Oh wow. I used to spend hours with Mario Paint. Have you seen some of the vids on youtube? People have made just about every music track from every game with the limited music maker in Mario Paint. Some of that stuff is incredible.

Yeah some of those vid's are just awesome...I couldn't imagine spending that much time trying to arrange all those damn notes and mario heads to make anything remotely coherent lol

I thought this might be a fun and interesting thread for us.

Each of us shares a strange game, accessory, controller, or console from gaming's history. Give us a brief description or history on the item, and preferably a picture to go with it so we can see this oddity from years gone by, and then let another person do the same. This would work much like our "Top 100" lists.

Rules:

• Please post only 1 item per post.
• Please allow others to post before posting another item.

So, let's see what we can learn about together. I'll go first:

1. The Aura Interactor Virtual Reality Game Wear accessory for Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo

If you wear this, supposedly you can feel the pain when your character onscreen is attacked. Right, because that would be awesome. Who's the guy sitting around the conference table going "Wouldn't be great if when your kicked in the game, it actually kicks your arse?" I bet he was in Fight Club (we don't talk about Fight Club). I've never actually used one, but from what I hear, it's nothing but a plastic vest that has a rumble-feature.

I have one of those...it's not that great.If it actually kicked my *** that would actually be better.

I'll add the Roll & Rocker. This thing is complete garbage. You stand on it and tilt from side to side to move the d-pad. The best part is, you plug a controller in to use the a & b buttons, and the d-pad works on the controller. Total fail.
