  NES Max - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NES Max was a gamepad that was released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988.
Like many later controllers (such as the PlayStation's and N64's), it had "wings": handles that extend from the edges of the pad, making it more comfortable to hold.
Unlike the standard NES controller, the Max had a small button-shaped item called a cycloid, that could be moved in directions for movement.

 NES MAX
It has the beginnings of the now familar handles, and very curiously, it also has a 360 degree thumb stick instead of the usual cross-shaped directional pad.
I'm not sure how much of an impact this controller had on subsequent generations because it wasn't as widespread as the regular NES controller.
It may have been long forgotten by the time the 32/64-bit generation came along.

Sadly, the NES Advantage is the only controller I've ever had wear out on me -- the A button went all mushy after a year or two.

All you need to do is dump the cartridge ROMs onto your PC, and play the game through one of the many NES PC emulators now available.
