I saw this controller in a box at hardoff the other day. First time I’ve seen a controller with some sort of actual string involved, connecting down to some powered base. Nutty. Hori HPS 97 - bundled with the game Winning Lure.

I wonder what it plays like, can’t find any videos.

Okay, so… Lainwithtea over on bsky has sent me down an absurd rabbit hole.

my Fishing Game situation is now slightly out of control. I’ve gone from zero, to:


  • PS1
    • Agetec Fishing Rod Controller
    • Fish Eyes
    • Reel Fishing
    • Reel Fishing II

  • Super Famicom
    • Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No. 1

  • N64
    • ASCII Tsuricon Fishing Rod Controller
    • Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No. 1

  • Dreamcast
    • Sega Fishing Rod Controller
    • Sega Bass Fishing
    • Sega Marine Fishing
    • Reel Fishing | Wild

  • PS2
    • Agetec Fishing Rod Controller (another one, by accident)
    • Reel Fishing III (which is not compatible with the controller??)

  • Wii
    • Sega Bass Fishing

  • PSP
    • Reel Fishing: The Great Outdoors

  • PC
    • Sega Bass Fishing

  • Xbox 360
    • Sega Bass Fishing

Anyway I’ve gone completely out of my gourd here but these games are wonderful and I love that I’ve fallen into them like this. It’s a great end-of-day wind down.
