In the original Sims, I was 11, and didn’t realize skills improvement would get your sims better jobs.

My sims were all top ranked in the military because that was the best job that required no skills.

    Here’s an obsure one: every N64 game I had as a kid used 2 of the 3 N64 grips. You got either Dpad + face buttons, stick + face buttons (most common), and dpad + stick (sim weirdos). So you took the grip that each game required. However, to unlock the minigames and half of the features of Pokemon Stadium, you needed to use the dpad to select other overworld items. I owned the game for 2 years having only played half of it.

      The N64 controller was so weird. Those yellow directional camera buttons took months of regular gaming before they felt intuitive. Only the GameCube controller was worse IIRC, that thing just never found grace.

        For my money gamecube controller is hands down the best controller shape and some of the features. The triggers are a chefs kiss. The ergonomics are the best. The modern versions of the controller for Switch fixed the only two issues, the missing shoulder button and replacing the nub on the C-stick with an actual thumb stick.
