I didn't really mean that you should mount a matress to the wall.  I just meant that as an example :P

That's a stellar idea.  I bet those are gathering dust in basements across the US.   Hack one of those SOBs!

RayB:

Keep in mind, the way the buttons on the original SF worked wasn't that if you hit it hard enough it registers a blow. It would register different strengths for punches and kicks (light, med, hard). So just putting padding over a button isn't going to duplicate that kind of input.


Kremmit:

You know, the Quasicon controller has arcade-looking analog buttons..



Big Lebowski:

Has anyone seen the punching power game they have outside the arcade at the Luxor hotel in Vegas? When you plug a couple of quarters in the machine what looks like a large speed bag drops down from the top. You hit the bag as hard as you can, and it measures the force of the punch on a numerical scale ranging from 0-999. It has a chart on the front of the machine measuring your power level. 800-899=Fighter 900-999=Boxer etc. It was a pretty cool attraction, and people were plugging money into it non-stop while I was there. For variety you could also choose to measure punching speed instead of power, though I didn't see anyone try that so I don't know how it worked. I tried to Google the game when I got back from Vegas but couldn't find anything. The only names I saw printed on the machine were Boxers and Boxing Champions. There was no screen display, just LED numbers that counted up and displayed your final power measurement. If anyone has any info on this game I'd appreciate finding out more about it.
