Missing Link

Dear Future Gamer

In your feature on game controllers you said that the NES revolutionised the game controller in 1982 with its two-button controller. You forgot to mention that in 1981 the Intelivision was released with a controller that had 14 fire buttons, two system buttons and a twelve-way directional joypad.

It's taken 18 years for anyone to come out with a controller as versatile as this 8bit console had.
