Old School Games on Rip Off Joystick

[LarryLightshow]

I bought this crappy Playstation style joystick for 40 bucks in New York city
its from China and has rip-offs
of all the old Nintendo and Atatri games in the joystick..
and plugs right into my mixer with rca cables ,,very fun and easy to use live,,(and now I'm also sampling it for sounds too!

Yeah thats a great Idea, personally I use some samples of old arcade games in my mixes, but throwing some in live would be great too, something more for the chill gigs

[videotechno]

hmmm... sounds cool. what's it called?

[brain]

wow
please give company name, productcode and all the necessary information to get one!

(unless you want to keep that gimmick your personal secret, but you shouldn't have posted in the first place then... )

You can pick them up at most of the local markets that have tech related stuff, I have seen many of them around but never really put 2 and 2 together...... will be popping down to grab one this coming weekend, will post the details of mine then... the main thing is cause a lot of the games are cheap imitations of old commercial games by the likes of sony/nintendo/capcom/atari/etc. they are usually made in china and don't have much branding besides some dodgey name on the box which will have changed the next time you go there..

here's a activision rippoff

These devices are known as 10-in-1 TV Games.

There's a Atari one as well but I can't find anywhere to buy it. It's got cooler games on it. Well at least in my opinion.

Cheers for the heads up

Its also givin me an Idea.....

I have a bunch of transition loops and keep adding to them.
an old skool Pong with a twist will be easy to do as a key file.

The plan.

The standard white on black pong game as a keyable clip then moving view to zoom in on the paddles in 3d, then follow the ball/cube white on top but the sides showing as generic clips as it bounces of the paddle and spins towards the cam.. ending up as a full screen shot of oneside of the cube as the mix out point



About an hours work total..
