I'm currently packing up my home office in preparation for moving house, and I just found this TINY Playstation 1 controller I actually forgot I owned.

It is goddamned gorgeous and a big part of me wants to stop doing this and play some Kula World or something instead.

A baby-blue Hori Mini controller for the original Playstation. No analogue sticks and a lot of adorableness.

@coldkennels The design reminds me of the SNES controller and that makes me think of Street Fighter.

@bloftin2 Yeah, I'm a sucker for unusual controllers. I also have this - a one handed controller with the accept and cancel buttons under the "grip". It was designed so you could play an RPG with one hand and take notes with a pen and paper in the other. I tended to use it more to keep a beer in the other hand - or give Faris a fuss while she was sat on my lap during a long Final Fantasy session. One of the best gaming purchases I've ever made for that alone.

A one handed Playstation controller, the ASCII Grip.

@OnkelBobbyWhite Yeah, there's more than a hint of SNES about it, just with the extra shoulder buttons awkwardly shoe-horned in. And it's a bit smaller, too.

I do seem to remember the d-pad was a bit shite, though. That said, I was playing the Vita a lot when I purchased this, and the Vita has one of the best D-pads of all time. Everything seems terrible in comparison.
