Crashman has the winner.
The Intellivision controller is universally thought to be the worst ever ... especially among classic players. I never quite got this as the Coleco and Atari 5200 are very similar. And the 5200 was reknown for its unreliabilty (it would break if you looked at the wrong way).
The Intellivision does have 31 different inputs -- 16 directions, 12 keyboard keys and upper left, upper right and bottom side keys (they both provide the same input). Not quite as bad as some games today ... but getting there.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
