Kids Controllers :Rare or not ?

[Lord-Chaos]

Anyone knows if the Kids Controllers are rare ? I did not find any Kids Controller for years , but lots of the similar Video Touchpad and the Keyboard Controllers.

 

I seems that ATARI produced many more games that required special controllers than they made those special controllers - seems to be the same with the ATARI Lightgun , didn´t see Lightguns "in the wild" for years , only overpriced Lightguns on ebay.

But there are lots of Lightgun-only games,especially for the XEGS and the 7800 ...

There not all that rare to find. You can find Kid controllers on ebay all the time. The rare thing is to get all the games that the kid controllers were made for, games like Big Bird, Oscare the Grouch, Cookie monster and others. I have all the Kid controller games in there boxes, that took some time to do.

I find The kids controller about as often as a track ball controller. If im lucky 1 -2 every few months in the wild. Finding the overlay for the kids games is very hard most of the time they are all bent up or have holes in them.

The games seem to be really common in PAL countries ,especially Big Bird´s Egg Catch and Cookie Monster Munch , can be found new in box with overlays (I have lots of them).

 

But the Kids Controllers seem to be as rare as the ATARI Lightgun.

 

ATARI maybe did not ship many units to Europe , but made lots of the games.

Perhaps it's because they're functionally identical to the keypad and keyboard controllers. You really didn't need the kids controllers to play the kids games.
