again, all you have to do to vote is just post your preference. Use whatever criteria you want.

READY.... GO!

An interesting category, because both were backwards compatible w/ the Atari 2600 style port that the Atari computers, C=64, etc also used.

Of course, the Genesis pad was available long after the colecovision, so it's retrocompatability is greater appreciated.

Between that and the fact I never liked the "throw" feeling of the Colecovision mushroom, and it's pretty cool funky styling, the Genesis pad gets my nod, even though it pales in comparison to the SNES'.

I think I've already said somewhere that I feel that the Colecovision controller is the most worthless controller ever made for a videogame system.

Meanwhile, the Genesis 6 button is a decent control pad. It's not the best, but it works well.

So, the Genesis 6 button wins.

lol ^^^^

I like the three button better than the six, but against the colecovision the vote has to go to the six button.

[JagMX]

my vote goes to coleco

[Agent X]

I'll take the Genesis controller.

[Raijin Z]

How could ANYONE vote for coleco after seeing my TOTALLY BADICAL ADVERTISEMENT? 1991: REMEMBER THE LOVE

[JagMX]

i never was a fan of the genesis and never liked their first controller - i know this is the 6 button but i didnt like the grip on it - i voted for the coleco cuz i didnt mind the controller back then. I enjoyed that system Id still rather use a coleco controller than a genesis

[Scooterb23]

I'll vote for the Genesis 6-button...I rule the world with Blanka on this controller!!!

[Ze_ro]

I grew up with the Coleco, and never thought the controller was all that bad. Maybe my hands deformed to fit it properly or something, I have no idea. The Genesis controller is nice, and I'm sure it'll win, but I'm going to go with the underdog here:

ColecoVision.

--Zero

[chrisbid]

Score So far...

Genesis 6 button - 6
Colecovision - 2

Genesis 6-button. A thing of beauty.

How can you vote for a controller that a young kid today might mistake for a cell phone?
