Genius MaxFire Video Review

MaxFire Pandora

Emulation is one of the most amazing things a PC can do for a retro gamer, but honestly, playing with a keyboard sucks mostly. You can always buy a joystick, but sometimes the pad does not look like just the original controller, or it is not well designed. I guess playing an RPG is without a controller, but I hate playing a platform or a fighting game using a keyboard, it's just not the same.

Some time ago I bought a MaxFire Pandora, especially because I thought it was cheap for a controller (I found several cheaper later, more capable controllers) and it looked like a Controller Sega Genesis 6 button. Also, it is small enough, like controllers small, even if my hands are not exactly small. According to the site Genius ", the controller has been designed for PC gamers and laptop, so that explains the size.

The USB cable is stored in the joystick, so it's good for portability.I decided to test this game KOF 97, and it worked pretty well. With 6 buttons front is great for fighting games, and he also has 2 shoulder buttons. This gives a total of 8 buttons (excluding Turbo and Clear buttons) and a generic 8-way directional pad.
