totally! I didn't grow up with floppy discs, but I was very familiar with the Atari 2600 controller, so it never occurred to me that younger generations wouldn't understand it.

While the base shape is inspired the classic Atari 2600 controller, the top is probably referencing arcade cabinet joysticks. The Atari controller never shipped with a rounded top, which is a shame. My thumbs got sore on the edges of the original controller.
