X-Wing is video gaming's Greek Fire
When I was a kid and this game and Tie Fighter were around I got a joystick with 100 buttons/controls on it.

I got a Microsoft force feedback joystick to play them... Sadly I got rid of it before I got more interested in electronics.

Didn't even know such a thing existed. We could only afford a pretty basic model (3-axis, 2 button) when I was a kid.

46 is still a crazy large number to me, so your exaggeration is still fine :)
