NES is a classic a whole bunch of people wanted when it came out in a new version. -

But it isn't possible for everyone because of limitations. Someone by the name of onefatsurfer tells the story how he created a working NES controller for a customer who recently lost his arm: "In order to make room in the case to fit the new buttons, I had to cut the circuit board and rewire the traces. Every button had to be rewired. Not pictured are the second set of A/B buttons." -

"The controller has a second set of buttons, and is held vertically, so it can be used with one hand. The directional pad is rotated so that the directions are aligned with the new vertical grip." -

This may be a small thing, changing the life of one person in one little aspect but it is a sign that being sick or disabled doesn't mean you have to give up on little pleasures in life.
