NES Max (Modded)

Similar to the Advantage, was originally a third party controller in Japan that Nintendo distributed in the US. In addition to turbo buttons, the key feature was the “cycloid,” a disc your thumb could slide around while you pressed against the ring that functioned as the dpad. People assumed the disc itself was meant to be the directional input and found it frustrating to use. Units pictured have thumbstick and dpad mods by Magic Trashman installed to allow better control. #retrogaming
