AX-1E
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AX-1E Analogue Pad was an analog controller for Sega Mega Drive video game console that was only released in Japan. AX-1E had variable-rate triggers and thumbsticks and it looked somewhat similar to the later-released Sega Saturn joypad. AX-1E never caught widespread attention, being compatible with only 3 games (AfterBurner 2, Galaxy Force 2, F1 Hero). Still, however, it goes to show that contrary to popular beliefs, Nintendo wasn't the first company to bring analog controls to home videogames.
