NAMCO's "screw controller" aimed to eliminate this difficulty by replacing the "twisting" control of the controller and the stroke of the pusher.

Today, analog sticks are equipped as standard equipment in game machines, but there are no analog sticks in the controller of the first PlayStation that Namco's "Ridge Racer" was released, and for those who are particular about racing games, I was loved.

bymaxstrz

When you say rhythm game using guitar, Konami's "BEMANI" series "GUITARFREAKS" and its successor "GuitarFreaksXG" are known. Inspired by this "GUITARFREAKS in North America version" was created as "Guitar Hero."

The guitar type controller is slightly smaller than the real thing, with five buttons on the neck, this corresponds to the five lanes in which the note falls in the game.
