The transition period from the 90s to mid 2000s for control schemes was so fragmented. I remember a dozen games with wildly different control schemes. Wasn’t until the late 2000s when things started getting more standardized to what we know today.

Imagine if people kept having to port their games to Dreamcast with its single-stick controllers. We dodged a bullet when that console failed.

    The DC had so many great specialized controllers!
    
    Maracas, a fishing rod, mouse and keyboard…and even the regular controllers had screens!
