I cannot understand why we don't have a modern remake of this thing of utter beauty.

Modern controller design has truly missed the mark
I miss light guns. 😩
This thing would be perfect for an arcade game I once played that combined driving with shooting so you had a wheel, pedals and a light gun. Shit was the hardest light gun shooter I ever played because you had to drive manual, too.
Wish I could remember the name of that game...
It makes sense as an "all in one".
A gun for Duck Hunt type guns, two controllers for platformers, and a racing wheel for driving games.
Similar to the NES bundle with trackpad and gun, the NES could just be sold on its own for cheaper adoption.
For new entertainment stuff, a low barrier to entry is huge.
Also makes sense for Dr Who, considering early design method was "fuck it, stick a plunger on the robots arm".

Well, aside from the gun, yeah.
It was awesome.
