yeah- that is pretty awesome!  At least Atari tried to go back to its roots with the Jag controller.....lol

BTW- I posted that link in another thread a while back.  Its an awesome site-

Long live the CoCo2!

I looked at that when it was posted the first time a while back.

Definitely far from complete, but interesting none the less.

how can it be a family tree when no link exists from controllers prior to the NES? if anything its an evolution from the control disc coleco and intv had.
