Any Atari Jaguar Collectors/Fans out there?

[Phil]

If any of you are into the Atari Jaguar (doubtful but who knows!), then you will know how expensive an official Pro Controller can cost, setting back you a few hundred quid on ebay.

Someone in the states has successful made some unofficial pro controllers which are currently for sale. They look pretty good to me. He's selling 2 for $120 plus shipping. I was initially interested but only wanted to buy one, as money is a bit tight for me at the mo! If any one wants to buy just 1 too, let me know maybe we could put an order in together.

I have a Jaguar and one controller came with it. I had no idea about these 'Pro' controllers. Naturally of course, they're extremely rare. What's the advantage of these over the normal controllers? Do some games need the extra buttons? Or are the extra buttons only for CD games?

[Phil]

The extra buttons are mapped to existing the numeric keypad buttons. It just makes certain games easier to play. Well worth $60 in my opinion! Also there's a few games that are awful to play without a pro controller. Apparently the pad and buttons are less spongy, it's the pad that should have been released originally with the console...
