dec 15, 1981 - Atari 5200 SuperSystem
Description:
While a number of 'pads with numbers and dials' designs came and went, it wasn't until the Atari 5200 that a notably different controller emerged. Uniting a keypad with a joystick, the 5200's 360-degree non-centring joystick gave players more control than the previous eight-way design.
