Hmm, are you sure?

Once I had a joypad, it looked alot like a SNES pad. It was blue and black, with four buttons on the front, I think. I can't remember if it had those top two L and R buttons.

Anyway, I only used one button for most games. But I remember when I was playing R-Type and R-Type 2 I made a delightful discovery - I could use three buttons!

One for normal fire (shoot, or hold down to charge your beam).

Another for rapid fire (spurting shots, no charging when you held the button down).

And a third to blast your powerup globe away from the ship. Tapping it again retracting it.
