Name That D-pad!

Name the home console that each of these D-pads* belongs to and win a PRIZE! I stumbled across this earlier and it's been bugging me all day.

I don't really care about the prize (trust me, I have enough zip disk "coasters" to last a lifetime), but please someone figure out what the systems for #5, #14, #25, #27, #29, #37 are so I can stop obsessing about this.

* Disclaimer: not all of the "D-pads" are actually D-pads.

    Somehow I don't think you're actually an individual who found this interesting.

    Meh, I saw what looked like sitewhoring (with prizes) and no avatar.

    Somehow I think I wrote a crappy OP. Also, I guess it's time to make an avatar... heh.

    Anyway, I've always liked reading about the history of videogames (The Dot Eaters is a great reference site for pics like this, and a great read) and I've been enjoying this scavenger hunt of sorts so I thought I'd share.

    EDIT: Ok, I have an avatar now, can I be taken seriously?

    I'd look if you rehosted onto imageshack and linked that picture.

    Eh, don't give bother to people here when they accuse you of being a plant. They're shill-paranoid.

    I seem to remember a period of time a couple years ago when you couldn't step into a single thread without someone (seriously) being accused of being a shill/plant. It was disgusting. Just ignore it, it'll pass.

    As for the link, certainly an interesting game. But I think it would work better as just that -- a game -- rather than a contest. Wish the website would let me select answers and rate me on how well I did instead. As you said yourself, I don't really give a shit about the prize. :(

    I agree, I'd rather this was a game... then I wouldn't have wasted 3 hours on it.

    The ones with indentations in the middle are going to be Sega controllers of some sort.
