Yeah, it didn't start there.

Like for nostalgia's sake, I literally had a Scarface doll.

They had it initially on this handheld game called a Game & Watch, which if you look at this, it looks like it's sort of the predecessor to the Game Boy.

Oh yeah, I've seen that.

The Scarface Al Pacino that I used to have in the office.

Did it come with a mound of cocaine?

And it's called a Game & Watch because it had a clock on it.

It did.

A plastic mound of cocaine?

It did.

And now you can find pretty much any kind of action figure you want from politicians to older movies and TV shows and things you wouldn't even imagine people would, like Welcome Back Cotter action figures.

So it told the time, and it was a game.

So they call it the Game & Watch.

But that's where the D-pad came from.

And Donkey Kong is a game that really took great advantage of...

Of the D-pad, and it just seemed like the natural, and now they make the little mini joysticks, which are great.

Yeah.

And I didn't realize this, but apparently companies intentionally will release like a very limited run of some where like they're missing their thumb or like it's mislabeled on the package to make these things to make them valuable for the aftermarket, the collector's market, which seems really untoward to me.

But some, I think the Xbox, do they have joysticks, or do they still use that D-pad?

I don't know.
