I used to see the Sports Pad in Sega catalogs back in the day. But I didn’t get to try one out until last year. I played the Sports Pad football game and the novelty of the controls wore out after a couple of minutes.
I did find out that Sports Pad and/or Sports Pad football is not compatible with all Master Systems, it only worked on the second system I tried.

Intriguing! I did not know this.
Yeah, poor Sports Pad. Not a bad trackball, but as with many Sega peripherals, criminally underutilized.
In retrospect it seems obvious to use the controller for bowling and golf games, but as always hindsight is 20/20!
