The world's worst game controller fails

The world's weirdest PC game controllers

Interact Pool Shark



Around the turn of the millennium, Interact released the world's first PC pool cue controller. For the first time, you could use your personal pool cue (or the tiny plastic one that came in the box) to shoot billiards on your PC. When you got tired of snooker, you could snap your cue in half and wield it as a weapon in imaginary bar fights. In a short-sighted move, Interact neglected to include a sensor for that.
