All Sega Master System and Mega Drive controllers will work on Amigas as 2-button pads (buttons B and C on the Mega Drive pad work as buttons 1 and 2).
What ever you do though, don't ever plug or unplug the controllers while the A1200 is switched on, because it can blow a CIA chip, and you'll lose your right audio channels.
Oh, and Sega phaser guns don't work on the Amiga, unfortunately.
MegaDrive controllers are the best.
B and C work as button 1 and 2 as you say.
For button A, my friend an I used to have some Quickshot brand MegaDrive (Sega Genesis) controllers that we moded.
Just open it up and solder two wires from where
A is to the two wires where
"UP" on the controller is.
Why do this? Because tons of Amiga games don't use a jump button, but instead you have to press UP on the joystick to jump. Now the
"A" button is just a second
"UP" arrow, so now you have:
A for Jump and
B and
C for fire bottons. Easy 3 button controller for all Amiga games!
