Like this game and force myself to play on my reel colecovision. But dam, it is difficult since this game need 3 buttons. So I need to play with my original controller, which is definetly not my favorits

You are more hardcore than me. I played on RetroArch with a 8bitdo SN30 PRO :)
I wish I had a original console here with me. I don't mind the original controllers.

Good to hear from a fellow CV gamer that doesn't mind the original hand controllers! I've owned and used many other controllers over the years and I always end of going back to the original Hand Controller for any serious gaming... or one modded with a longer shaft and ball knob. Nothing else feels right especially for certain games with the modern gamepad creations being the worst in my opinion but others love them.

I could sit for hours with the original ones. Even those Rocky controllers. No I didn't mind them at all. I even played better with the originals. I tried some other ones, but always came back to the real deal. Now unfortunatly I have no means using my machines. I have two. One is working 100% but the other one has some graphic/glitchy issues. But the main problem is that I don't have anything to hooke it up to. I live in Sweden. Not easy to get them modded for RGB over here :(
