    I wonder if they made more money from the $80 controller than the $40 game because of how cool the controller looked (in my opinion). I bought the controller knowing full well I had no intention of buying the game

      Well the fact that it doesn’t even have the name of the game on it and the fact that it looks cool would be a pretty good selling point. You wouldn’t even need to know or care what the game even was.

        The name is actually on the back, but yeah, probably a good choice you don’t have to look at it constantly

        Looks more like it’s themed from The Last Starfghter movie to me. I’m old though so who knows.

          I’m not that old but my parents loved that movie. Definitely gives off similar vibes. Other movies I’d have listed would be the original Tron and Wargames (I think that’s what it was called). Honestly that whole era in the 80’s would fit pretty well. I wasn’t alive in the 80’s but they had a lot of bangers when it comes to movies.

            That’s what I was comparing it to. It’s the symbol for ‘The Rylan Star League’ aka the good guys from that movie.
