I bought a controller for the 3DO, made by Logitech, at a local Value Village for 3.99 and I am confused about it. It doesnt look like all of the other Logitech 3DO controllers, it looks like the 3DO Blaster Controller yet it doesnt have the 'CREATIVE' stamp on the top like the Blaster controller has been shown to have.

So Basically:http://www.blood-is-red.de/wiki/images/3dosystems/3do_blaster_pad.jpg

Without the word creative, otherwise identical. Was this just some controller for the 3DO or was it a seperately purchasable controller made for the 3DO Blaster computer attachment?

I posted about this on another forum (Good find :)):

Logitech designed all three control pads pictured below.
The control pad on the left that was included with the 3DO Blaster is identical to the control pad in the middle with one exception. The one in the middle (which was sold by itself) does not have the "Creative" badging in the top center.
Also, as I said, the one in the center without the badging is very hard to come by.
The one on the right was the follow up pad to the one in the center.
I've included boxed copies of the control pads behind each control pad to show what their boxes look like.

Those are some interesting takes on a controller.

I don't think I have ever seen any of those designs. Are they region specific or something like that?
