warrior was my poison of choice during those days. (Came free with a Subscription to Nintendo Power!).
