Title: Cheapest DDR solution for your cabinet?
Post by: paigeoliver on September 18, 2003, 05:33:30 am

I hit the buy it now button on this thing as soon as I saw it. Look at those graphics! This has to be the cheesiest thing I have ever seen!

It is apparently a pirate NES clone with 3 built in games Tengen Tetris, Pinball, and a DDR clone.

I think there are homebrew DDR games for Atari 2600 now as well ???

Well this one is an entire nes unit with the games built in. Kind of like that Namco joystick, and that Activision TV Games thing. I figured for $10 I could give it a try.

For $10 you could get a psx dance pad from toys'r'us (or the like) which might be better quality than this kids mat.

I am not saying you shouldn't try that, but just noting there is probably a better solution to playing DDR :)
(whoa, is that a double negative sentance?)

You ain't gonna use no more double negatives then me cause there ain't no more double negatives.

I know all the other things I could have done. Really I mostly just ordered that to see if it would get any use. If it does, then I may buy "Pump it Up" for PC, or a Playstation + a DDR game (whichever is cheaper).
