Now, on the same vein you have "Fighting Mania" (First of the North Star) by Konami, which is a more developed game on the same idea, with six different pads to hit! Here's a video of it:

That was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.

I remember the Joyboard! Yeah it was crap on carpets, needed room to tilt. :D

My contributions, a couple strange birds by Splitfish for the PS2, came out BEFORE the Wii.

Depending on what you do with it, the Playstation Move can get downright ridiculous:

Yes. Yes it does.

If you wanted a more "compact" version, NAKI made a mini-arcade that includes all the same functions.

As for SonicBlast man the Arcade game (and some of the bonus rounds in the first console game)... I still find it weird that the same power you use to stop an Asteroid is the same amount of power you use to stop a trick or mugger... 100 MEGA-tonnes of force.

Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Oh, man, you are in for a treat.


Ever wished that when slaping people in the ass you could see their faces? Well, now you can!

http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detai ... e_id=12696

"A video redemption game where the player uses a paddle to whack a denim rear-end target and make on-screen chratcer react in pain. The game has eight different selectable characters including an ex-boyfriend, an ex-girlfriend, a mother-in-law, a gold digger, a child molester, a con artist, a prostitute and a gangster. A card explaining the player's sexual behavior is despensed from the machine after the game and prizes can also be awarded."
