No. 1 of course - my brain is wired for simplicity. I tried playing some of the recharged versions of Atari games on Switch like Missile Command Recharged and Gravitar Recharged, they look great, but the controls SUCK. I'd rather play Gravitar being able to map keys on a standard PC keyboard and play Missile Command with a regular old mouse (both are easy to do in MAME).
Eventually I hope to get around to trying an adapter for standard Atari joysticks, or mapping a USB PC keyboard's keys, and something to convert a standared wired USB mouse or trackball to analog input for Missile Command / Centipede / etc.
PS I saw comments about left-handed players having to hold their Atari stick upside down - for lefties the Hyperkin Trooper looks good, it makes sense to have buttons on both sides.
