Over the years there have been many weird and wonderful contraptions that have been sold to us gamers as the best thing since the Atari 2600 joystick. There have been some excellent peripherals over time, our favourite being the Sony Dual Shock 2 controller, but there also have been those that are truly terrible.

Here we have compiled a list, in crapological order, of the worst peripherals in the world that we could think of.

Interesting list, if no other reason than it featured several items you usually don't see on a list like this, and excluded some common ones (Atari 5200 controller, Coleco Super Action Controller, Powerglove, etc.). It was fun reading about some of the peripherals I was fortunate enough to miss over the years.

Super Scope? R.O.B? Gameboy Camera? Crappy? I don't think so. I had loads of fun with the Super Scope (Yoshi's Safari is a really fun game :D) Just about eveything else on that list is though :p

They should make a systems list too. For example virtual boy...... I felt the need for eye surgery after playing mario tenis.

Well I agree with the Jag pad & its strange phone bit but the original Xbox pad? that was a great pad & the button layouts perfect for emulating a Streetfighter or similar game, now the small pads got the bad layout with the black & white hidden down under the main buttons.
