Brand new and factory packaged BPS MAX
controller for the original Famicom
(Original 8-bit console). The BPS Max could
be considered a precursor or perhaps inspiration for
the design sensibilities of the Sony Dual Shock with
its stubby finger grips and rectangular shaped main
body. In our opinion, the BPS MAX has a built-in
learning curve in order to be used properly. A
player who grasps the controller for a few minutes
and twiddles mindlessly with the red Cycloid Pad
might not appreciate how it's supposed
to work. Hint: It's not supposed to be
shuffled around by its non-centering lonesome.
The Cycloid Pad is surrounded by a "Donut Pad" which works like a
standard 8-way D-pad which measures roughly 1" in
diameter. You could try to manipulate the Donut Pad
by pressing on it directly but that's unwieldy and
uncomfortable. For proper usage,
situate your thumb upon the Cycloid Pad and press
down and move it all around in order to manipulate
the Donut Pad. Got it? You're supposed
to press on the Cycloid Pad in order to exert
control on the surrounding Donut Pad. It's a thing of beauty
once you realize how smooth the control mechanism is
for shooters, some sports games, and select platform
titles on the Famicom. As an extra bonus, a turbo-fire function may
be toggled for the "A" and "B" buttons which allows
gamers to gun 16 shots per second.
Product Condition
NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and
factory boxed in the original cardboard

The packaging is in overall very good
shape with all remaining inventory in undamaged condition but please note that there
is some scuffing and slight creasing of the
