Accessory eccentricities
PlayStation has played host to all kinds of weird and wonderful accessories over the years, but how many can you name? Do you consider yourself to be something of a plastic fantastic – or are you going to flop in the face of all these unnecessary add-ons? Shut that controller slot that you call a gob, and test yourself with our latest quiz.

11/15. I definitely remember some of these peripherals, mostly crap and overpriced.
9/15 not half bad🙂
PlayStation pregnancy kit 😂😂😂
I usually do really bad at these but got 11/15 on this one
8/15 cool quiz ! But there are some crazy peripherals out there ^^
9/15 for me. There's a lot of weird peripherals here.
Hahahah the PlayStation pregnancy kit!!!! I'm all done having kids but if I ever came home to my wife um, 'using' that, I'll be pissed. Although maybe it would have saved me some money on pregnancy tests haha
7/15. Mostly guesses. I didn't recognize alot of these and the ones I did, never knew the names...
8 straight outta compton 15 enjoyed this one...all guesses
I had the Playstation mouse, had a third party one as well which wasn't as good, unsurprisingly. Got plenty of use out of it. C&C Red Alert and X-COM were both very popular in our house. Worked well on a few other strategy games as well. Still waiting for Sony to bring out another one, lol. Maybe one day.
7/15.
That's actually way better than I expected to do.
10/15, there's a lot of playstation peripherals that I didn't know exist.
5/15, hope everyone gets the mouse (spoilers)
13 out of 15 got the Samurai Sword thing and the stepping thing wrong. I really need to get out more, or get a new hobby.
I knew it was wrong but I just had to choose Playstation pregnancy kit.
Somehow I got 9 despite never seeing half of them!
9/15, thankful for the literal named peripherals. Also I have fond memories of playing Buzz with friends. Great quiz game.
6/15 while there were only 2 of them in our country and i own one. ☺️
12. Not too shabby. Some pretty obvious guessable ones.
12 / 15 no bad! However that pregnancy test answer choice killed me💀
10/15 and I only knew the back button attachment. I laughed so hard at the playstation pregnancy kit
Better than expected 7-15 most were guesses.
Can we get a new version of the Soul Katana for Ghost if Tsushima? I see that it was originally for Onimusha 3 on PS2.
14. Mostly luck though. I only really knew 2 or 3. Sphere 360 got me.
4/15. Guees corrextly on 3 and knew the BUZZ! Controller because I used to have that game.
11 out of 15 few lucky guesses got some buzz controllers somewhere.
PlayStation pregnancy kit 😂I had to pick that answer.
Haha, glad you enjoyed it!
7/15. What game would be compatible with the “Maestro Baton” anyways?! Is there a market for orchestral conducting sims?
Honestly having a pregnancy kit peripheral might be more useful than that 😂
@SirAngry i got 12 out 15 and thought the same lol. on plus side i only ever owned the mouse controller
@Anguspuss I actually had a few of these things at a work place once, where they had a technical team that just tried out weird controllers. They also built weird controllers. I have no idea why they existed in the studio they did, or what they achieved, but they were all big tea drinkers so we got on really well. I personally owned the mouse for certain RTS / strategy games on PS1. Not sure I owned any of the others.
@SirAngry the mouse was great for rts and strategy games
7/15
Well, here's a whole bunch of stuff I didn't even know existed.
Shame you don't have the multitap for the ps1.
8/15.. Did i pass the useless gimmick-test??
4 of the peripherals had the names visible in the photos (though you'd need to be able to read katakana for 2 of them). Fun quiz though.
Mates 10/15 is amazing since I barely knew 5 of these lol
Also PS Pregnancy Kit is brilliant lol
Ok only got 3 and even those were a guess some of those wtf lol. Anyone who really got over 8 wow I thought I loved ps but never even heard of most of them, might be because I just came from the pub but wtf ps lol. (Hopefully just because I came from pub and all is somewhat normal still lol) if not wtf some of these are just wtf, and you should be ashamed to get a good score lol
I bombed it. I haven’t heard of almost any of these. Man, these are obscure. Good job.
@get2SammyB Can we get an article going over the history and purpose of these peripherals?
10/15. Went into this thinking it'd be quite easy but some of these are really obscure.
Another great quiz, guys!
7/15 was my score
6-15?......... Funny thing is I worked in retail when THEY SOLD THEM!!! and I still got them wrong
4/15, but to be fair, I never knew many of this existed. Japan is definitely a strange place
12, but some were total guesses. Sphere 360, Stepper and Back Button Attachment were the sneaky devils here.
12/15 Surprised how many I hadn't seen before, was expecting a jogcon in there.
12/15. Not too shabby.
I admit I cheated on the second question by reading the text on the box.
