    Default Anyone know where these came from?

    I have a couple of controllers that look like they are for the nes, however, they have a connector for something like the atari or sega genesis. the front is mostly gold and *SHINY* the red is on the back. all buttons except for two turbo buttons for the a and b button are black. turbo buttons are red. Also, the cord comes from the left side of the controllers. On the upper right hand corner it has a roman numeral: "I". and says turbo joystick in the center. On the box is says it is a "3600 pad" with "-FIGHTER 3600-" below it. also says for "3600 with turbo fire". and "made in china." Anyone know what these are for? I've tried them with a sega master system, genesis, atari....and it doesn't work properly for any of them(although one or two buttons make the character duck!!! *QUACK*) Thanks!

    I have no real digital camera so it will be impossible for me to get a photo of the controller now, but I'll break out my gameboy camera tommorow to get one. that camera sucks because i can't take pics in the dark or even light!! it's gotta be hella bright to get a decent picture. anyway the controller seems to be made very cheaply. i googled it and found nothing. i also went on ebay with no luck.

    Yeah, one time long ago I thought I found an atari light gun, that looked practically brand new! Imagine my dismay . . .

    yep, probably a famiclone controller.

    Default hmmm...

    The Roman Numeral 'I' tells me they are Turbo Grafx controllers.
