Atari 2600 controller was not a Joystick at all.

I am in that same age group mentioned above... I always held the stick like a regular joystick, still do, never had any performance issue with a reasonably functioning stick.
Why did so many people chew on their controllers?

same reason so many kids chewed on pens/pencils in school....
because they could
ChadTower:
I've parted out some controllers that were literally chewed all the way through, down to having half the freakin inner stick gone. Really bad stuff, disgusting, and not from dog teeth either (anyone who has had a teething dog knows how dog chewed stuff looks).
NES controllers got chewed a lot too and I don't get it.

Oh, that's funny. That was so me. Same reason I chew on my cell phone antenna and recently broke off a piece of tooth chewing on a pen.
I never used that grip. I'll have to try it tonight. I remember my joysticks breaking, but I guess my parents weren't savvy enough to call customer service. We jsut bought new/used joysticks at garage sales!

About 10 or so years ago, I dug out the old atari and hooked it up, only to find none of the controllers worked. I realized the plug was shaped exactly the same as the plug on the sega genesis controllers, so I tried plugging one of them in and it actually kind of worked. I don't remember how well it actually worked, but I do remember playing a few games with it.
